Hello everyone, I have been lurking on this forum a little bit here and there, and I finally decided to register.

A bit of background info: I met my fiancée online back in May of last year. To make a long story short, I went to visit her in Ukraine for most of the month of October. Although I didn't know what to expect when I met her in person, we hit it off perfectly and I asked her to marry my towards the end of my visit. Once I arrived back in the States, at the advice of a few friends, I consulted an immigration attorney. I started working on acquiring all the documents, and my fiancée did her part. However, the translation service my attorney uses misspelled several documents, and they all had to be redone. This, along with waiting for various documents, took from the first week of November until last week, when we finally had everything together. l probably could've done it all myself in a fraction of the time, but I didn't want to take the chance of getting something wrong and delaying the process. Anyways, I have not yet received the NOA1, but hopefully that will come sometime this week.

I don't really have any questions or concerns for the time being, so I will probably just continue to lurk here for a while unless a question pops up that I can't find an answer to. I will make updates on here as they come to me. Take care, everyone!
