Hello everyone! I started this forum for people that will be looking into and filing a I-129F application for their same sex partners. I have to say that VisaJourney.com is an extremely helpful websit

I really appreciate the Biology lesson Paul Elizabeth, but this is completely off subject. If you have nothing about K-1 Visas or I-129F to post please keep your comments to yourself.

Does anyone know how many same sex couples have filed for a K-1since the fall of DOMA? It seems as if there are only a dozen or so using visa journey? I would think there would be thousands, but could be wrong. It's awesome we are a part of history.

I don't know but it's a good question. It is pretty awesome to be a part of this. DOMA Project might have some statistics.

I hope you are not waiting for Juarez to send you the appt letter.... check the NVC system, if it says ready for interview, go ahead and pay the fee fill the DS160 and schedule the appointment.. you can pick up the appt letter at the consulate I believe they open at 6:30 am.... you will need it for your medical exam... so maybe one day to pick up appt letter and fingerprints and medical check and the next day interview.... let me know... good luck!!! congratssss

How about the question of how many same-sex couples filing for K-1 visas versus those doing AOS (adjustment of status) in the US? Those in exile outside of the US trying to reunite and come to the US versus those undergoing deportation or expiring temporary visas inside the US?

Check my timeline for K-1 visa & AOS details

Just wanted to tell people that there's another couple out there who's at the interview stage. I'm the petitioner; the beneficiary's interview (Naples embassy) is scheduled for about two weeks from today (November 20.) Things have progressed very rapidly since the petition left the NVC, almost so much so that despite preparing and reading about what's required we were slightly caught off guard! It's still a good thing though, of course.

It's kind of crazy that this is actually happening.

As I said, everything crossable IS crossed!

And yeah, absolutely, either in WilMa or SoBe!

We're doing great, waiting for NVC to give us our NPL case number so that we can go ahead and try to get an interview date!

We sent them an email today, and as soon as next Monday, if they haven't answered, we will start calling.

Looking forward to seeing your updated timeline soon!!!
