Now that a lot of us are getting our interview approvals that means we are so much closer to our wedding days! Trying to plan our wedding has been a nice break from all the stress of filing paperwork for the government. How are all of your wedding day plans coming along?

Our wedding day is set for this Friday on the 11th! I am so excited and feeling so relieved now that our hard work in this has paid off. We made it! A lot of our finances are being invested in the immigration process so we are just having a small civil service ceremony at the courthouse with just family.

Alex and I are getting married on November 13th aboard a Hornblower yacht that will sail the San Diego Bay. I think we will have about 40 guests. I am leaving here probably on the 3rd. Can't wait to finally be with him.

Hi all!! Just got back from Uruguay with my fiancé yesterday. POE was Miami. We waited in the visitors line for about 30 minutes before finally talking to the Immigration officer. I handed him my passport first and he stamped it fairly quickly. I informed him that my fiancé was traveling with me on a K1 and he asked me "how did you guys meet?" I just smiled and briefly summed up how we met. He then smiled and said congratulations. He took my fiancé's passport, asked her a couple of questions in Spanish and then asked us if we had the K1 Visa package. I handed the package to him and so he took both the package and my fiancés passport and then told us to wait by the wall until someone came for us. After about 2 minutes of waiting another officer came out and called my fiancé's name and told her to follow him. I then started to walk through the security doors behind both my fiancé and the officer when he turned around and asked me "who are you?" I responded "I am her fiancé". He didn't even blink and just turned around walked us through into a secure waiting area where other travelers were also waiting. He told us to find a seat and wait and walked away with both my fiancé's passport and the K1 package. After about 15 minutes another officer came out, called me by name and and then told us were were all set to go. He handed my fiancé's passport back to me and stressed the importance of getting married within 90 days and gave us instructions on getting in contact with immigration and apply for AOS once we did so. He then led us through another set of doors and off we went. So overall it was super easy. We were both like.. "That's it?" Granted we got in at 4:30 am, so its possible they were less busy or something.. Anyhow needless to say, we are now both back in the states and super happy!! The process is gruesome but wow, most certainly worth it. It was surreal seeing my fiancé sitting in the passenger seat of my car. Our cheeks hurt from all the smiling we did yesterday haha!! God is good! Looking back, we both agree that we wouldn't want everything that happened to have happened any other way..

I am praying for the rest of you and know God will see you all through! Making it through this process beings worlds apart is miracle and can totally relate how you all feel at every stage of this process.

Thank you all for the well wishes!

We got our visa about a week after the interview just about. I booked our flights prior to our interview actually lol. I don't recommend it because we had some set backs (needed additional paperwork for the embassy) but somehow everything still worked out without any changes needed. You should be fine coming in through Miami. You should give yourself a good cushion of time between POE and connecting flight.

Kim & Jules so glad to hear that all has gone well.

My POE will be LA, then onto Orlando. It's starting to feel a bit surreal that the wait is nearly over. We're getting married over thanksgiving week, at home at my in laws with his sister performing the ceremony, then following it up with a bigger wedding in the summer next year. I can't wait!
