It doesn't have to be 'the foreign fiance', if I'm right in thinking it stands for the (very ridiculous-sounding) 'significant other',

It's 'DH' that I can't work out...

2005 - We met

2006 - Filed I-129F

2007 - K-1 issued, moved to US, completed AOS (a busy year, immigration-wise)

2009 - Conditions lifted

2010 - Will be naturalising. Buh-bye, USCIS! smile.png

The DH thing took me awhile...it's for Dear Husband.

I can't stand using either, so I end up just refering to him as homeboy, which probably sounds equally as silly.

usually an abbreviation would actually contain the letters in it, so where would the S come from???

Don't worry, good question.

Any other abbreviations? This could be a good thread to help others.

If SO stands for 'Significant Other', whats OP, and maybe I1 for 'Insignificant One' would be more appropriate, instead of OP??? :devil:
