I'm not really a newbie.. joined this site about a month ago but just found out there's an introduction section. I met Phon on facebook back in May 2010 and started our relationship then finally met in person in the beginning of May 2011. Spent almost 1 month w/ him in Thailand. Filed K1-Visa toward the end of June. It's been more than 4 months since the last time we saw each other. This process is very tough for both of us. Thanks to VJ for letting express how I feel about this long process.... and makes me feel better than I'm not going through this alone! :luv:

I am sure that most of us on this site have experienced similar emotions throughout the immigration process. This is not a journey for the faint of heart but stay strong and be patient and you will cross the finish line together. Good luck!:thumbs:

I'm thinking of getting another part time job but my fiance told me not to. Since our time difference won't let us talk to each other that much.. if i get another job then no communication time.. If he gets here, I might want to take some time off as well!!! hehehe if I think positive thoughts, I'm happy.. but when i think about how long this process is, i'm getting moody! haah

Hello Joonphon, welcome to VJ!

Thank you!

I'm a supervisor at night on my main job, so since he is 6 hours ahead it allows me the luxury of calling him or using messenger on my phone

My translation doesn't make too much sense... My fiance would have translated this better since he grew up in Thailand... You're right about how touching it is... When I first heard it.. I was like "omg! i have to play this song at my wedding!" heheehhe when are you sending in your application? you have no timeline..

I'm a supervisor at night on my main job, so since he is 6 hours ahead it allows me the luxury of calling him or using messenger on my phone

Gah.. that's nice! I work regular shifts.. :(

Welcome to VJ and good luck with the process! :D

Thank you! You too! :yes:

But it gets worth if we well prepared.. Anyway, if you don't mind, can you tell me what's the title of the song and who sang it? innocent.gif

The song title is เพลงของเธอ ( Pleng Kaung Tur) by ปาน ธนพร (Parn Tanaporn) She's one of the best Thai singers... has amazing voice!
