I searched for "members in the same city" and found this thread. I am in Boston, MA and it would be great to be friends with fellow VJ'ers in the same area.

I wonder if there can be a regional subforum (e.g. Northeast > MA/NH/ME, etc., Southwest > CA, etc.) created for this in "Moving Here and Your New Life in America". It would be easier to connect with other members while waiting for AOS. :-)

I am (usually) the beneficiary.

Not stupid at all! A group of us in the January 2012 I-129F thread have talked about doing a meet-up once our fiancé(e)s have all arrived in the U.S. http://static-forums.visajourney.com/public/style_emoticons/#EMO_DIR#/good.gif It may be worthwhile to start a thread in the "New Life in America" forum for others to see. I know there are similar thread from VJers looking for people in their new areas.

Caly,

Where are you? Are you near Fredonia?

I'm close to Allegany NY. Hubs says Fredonia is almost as far as Buffalo is to us. Google Maps says it's about 1.5 hours northeast of here.
