Hi, I was hoping to start a separate forum for RPCVs who are married to host country nationals and are resettling in the US. I am RPCV Nicaragua 2008-2011 and my husband, who is Nica, came here on a K1 visa and we got married in November. We are just hoping to make connections with other RPCVs and share some experiences, let me know if anyone has interest!

I almost went into the Peace Corps (was only waiting for placement) but dropped it to come live with my fiancé. I couldn't stand the thought of being far from him for those 27 months. Would still love to do it... Maybe with my fiancé in tow after we get married.

El destino me ha unido a vos.

Hi!

I'm late to the forum.

I'm a RPCV Kyrgyzstan 2010-2012.

I married my Kyrgyz husband in late Jan 2013 in Turkey. He is still in Kyrgyzstan and we are waiting for approval of our I-130. I heard he would have to do the interview in Turkey were we got married and not in Kyrgyzstan where he lives. Does anyone know if this is true?

Timeline

3/1/2013 Mailed I-130 via FedEx

3/4/2013 Arrived at Chicago Field Office

3/7/2013 Email/text confirmation- I-130 accepted & sent for processing

Best of Luck,

Sarah
