Aloha and Hello too all the wonderful and helpful members of the VJ forums, me and my lovely fiancee' have been researching the K1 visa process since the middle of June (when i proposed too her). We both did lots of research on and off the internet, and found LOTS of BAD INFO from "Visa Websites" and poor word of mouth from people who are only in relationships of convienence. We found VJ back in Mid-July, and ever since have made this site our PRIMARY MEANS OF LEGITIMATE INFO on the k1 visa process. I wish we could thank every single memeber that has helped us by posting info, guides, their own experiences, ups and down, and so much more. Since that would take as long as an NOA2, we want to give a general "Salamat & Mahalo" to all who have, who are, and who will help us on our journey.

We are VERY PROUD to say that the i-129f petition has been sent on its way as of TODAY!!! We hope and pray that it will be a smooth process, but we also realize that there is UNAVOIDABLE WAITING due to the sheer number of petitions. We will be on the forums daily, seeing how everyone else is doing, and also updating our own status. 2012 was a LIFE CHANGING YEAR for us both, 2013 will be OUR YEAR, God Bless.

Joy and Scott

Best wishes! (for you and me both!) I just got my NOA1 yesterday, so I'm only 10 days or so ahead of you, but for Japan.

Let's hope the visa centers are feeling productive this year.
