I've visited him for nearly two weeks and then 3 weeks. Long enough to know he hogs the bed and the covers, loves socks, sleeps halfway UP the headboard on the bed, isn't coherant until he has had coffee, loves cheese on everything, has huge hands, has alot of hair on his head, is insanely funny, adores his cat, can spend two hours shopping in Wal-Mart...oh and that he loves me unconditionally.

We spent time together over six years...about 2 months per year...so about a year I guess??

We did DCF, but it's complicated...we were apart, yes, just because I had to go to AUstralia to file...

Finally finished with immigration in 2012!

We lived together for 7 months until my visa ran out and I moved back to the States.

After that I'd go back to visit my fiance whenever school wasn't in session (I'm a teacher).

When I was there last summer we started getting the paperwork together and mailed out the petition in September.

Now we'll see each other again for the interview....

I haven't seen him since we filed, but he's going to come here for a week over New Year's, and I'll probably go there for two and a bit in March (for the interview.)

Prior to filing, we've probably spent between four and five months together, in nine visits spread out over 2.5 years.

We were not able to be together during the visa process (I wish). Only spent 2 weeks together face to face (one trip)before he came over on the K1 visa. I have no problem admitting that since we have been happily married for over 2 years. We really wished we could have spent more time together before he got the visa(just cuz we missed eachother), but it was not financially possible.

Married since 9-18-04(All K1 visa & GC details in timeline.)
