Congrats!

I have one question though, your profile says you filed for K-1, but you said you called your "hubby"? Is he your fiancee or husband? I saw here that people had problems on K-1 visas if they called each other husband/wife and that petitions were declined because CO at the Embassy thought the couple was married and filed incorrectly. :/
