Hey Everyone!

So happy to have found this website. As I've researched US immigration its been a roller coaster of being excited when I was understand the process and it seemed do-able, to freaking out 5 min later after learning more. This website's wealth of knowledge, all your experiences/stories/advice are SOOO helpful!!!!

Ok sorry for the monologue. I'll wrap it up.

Canadian husband & I (US Citizen) have been married since June 2010 and living in Canada. We are applying to move back to Hawaii (my home). I applied for university Fall 2014 so I need to be back by then!! Here's to hoping my hubby will have a green card by September!

ALL ADVICE WELCOME!!

Mahalo,

Bettina

Hi all, I am a new member here. I am Indonesian and my boyfriend is American and wanting to get married. Does anyone know about this or have any suggestions. How long marriage procedures are in general, what's needed, and how long it will take. It's better to have married in Indonesia or in the US?

I really appreciate your advice. Thank you
