I have yet to join a Blog. But, I just did. Hello everyone.

My situation is interesting perhaps to some and not to others. But, I am in love with a man in Fiji, and I am a man living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Our state adopted same-sex marriage in December, and so here I am. Beginning the learning process to get the K-1 Visa application submitted.

I have a lot to learn! Old fart is going back to get educated! Yippee!

Hi,

My husband and I just submitted our I-130 petition to get the ball rolling. I'm also from Hawaii and he's in/from Fiji. We're trying to get a CR-1 visa. I know that you're petitioning for a fiancé visa (K1), but I'm pretty sure the petition forms are the same. I was told that the immigration office in Hilo is a great resource and they help answer any questions you have in regards to forms and how you fill them out. Since the visa we're going for would allow him to work right away, its supposedly going to take about 11 months. I believe that the fiancé visa takes a shorter amount of time AND your fiancé will be able to come to the US for at least 3 months. Lucky! I hope I was able to help some.

Take care and I wish you nothing but the best!

Vinaka!

Hala'i
