Hello Everybody!

My fiancee and I just filed for our K-1 and I'm glad we found this website first! It has been MORE than helpful! Needless to say, long distance relationships can be stressful enough. Add to that a drawn out process full of good ol' fashioned US red tape and you have a recipe for some grey hair.... (ok, more grey hair than before...)

Anyway, just wanted to say Hi and that I'm looking forward to the company as we journey through this process to our ultimate goal.

Hey guys,

Welcome to Visa Journey! If you have any question regarding your application or so, don't hesitate to ask. I'm also from Spain and it's always very nice to have somebody to ask questions during this process. Good luck!
