First, I just want to say thank you to everybody on this site. I have spent many hours reading numerous posts and studying the different guides to learn as much as I can about filing for a fiance visa. I am very thankful that I found this website just about the time that we decided to start the K-1 process. I am also happy to say that today we got our NOA2 (no RFE's!!). :) (It was actually approved on July 15th, but I just got the e-mail and text notification today).

My advice to anyone just starting the process....make sure you read the guide for filing the I-129F...and do EXACTLY what it says. I followed it to the letter...and I had no problems and as I mentioned before...no RFE's. At first, it seemed so overwhelming...but I just worked at it little by little and when I finally sent my packet, I felt confident that I had included everything that was necessary.

I know that this is only the first step and there is still much more to do...but it certainly is a relief to know that we can move on to the next step in the process (Whew....!!) :)

Best wishes to you all in your visa journey!!

Thanks...I'm hoping that everything else moves along smoothly. Matthew has never been to London before...so he's already getting a bit nervous. I keep reading the reviews that others have written about their experiences in London and so far I've been encouraged. I think I'll have him read a few of them and maybe it will calm his anxieties. :)
