Hello, VisaJourney community!

I'm not terribly new as I joined in November of 2011.

But I haven't taken time to introduce myself as I've been focused solely on getting my initial I-130 paperwork compiled and sent. Which, I'm happy to say, was sent out mere minutes ago!

I met my wife through her cousin who is a friend/coworker of 10 years. We met in June of 2011 and finally met in person as well as married in March of 2012.

I can't express how important VJ has been for me. I've spent hours reading and understanding the process and have come to understand it to a good extent (though I still have questions of my own!).

VJ has made nearly every worry/concern I've had disappear.

I'm looking forward to using VJ as a resource though the coming stages of my wife's journey to the United States.

I'm also looking forward to becoming a more noticed and helpful member of the VJ community. After all, sharing one's experiences with this process in order to make it easier for someone new to it is what VJ is all about.

June 16, 2011: Met online (Skype) for the first time.
July 27, 2011: Officially a couple/engaged.
March 19, 2012: Met in-person for the first time.
March 23, 2012: Wedding!
