Great News - K1 Visa Approved

[kennym 275]

Thanks Everyone for your replies..

Man what an experience!! We had spent months preparing, and liteally the past few weeks, I was stressed worrying about little details that I may had overlooked.. You all know, that this whole thing nearly tops the list of the most importing things you'll do in your life.. And I put a ton of pressure on myself because I did not want to let me or my fiancee down by overlooking something critical.

Anyhow, it's was really great how smoothly the interview went, but seriously in some respects, I was ready to throw down some serious evidence.. Each time my fiancee went up to one of the Windows, I was nearby with My hands on all the proof and ready to fight to proove our relationship.. It's kinda like comming to a football game and the other team doesn't show up..

Well, Ultimately the goal was to get the Visa Approval and Thank God we have it..

After yesterdays experience, Maritza and I just felt extremely wore out and tired from all the preparation and litteraly the weight off our shoulders that had lingered thoughout the process and more-so the closer the interview came the heavier the weight became.. So after the interview, it seems like our energy plumetted and we slept most of the day. When evening came we looked at each other, and although every-once-in-awhile, we both shouted a said "we're approved" the enthusiasm for a night out celebrating was overcome with fatigue.. We did go out for while, but we ended up at Exito (kinda like a Wal-Mart) and then Maritza had a Craving for A Sundae from McDonalds, so that was the extent of our celebration..

All-in-All we're both excited and Happy, but there is a lot to prepare for now with the "wrapping up" of our apartment in Medellin, Packing her stuff for her entry into the USA and, planning that trip. I will fly down here and Accompany her back to the US.. I am considering booking first-class just to add a little token to show her how I appreciate the Sacrifice she is making to leave everything she knows to come to US with me... Not nearly what she deserves, but a little something..

I have one more week in Medellin, Myself, Maritza, Valentina (Fiancee's daughter) Maritza's mom and Maritza's sister and Brother along with one of Maritza's Uncle are escaping for 4 days to a little house in the country for some relaxation, food, and just enjoying each other's company. No phones, email, or television...

There were 3 big things I had been dreaming about since Beginning this process.. One was Maritza's and my first plane ride together for the Interview, second was the interview and Approval. Those dreams were realized this week.. That was huge for me, since it's not always that dreams come true..

Third, is Maritza first steps into the USA and our drive from the San Antonio Airport to Del Rio (150 Mile Trip) together. I beleive realizing that dream is just around the corner.. Basically I've decided not to preasure Maritza to make that trip. I am letting her take whatever time she needs to leave Colombia.. But she knows, it's not that she's leaving permanently, however the mindset is it's not just a new chapter in her life, it's kinda like ending one book, and starting a new one... But I promised her, that Colombia is basically a 3 hour trip from the US, and not to think of it as leaving forever..

We're blessed to have gotten this far in this process with relatively few obstacles, thank god.. So I really hope the best for everyone who is still waiting for this day to happen.. Today, MAritza and I will head to the church and give god the thanks he deserves.

God bless all of you who's helped us. And our next big thing is the POE... Looking forward to that trip..

Hey Kenny,

I've been following your journey on the various Colombian threads; even the Spanish ones. I can see the true joy that you and Maritza share on your faces in your foto. I can not express how truly happy I am for the two of you. Good luck and best wishes in your new life together.

Robert
