Hello Sabrina, My Fiance & I are just starting this process, I am hopefull that you can offer some advice, I may have some questions..

That is what this whole website is for.

You will be better to read the guides posted at the top of the page, then post your own threads to get advice from multiples sources rather than to ask (1) specific person that may have been in a completely different situation than you. Best of luck on your journey.
