Anyone else hit a point where they want time to both fly by and slow down?

 

I want to be with my fiancé and am super excited to marry him, but I'm super nervous about how well adjusting to life in the US is going to go!

 

Story of my life! 

[iwir 337]

Communication, communication, communication. I know it's easy said than done. I have shared my anxieties too with my fiance. He also connected with some people who married to foreigners so he would get an idea or two. I have told him I will sacrifice and give up everything here just to be with him. I do it because I love him and the adjustment time will be the hardest time for me and I'll need him the most. I told him the isolation will kill me. I need to maintain my independence. I will have to get an access to go out either he drives me or I drive myself. We have been talking about what's next and make some plans. But then again I believe if we can be open and honest with each other and talk in positive way, we can always find a solution

I'm lucky in that I have friends in the US already, and unfortunately he doesn't really seem to understand it - but my MIL is worse!

Please speak in English. Not everyone understands what you're talking about. If you prefer to use local language, you can contact each other through private message. Thanks!

My parents in law are amazing. I have made some friends when I visited him last March. Most live around the same area. I don't think It'd be difficult for me to make friends. I will keep myself busy, exploring the neighborhood, go to yoga class (I do Bikram and bikramites are the same everywhere hehe), start learning gardening, enjoying domestic life before going back to workforce, but driving will be the challenge for me. Where I live now I can get anything within walking distance. We don't need a car to get by. In Bay Area everything is so scattered. My fiance plays hockey and drive 64 km to get to the rink. For us that's insane!

Ha Di nma! Kelere m ndi ulo gi!!💖💖💖💖

 

We're waiting for the NOA2 mail. I will give a complete 15-21 days before I start calling NVC for our case number. I believe NVC Stage is quick, but I may have to schedule my July interview to give my Fiancé time to come down (he wishes to be around).😍💖

Hi all, 

 

Any Filipina fiancee from Toronto?

I have to give my fiance a pep talk at least once a month on the move to the USA he loves me and wants to be with me but the fear of the unknown gets the best of him sometime.....
