So you mean it's harder to get a visa for fiancé in UK than the US? 😱 I couldn't imagine myself getting through a process that is harder than this! This is the hardest situation I've ever been! Lol 😂 

Not necessarily 😉 When we first started talking about getting engaged we looked at her moving over here and I was shocked to learn I had to earn over £18,000 a year

London embassy is one of the easier ones to get your visa interview at so I'm told by other UK posters on here,let's hope they're right lol 😂

3 weeks, 7 weeks...

I haven't had a single paid day of holiday since 2010:)

When my fiance visits me here, I do take 2 weeks off, but it means that I earn two times less than usual in those months.

Well, maybe they're talking about getting a tourist visa. They can be right about that. Wow! £18,000 salary is too much worth! I think for US Fiancé Visa, you only need to earn at least $16,000 per annum but you can get a co-sponsor if you can't provide enough or you can use your assets as income.

 

It's 12:33 am here now but I'm still wide awake! Waiting for June is like a 7 year-old girl counting down the days until her birthday! 😂

I believe for USA sponsor it's currently $20,000 about for our case,not that USCIS count beneficiary savings but I have money tucked away 😀 The moment I wake up till the time I go to bed all I think of is my girl and NOA2 😂😂

Oh I didn't know that. When did they start requiring another semester for Med-Surg? And 2 years is too long! I can't imagine myself waiting for that long unless we transfer to a different state. I'm gonna be in Alaska.

You can always come back here and take a vacation! There's a lot of place to explore here with your family 😁

yeah!I know but i want my Noa2 first🙏🤗

I am still living each day as if I am not leaving but my jobs both give me that security. Although I am stressed. I had an appointment today to renew my birth control prescription(yay she gave me a year of refill so before I leave I will buy out the refills so I can take them with me) and she took my blood pressure and said oh its a bit high have you been stressed lately. I looked at her and said well I work two jobs so I can have extra money because I am currently going through the process of a fiance visa to move to the USA. She said holy cow lots has happened since you were in here last year. LOL So she wants to check my blood pressure again in a month and for me to continue working on losing weight. Sigh that's the hard part. I have not had time to think about losing weight. I eat right but I need more exercise. Luckily on my rare times down I mow the lawn which gives me some. Now if only this rain would stop cause the grass is so long right now.

I hope your blood pressure gets back to normal soon.

I don't know much about high pressure as mine is usually very low, but wish you good luck with that!

Losing weight is more fun when you have company, maybe you could find a friend willing to exercise with you?

I was always close to high anyway because I am quite overweight. I have lost 20 lbs in the last 6 months and kept it off. I know that is not a lot but I tried. I was doing better when I could go to aquafit classes which were so good for me but alas there is no place near me now that has them however there are several places near where my fiance lives. :) I plan on joining a place there and taking aquafit classes. My fiance Chris belongs to a gym(he doesn't go much but should) and he asked how much it would be to add me to his membership plan. We plan on working out together when I get there.

Exercising together is a great idea. We do pilates over Skype every other day. it's hilarious:) And good for us too, I have a sedentary job, and Eric's back is quite unhappy due to the military wear and tear in the past, so we both could use some stretching.

 

Losing 20 lbs is not bad at all, hope you can say good-bye to all the other extra lbs pretty soon:)

I think I need to rephrase my reply. I meant if we're going to have a baby, I would call him NOAH. Lol

 

Planning to have a baby in 2020. We could not afford now that I'm still here. Lol They are too expensive! 😂

Yeah shedding off 20lbs is not bad at all @pajobra it also means you have discipline in exercising and eating healthy. You'll reach your target soon esp when your fiancé is their to give you motivation :) 

I like your idea of doing pilates together on Skype @Eric&Olya. I wish we both have knowledge in doing yoga. The only ridiculous thing my fiancé and I do together online is cooking food LOL
