Hi All-

On this very day one year ago, I was driving to Chicago to file for my Indian Visa for a business trip that changed my life and where I met the man of my dreams whom I will marry in less than 10 months. Today, I filed the I-129F petition in the mail for a K-1 Visa for my Indian fiance. Today, I committed to a new chapter in my life...Our visa journey "officially" begins! Now I get to hurry up and...wait! Praying that the approval comes sooner than later!!

ha ha ha. Who doesn't want being optimistic,tongue.gif. How about you? Haven't you tell your fiance(e) that would getting married less than 9 months, maybe? Positive thoughts always the best way to achieve our dreams. Stimulate our subconscious to get what we want,yes.gif. But I know that you are just being funny here and that's we need.laughing.gif

positivity and a sense of humour is the only way to get through this whole process and when my fiance asks if i think i will be there in january i always say "yes i think it is possible" and i will still be saying that until january 31st lol.
