Returned with my fiancee' on Sunday, She's with me now here in Texas, and its been a dream come true, got our marriage license and will soon make it official and then hopefully with in the next 2 months start the adjustment of status.

[Jaime & Aisha 46]

Fiancé has been in Texas with me for a week and we love every minute of it.

I had to go back to work soon after we got here but we spent a month together before we flew here. We are signing papers at the courthouse for wedding next week????

Fantastic!!!! I know what you are feeling

We did the social security office today, after the OB/GYN visit. It is awesome, still like a dream to spend the day together. We submitted the AOS package today, overnight to Chicago. Then I helped her color her hair a wild color; I sprayed my hair purple....it was a fun day.

My fiance had his interview yesterday and he was approved!

I think I'm one of the last to get the visa - our case was ready for interview on Jan 26th, but we were traveling together outside of his country for several months, so we scheduled the interview for after he got back.

We are getting married on August 20th in Sedona, Arizona, an outdoor wedding on the red rocks. I just bought my fiance's ticket to fly here on August 10th. Didn't wait to have the visa in hand as recommended, but since the ticket is for almost three months from now I feel pretty confident we'll be ok.

Congratulations to everyone on here who has finished the process. Love hearing all the lovely wedding stories. I can't wait to have my fiance here.

Wow!!! Congratulations

Any story to tell about the interview day?

There's still some of us out there. No visa yet. My fiance has his interview in London June 17th. He will be moving here to Seattle in August. I just spent 10 days in England and he was here in February. So we have had some time together. I think there are still a few more waiting for visas.

Engineering law---diamonds are created with pressure and time.

And

All things are possible with enough money, and time.

Somehow these mean something in the context of waiting for the visa....

Fiancés passport status changed to ready for pickup ?????

Thank you! His passport is currently in transit and should arrive in his town tomorrow.

Interview day ... well, having micro-managed the whole process, it was hard to let go and let my fiance take care of all of the certificates, medical etc in Peru without being there to "supervise". I wanted to call him the night before the interview, but he went to bed before I could call, so I didn't get to frantically go over all the documents with him once more and make sure he had everything. I'm sure he did that on purpose :D

That meant that I was very anxious the next day, and was nervously waiting to hear from him for several hours, and when he finally called this is how the conversation went

Me: "SO??"

Him: Well I got up this morning and had eggs, and then I took the bus to the embassy - people say you can't take the bus, but you know what, I figured it out. I had to change several times but it was so much cheaper than a taxi

Me: But WHAT HAPPENED?

Him: So then I arrived at the embassy and waited in line. There were so many people there, I couldn't believe it ...

Me: AND?

Him: So then I finally got in, and I went up to this window, and gave these papers ...

:D etc etc etc while I was getting increasingly frantic ... Of course I knew he was only joking with me because we had been approved, but I still just REALLY needed to hear it!

Honestly, the best part has been seeing how excited he is for us to be starting our life in the US after several years in Peru, and having him tell me that he can't wait for me to be his wife. He played it pretty cool during the visa process as he was worried the visa wouldn't go through and was afraid of disappointment, but now he's over the moon. Just counting down the days until he comes (77 more to go)!

Congrats on your Aisha's pregnancy and glad to hear everything is going so well.

What a joker. That is so funny how he played you. Obviously he knows the buttons already, get ready for a wonderful life.

I know the need of being in complete control over this process. Well the need and actually being are two different items. I heard it said being in control in anything in life is only an allusion for the insane. You're hubby to be is the sane one, we are the insane

Remember to document, or video document this story. it is part of the new family tales to tell generations from now when some distant grand --- child is drawing up the family tree.

It's good to have his laid-back, positive attitude to balance out my type-A anxiety ... if he were like me, we would work ourselves up into a frenzy.

He is the documenter and I know he'll have his GoPro rolling from the second he lands here. I've already banned him from bringing it to the wedding as I told him I'd like to be looking at his face, not just the camera. You're going to have quite a tale to tell yourself - and some major documenting to start in a few months!

You're a newer person on this post. So not privy to all the stories of our adventure through the black forest of "visajourney" along the path of broken glass as we walked barefooted. The stories we have are indeed wonderous to the point of being near fanciful, even to myself who experienced each of them along the path.

I have been keeping a video diary (mindlog) since the beginning of this torturous venture for the historical significance of our family, although I didn't really expect there to be a 'new' addition....this indeed is a story in itself, but one left to the private journal and those who come after me many years down the line.

Our great overseer "Greenbaum" has been the driver, and ever so patient (not always but most of the time) with us green horns.

I'm the camera guy too, so I know how he feels. Make sure to compromise, and allow him the ability to use a pen camera (in his pocket) to capture you in the way he sees you at that moment. It will make him happy to view 25 years from now

PS--I've been told I can't take the camera into the delivery room. And perhaps I won't be allowed in as well, as I have shown a lack of fortitude with blood. The threat is there to ban me

I couldn't see my case numbers until about 2 weeks after I initially got them. Just need some patience.

MSC = Missouri Service Center

We think we are the last November filers to get the news! After six months and 4 days our noa 2 was approved!! We have no idea why our case took so much longer and it's been a horrible wait.

I know our case now goes to Nvc. How long until we can schedule the interview? It's been so long that I can't recall what happens next! She is near London. How long did it take people to get their interviews? As you can imagine, we are tired of waiting And want to get this thing done!!

FINALLY!!! Wow I'm sorry it took so long!

Why would you wait for your K-1 to expire when the number one rule is you should get married before your Visa has expired. You will for sure have a problem. You might need to get married in court as early as you can then get married again with all your relatives. I strongly suggest for you to follow.

do not waste all the effort and money you have invested for this journey.
