I was honestly insulted by the promos for this show. Colin and I met unconventionally, sure. But we have an actual, real relationship. The K-1 was not for us to decide if it was going to work between us. It was the first step in bringing him here so we could spend the rest of our lives together. We have worked very hard to be together. Gone through many tears, frustrations, stomach ulcers and wonderfully happy times to get where we are. I don't like the thought of them trivializing what we have all gone through to be where we are.

It isn't all about lingerie in the kitchen and riding a mechanical bull. It's about working 2 jobs to make enough to support your spouse (just in case), being alone on birthday's and special occasions waiting..., endless mountains of paperwork, thousands of dollars, millions of tears (both happy and sad), RFE's, denials, approvals, interviews, biometric appointments. And in the end... it's about two people who are determined to cut the red tape and prove to the world that they want to spend the rest of their lives driving each other crazy rolleyes.gif

What? You don't have 90 days to make the decision. The decision is supposed to be made well before they other party ever steps foot on the US on their visa. Despite what this misleading show procla

Who would imagine that the network that brought us hits like "Here comes Honey Boo Boo" and "Sex sent me to the ER" would twist up the intent of the K-1 visa?

It would be interesting if the couples on the show that are VJ members would start a thread or comment on how accurate the depiction of the show was on their K1 and their relationship and if they regret signing on for the show. I guarantee many scenes that will be on the show will be staged by the producers and may not be an accurate reflection of what "would" have occurred if the producers were not there. For instance, the they could have put a bug in the ears of the families that they need to be wary that the fiance could be using them for a green card because of x,y,z..,etc. Thus causing more drama than what would have actually occurred.

Looks like they're making a reality tv show out of what each and every one of us K-1 applicants are going through! I am sure they'll embellish the show with 'drama' and other things to make it interesting....

Will anybody try to catch this show?

I probably will out of pure curiosity!

So, that tv show "The 90 Day Fiance" (or something like that), starts tonight. I remember when they were looking on VJ for people to be on it several months ago. Should be interesting...

Ya, couples were chosen based on train-wreck-ability factor.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

Whoa Nelly ! Want NVC Info? see http://www.visajourney.com/wiki/index.php/NVC_Process

Congratulations on your approval ! We All Applaud your accomplishment with Most Wonderful Kissies !

I'm watching it now even though I'm a K3. I did debate doing K1 so this show should be interesting to watch. I hope it isn't extreme cases.
