Hey guys,

In September 2015 I submitted an application for a Visa K1 for my girlfriend, (lesbian coupke)and we got approved today Feb 17, 2016. I would like to thanks this site Visa Journey and all the members for sharing information and giving advice. If it wasn't for this site I would've been lost. I was able to download all my forms from the site, I don't have words to describe how grateful I am.

Our interview was at 7am, we got there early and didn't have to wait much to be called at the window. The lady asked us to give our names and addresses, how long we have been dating, and about my previous marriage and my girls marriage past status. Then we were told to sit and wait, that took like an hour and half.

When called for the 2nd time we went to a different window, different person, acually 2 people, we got sword at the window and our interview started there lol

Questions we were asked:

Consul: when did you guys met? Date?

How long you have been dating?

Us: gave date and online dating site,

Consul: both asked repeat the name?

Consul: how Long did you stayed on your first trip? And did you stayed with family?

Consul:( to my girl) when did you met your girlfriends daughter?

And that was the end of the interview, she smiled and said Congratulations your Visa has been approved. My girl screamed haha drama queen lol, and we wanted to kiss but knew we couldn't do that in public since there were children in the premises and we respect them. So we just kissed in the cheek. Happy couple, thanks to President Obama whom gave us Gay couples the opportunity to share the same benefits as heterosexual couples, we are all equal we love, cry, work, pay taxes, etc just like everyone else. Thanks once again to Vsa Journey. Muahzzz

Congrats! It makes me happy to see another same sex couple approved! I have to admit I've had a few thoughts that I might cause us potential problems depending on the interviewing officer but reading this makes me very hopeful!

I wish you and your partner all the best for your wonderful future together!

I felt the same way I was praying that it wasn't somebody hard core religious, or homophobic. Just send alot of pictures of you and your partner, with friends, family, no kissing pictures, or in bed pictures, you don't know who will get your file and might get ofended. Good luck.
