How many times have you visited your fiance?

[Robert&Karen 264]

I'm going back in 8 days to visit her for 6 days. While a plane ticket costs money, it turns out I can ship plenty of stuff back with me for free as excess baggage, and it comes out that my trip is actually CHEAPER than postage for the items, plus we get 6 days together!

[Misha & Ira 113]

Three times so far this year...with a 4th trip schedule in three weeks.

[DeeDee&Sam 68]

We believe that pictures of you together with the non-USC family is helpful too.

yes that is true. however, me and my fiance mostly spent time togheter alone. im not close to my family, we've been to my place few times but there were no pictures. the ones that manage to have pictures with the non usc family are lucky. we're not antisocial lol, just like to keep all the time for ourselves, yes selfish i know

We are new on this Journey but we are willing to do and wait as long as it takes. Any suggestions, advice, answers are a blessing as we begin this Journey together... Thanks in advance for the response!

Here's Our Story... Morocco LOVES Colombia

We meet on the once popular Myspace! From all those people online we found each other with a click on the browse button; a sec would have made a difference of never meeting but we both believe it was meant to be... Love at first "site" We have talked since Aug, 2007... Because of our age at the time and our focus on school, we kept our relationship long distance. It was the only thing we could do and I also lost my Father. For those reasons we have never been able to meet in person but... I became a U.S. Citizen I am from Colombia and he is Moroccan but currently living in the U.K. now on a Student Visa for 2 years. We never lost touch and we have been glued to the computer for each other ever since and have grown closer and closer. Before anything we are best friends and he is a blessing in my life. On Aug, 2011 we decided to take our relationship to another level and we have decided to get married. Now 26 he 25. I am currently waiting on my U.S. Passport and I plan to travel to the U.K. and get married with him there. We have kept records of messages since 2007, pictures, money transfers, gifts, letters, and I'm currently having trouble getting my phone records of him calling me long distance with my Metro phone... :(IF THERE ARE OTHER WAYS OF OBTAINING THESE RECORDS PLEASE SHARE SUGGESTIONS...) TNK He's talked to my Mother and Family through Skype and asked for my hand in marriage and recorded that meeting and pictures of that moment. We plan to record the first time we meet at the airport and also of course the formal proposal in person, plus pictures with dates !!! AND The civil marriage it's self as proof for (K-3 or CR-1)... if that is the best route for us to take instead of the (K-1)? I also read that letters from friends and relatives with approving statements and supporting our relationship once in the interview process will help?! Do you guys know if the letters have to be typed or hand written and or notarized?

1) I'm not sure what is best for our situation. He's been living in the U.K. for 2 years on a student visa, will that favor us in any kind of way?

2) I think that asking for him as a Fiance (K-1) would be a little bit more difficult or take longer? Since we haven't met each other yet but will meet in Nov 11 and I will stay with him for like 3-4 months, we are really considering getting married in the U.K. instead thinking this will be more beneficial in our case because it might be the only time in a while that we can meet again... Does this mean I have to wait a while to file for him after we meet or I can file right away...?

(K-3)

3) I want to know when we meet in the U.K. get married and I'm planning on staying with him for like 3-4 months there; will that will be enough time to apply for him as my spouse (there at the U.S. Embassy) ? or I need to come back here and have to file from the State of Georgia?

4) Will he have to leave the U.K. and go to Morocco at any point since he is there in school and can lose his visa and not finish school or with the K-3 or CR-1 has the option of interviewing in the U.K?

WE JUST WANT THE FASTEST WAY POSSIBLE AND THE ONE THAT MIGHT MAKE US WAIT A LIL LONGER FOR HIS LEGAL STATUS TO CHANGE BUT WILL ALLOW US TO BE TOGETHER IN THE PROCESS... DON'T WE ALL WANT THAT!

GOD BLESS!

THANK YOU!

HERE WE GO!

I got my visawe're just trying to figure out the best thing for us after marriage and making sure we know and understand all the procedures to save time. It's good to ask questions and not wait till last minute you know..

Thank you. God bless.

You said you did not have your passport yet.

[VisaParaUnSueno 9]

Sorry I was thinking at the time when I was waiting for it didn't mean to word it like that. But yes I have my passport, now I got my visa with the help of World Bridge Visa/UK Border Agency that is why I plan to go in November just right around the corner! Thank you for the advice! God Bless.

[GringoD 33]

Personally ... if you've only met once, I think .... IT'S NOT ENOUGH, AND YOU SHOULD BE DENIED A VISA.

HTF can you substantiate a concrete relationship, when you've only met just once in real life???

What a bunch of hogwash.

[sea-town 5]

more times than i can count, I am in philippines now with her. sure will be glad when all the paper work is done tired of so much flying

[The Nature Boy 4,224]

I guess every case is different. I only visited once, and I don't think this is going to be an issue. I know many that married women from the Philippines that only visited once. However every embassy can be a little different. The only legal requirement is 1 time in two years, and USICS cleared my K-1 with no problem.

The reason I only visited once is not because of funds, that is not an issue at all, it is time away from work. I am the manger of a Mid- size manufacturing operation and I just can't go away for 2 and three week spans. The time I went I left on a Thursday and flew back on Saturday of the next week and that is the longest I have ever been away.. I figured that even after filling the k-1 we still had 6-8 months more to get to know each other and you could stop it at any point. Also once they arrive you have 90 days, which in all total is well over a year since first contact. Yes I would marry a stateside woman after knowing her a year.

It don't care if you meet someone online tomorrow and go visit within 2 weeks, it still is going to take you 6-8 months to get them here.and you have 3 months after that, so very little likely hood you will know someone less than a year before you get married.

Just curious, what kind of jobs do many of you have that you can take several 3 week periods off during the course of a year or so ?

I am a teacher, so I have summers off. However, being a teacher, I don't have a lot of money, either. LOL. So it is a matter of living lean.
