Well this is my second time around for K1

[True Love at Last 15]

We hello to all and Salamu alaikum ....I have been on VJ since 2005...To properly introduce myself I thought I might give a short background in hopes for good advice in the future. I am a USC and I was married to another USC when I was 16 back in 1996. We were married for 5 years and divorced after being separated for another 5 years(in 2005). We have a 15 year old son together.

I found a man online by chance via yahoo messenger (Islamic Chat Room)in December 2004, we fell in love and we applied for a K1 - Egypt - June 2005. He was approved, moved to the US in December 2005 and we were married for 6 years. We are almost finished with our divorce process and he has already become a USC. We have a lovely daughter together and there are no hard feelings.

While not looking for love I found my true soulmate in an Yahoo Islamic chat room back in November of 2011. We have been inseparable ever since that first talk. I have visited him over 3 times in Egypt over the last six months and we are officially engaged. My plan is to apply for the K1 visa again and pray for a speedy process. I am not uneducated so I know exactly what I am putting myself through again, but I simply cannot live my life without this wonderful man. We are only 1 year in age difference and he has never been married before. As stated above I have been married twice for lengthy periods of time and with legitimate reasons for the marriages to have ended. I have read about others in my similar situation and am asking advice and tips that may help us when we are able to finally file our K1. I have two children and my family is looking forward to having my Fiance here with us to complete our lives together. I have a great job so support will not be an issue.

I know there are mixed opinions about multi K1 visas but honestly I did not truly plan on putting myself through this process again but when you stumble across a man who fits every dream that you have ever prayed for its hard not to give it everything you have. My heart aches without him and my children have grown to know him and love him dearly. He is kind, respectable and has treated me and shown me what real love feels like. We are of the same religion and share many of the same goals. Anyway my question is actually for advice on those who have been in this similar situation and if you have any special advice for us to help us avoid any mistakes.

We have many boarding passes, passport stamps, receipts of spending time together, photographs with family and friends in Egypt. Screen shots of us online with my children and family, text messages everyday, emails back and fourth, cards and love letters from both, and more. We are hoping to send off the K1 in early July as we are gathering all required documents. We know that we are looking at at least a 8 month wait.

I look forward to hearing from you all and I appreciate your advice in advance. Thank you for your time.

Salam, Thank you....Egyptian True Love At Last :-)

Will you be free to marry by the time you file your I-129F petition?

I have no advice, but I wish you well on ur journey!!!

Make sure you are legally able to marry when you file your petition. Some states have laws that require people to wait a certain amount of time after a divorce before getting married again.

Yes of course, just waiting for my final decree.

Well oddly enough I was separated for over 5 years before I divorced my first husband and I filed barley a month after the final decree.

My second husband and I have been separated for quite some time and Im only waiting on the final decree. I don't see any problem with the timing, I didn't plan on falling in love again but I am so very blessed to have found a wonderful man.

Thanks for the advice, I've been on VJ since 2005 so I know some have been in my situation and had no problems. I have followed everything "legal" after all I am a Legal Assistant ;-) Just wanted to refresh myself with the process and see if anyone had any new advice for this situation.

Thank you for all the replies. I'm wishing you all the best and hoping that this is my last trip down the isle, God Willing.

How about CR1 instead of K1? It will relieve your anxiety and won't take much longer than K1.
