Hello David and welcome to VJ!

I would advise you to read the guides. Make sure you understand the differences between the K1 and the CR 1 visa (fiancee vs. spouse). The latter is cheaper...

Best wishes! (F)

Thank you Jazzomine and you Aztec. I have read the guides but i do have a question..Did anyone here meet through a dating site? That's not the same as marriage broker,right? I just don't want any problem down the road after i file my I-129f. I will be sending it off on friday, please help.

It has been discussed in other VJ posts before and members have opined that meeting through a dating site IS NOT the same as a marriage broker. Actually, many people seem to meet their fiance(e)s and spouses through websites.
