My love just called and the visas are IN HIS HANDS!! So thrilled that this part of the journey is so close to being O-V-E-R!! Thursday, April 24th my Fiance and his daughter will FINALLY BE HERE!!!!!!!

2-weeks and ONE day left!!

Crazy thing is the rest of the painstaking journey is now just a distant memory. Worth EVERY moment to be where we are finally at today....and in the super-near future!!

So to those still in the dark depths of the process, hang on! The sun will be shining for you soon and when it does, no you will not forget the darkness, BUT the sunlight will warm your soul and lead you to much better days ahead!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Edited by Enigma23

~ Jan ??,2013 ~ Service Center ~ Vermont I-129F Packet sent

NOTE: Actual sent date unknown due to lawyer negligence - I delivered ALLForms and PAID Lawyer on Nov 7, 2012 - Lawyer kept saying he sent the packet and USCIS must have lost it. When in reality he failed to send the package and only a new copy to USCIS after I made a legal written demand giving him 10 days to perform or return ALL monies paid to him, due to "non-performance".

(IMO it's better to save your money for visits to or from your Fiancé and just fill it out yourself using the K-1 Guide on VJ and Senior Members... They Rock!!!)
