Hey VJ,

We just wanted to give a gigantic "thank you" to the admins, moderators, and active contributors to this wonderful site. My fiance is finally home after what felt like an eternity, and without your help, it may have taken much, much longer.

To everyone who's just starting their own journey, hang in there, and use this site to it's absolute potential. It has mountains of useful information, and really helped Amanda and I prepare, compile, and submit a successful (RFE Free) a I-129F.

To everyone who's already completed their journey, yet continue to post, a huge thank you. Your experience in an area that is vastly unknown to everyone, is priceless. Keep it up... there's plenty more people madly in love, separated by continents, who need your help.

Much love from Matthew and Amanda!

Congratulations!!!

And I absolutely agree with you- This site has played a huge role in my holding on to my sanity.

In a process that basically involves you waiting for months on end, or then trying to struggle through confusing and seemingly endless forms, the support system this site has provided for people like me is incredible.

You all are amazing, for taking time out of your lives to share your knowledge and experiences.
