Same here! Matthew is much more patient and laid back. He's the one who keeps my sanity in check with all this waiting.

Aww Thank goodness for FT it's certainly a great help we've even played battleships together lol. Such good news to hear you are seeing them soon. I fly out in 23 days and hopefully stay until Jan 5th. So for us having an in between countdown hopefully helps with waiting for the long game. 

Still I can't wait until the day we don't have to say goodbye anymore ...I keep walking through airport security to go back to the UK looking like an extra band member of Kiss! ...waterproof mascara...ha 

i cry every time... every.single.time

Try not to worry about it too much. Let's just try to enjoy the little thoughts and fantasies of being with our significant other when it's finally our time.

Last time I was able to hold it in until after I got through airport security

 

I'm going to try not cry this time because I know that soon enough we'll have the K-1 visa and after I get through POE that will be the beginning for a complete us .

I check my flight itinerary with Delta everyday (sometimes twice a day) just to see that countdown in days until my flight.

When they  changed it to September I was happy for a sec. On one hand I was happy that I will be with him soon. On the other I was kinda little sad cause it means "sh*t"is getting real.

i.e. leaving my job, leaving Germany, leaving everything I have here behind and start everything from scratch.

 

Rght now I am preparing myself for the real excitement and adventures coming in new " my will be home" 

 

💪💪💪

I'm very excited when I saw that it's already month of September that they are processing but then it's not true so I was like.  Woooh.  I hope there's miracle and they will expedite those months that waited for too long.  It's been two months that I haven't seen Dom and it makes me sad everyday. more months to wait.  But still hoping for the best. 💪💪💪

anyone else whos an October filer still hoping on being with their other half in May/June 2018 :(?

Well based on my time line and the rate they're going we should have our approvals by April so late May or June I feel like is a possibility. I really hope they speed up a bit though because his parents are coming to visit me the first two weeks in May and he wants to come over with them so for them to be here while we get married would be ideal if not he'll just have to go right back to do his interview and turn around to come again. Either way I think it's possible. Fingers crossed for March approvals!

When do you let your employer know about the process? 

Is there anyone else who is moving with kids?

It's up you when you wish to let your employer know about your situation. Personally, I will just be providing a 2weeks - month's notice (depending on when I get a flight that won't cost an arm and a leg) that I will be leaving and only a select few will be made aware of why exactly.

 

I don't have kids but many persons have moved with kids and have used the the K-2 visa for their kids. Is there anything specific you're curious about?

My employer knows ....most of my co workers start their calls to me with "any news yet"

I'm so rubbish at keeping secrets 🙊

I  can imagine some employers would be less so. If you have concerns then check your employment contract and give them the notice required.
