I'm a 27 year old from Florida my boyfriend of 2 years is from England. We are planning to start the process for a K1 visa before the end of 2015, so I imagine I will be around a lot as I have a lot of questions! Also would be nice to get to know those who are going through or have finished the process and can relate to the struggles of an international long distance relationship. :)

Welcome to the forum.

There are many of us that have gone through the "international long distance relationship USCIS/DOS shuffle." Check out some time lines to get more information. We are still here, and can bear witness to it.

Good luck on your immigration journey.

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)
