Hello everyone! :)

My K1 visa was approved on Tuesday May 1st, and I still feel like I am walking on air, it all feels so surreal, I keep thinking did that really happen, did I really hear the words "visa approved"....

After all the long months of waiting, 322 days to be exact, we have our approval, I can go home to the man I love, finally!

Congratulations to all those who have had recent approvals, we all made it!

To everyone enduring the wait, hold onto your hope, your day will come,you will get to the day of your approval, you will win out.

Keep your hope alive :thumbs:

I wish to thank all those who offered words of wisdom and advice here on VJ, what a wealth of information to be found, a light somewhere along the seemingly endless journey.

I am going home!!!! Yes, yes, yes :yes::dancing:
