No thanks to CSC delays, we lost track of my Fiance's passport validity dates.

As the Consular Section was preparing to "place" the visa, they discovered that she was 1 week short of the 6 month minimum validity requirement.

Not a major delay, 5 days worst case... Although I thought I would see her Friday. :(

With the flurry of activity surrounding the K-1 or K-3 process, it is an easy item to overlook.

The Advice: Plan for success and keep track of passport expiration dates!!

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.
