All

Firstly to those who found the information I shared useful or informative I am very glad.

Secondly for those who bitched about the content....I don't care.

This is a forum for people to share personal experiences and by their very nature most people's experiences will differ.

I merely shared what has happened to me personally over the last 3 weeks to allow people to hear some of the the pitfalls or occurences that they might encounter

I took the time out to write that for other people's benefit, not mine.

If you dont like what you read I suggest you move on a read something else.

For all those who have agreed with and/or thanked please disregard the above and think twice before trying to help others

With my kindest and fondest regards

Oh Good Lord, you were the who couldn't figure out beforehand that the K1 visa wasn't your one-way-do-not-pass-go-do-not-collect-200-dollars ticket to permanent residency then provided misinformation, thinking that everyone else was as misinformed as you. I concur with TimsDaisy: Get over it. :whistle:

I agree with you guys. Everyone was just objecting to the misinformation, not the fact that you shared your experience...

But telling everyone else what happend to you as the gospel is NOT true.

Not just what the others have said, but it read as if you expected the government to 'tell' you something. Isn't it incumbent upon you and your fiance/e to do the research and figure out what makes the most sense for you as a couple along each step of the process?

If you were smart enough to find this site, I'm surprised that you weren't better prepared on what to expect. Or perhaps you just read enough to get you through the service center and the embassy but didn't look at anything else here?
