I have known my husband all my life... he is the son of close family friends... my mum come to the USA as a schoolgirl on an exchange program and stayed with the family of my husbands mom...

I never had any interest in him until I came over to spend time recovering from major surgery at the invitation of his parents... and something just sparked between us...

April 2001, shortly after Easter; I sent her a letter (snail-mail), then received a e-mail with her phone no.

The K-1 really was NOT our original plan (at the time I was on a GC, less than 2 years)--due to other factors, the GC "aged out" so I could apply for naturalisation (which meant "more options"--of which i chose K-1).

2005/07/10 I-129F filed for Pras

2006/10/13 Pras' I-485 interview--APPROVED!

We actually met in person in winter of 2000 in the Czech Republic when we became friends but didn't start dating until summer 2004. We sent just a few emails to each other during the time in between. Then winter 2003 was the time everything changed - our emails got more and more frequent and soon were coming and going on a daily basis. That spring (2004) is when we fell in love... We met again in summer 2004 when I spent 3.5 months in CA, then a short week in February 2005 in Czech Republic and again whole summer in CA later that summer. I came over for a 10-month internship in 2006 which lead to our engagement at Christmas. I could have stayed and file for Adjustment of Status, but the K1 way seemed the more proper way to go. I wanted to see my family and even though we miss each other terribly now, we are looking forward to our future life together :-)

We met then only after a long time, really talked! I moved to his village in 1994 doing volunteer work. I was introduced to him along with hundreds of others. I just saw him in passing for years and we only started to really talk and get to know one another in 1998.
