I actually really wondering why did you choose K1 ?

also through this process how many times have you fought with your fiancé ?

 

For me, we were debating ourselves either K1 or CR1 but the fact that the whole process K1 ( was ) only 6 months that's why we chose this process. Me and J been having hard time with this process, he is patient but me---it's been rough the fact how I have to gave up my career and promotion due to too long process...today I just found out that one of my coworker got the promotion that supposed  to be mine, he's been working only for few month. it hurts but I accepted it.

J listening to my whining, but at the end he can't do anything- sometimes I am wondering, is it only me or someone out there having the same dilemma too ?

 

hahaha not sure why I am venting now...

As for us, we cannot get married in my home country Malaysia easily. Ivan will need to convert to Muslim since I was born as a Muslim (it’s written on my ID card too I’m a Muslim ) . I never did live my life like a Muslim so I don’t want him to convert and to get married here there will be a course and a test that need to be taken. I know almost nothing about being a Muslim so I would get into a big trouble. Plus Ivan can’t convert here in Malaysia as they will not take conversion just to get married. Happened to my aunt, they got married outside Malaysia without my uncle converting and when they returned to Malaysia, Islamic police raided their house and then asked them to divorce because they didn’t recognise my aunt’s marriage (doesn’t make any sense). 

 

To get married in Croatia, I will need a letter saying that I’m single. To get that letter for a Muslim I need to get it from an Imam where I live and to get it I need to go through the test too. Being an atheist is a big no no in Malaysia if you’re born as a Muslim. Only now after we applied for K1 visa they made a new rule that we can now apply with the commissioner of oath.  how I wish they changed the rule before we applied for this. We thought it’s gonna take maximum 6 months but here we are, still waiting for our approval on day 195.

 

I’m sorry if my statement is a bit offensive for any muslims here on this forum. I respect every religion even though I don’t believe in one.

We’re gonna wait until day 200. We might send a letter to withdraw the petition and get married in Croatia since I can now go to the commissioner of oath. We really want to live in US but this waiting game is seriously killing us. Thank you @Christy&J!  I wish you all the best too!

my mind was set to live in US but, after thinking so long I think how I am gonna give up everything just killing me. I got 2 promotions that I denied and now I am wondering if it was a good decision to deny it.

it's heartbreaking to see "me, myself" even thought about give up. I didn't understand how couples would easily give up and break up but now I do understand them...oh yes I do ! I am trying my best to distract myself and surround myself with friends, I even travel almost every 2 weeks to distract myself, but the fact I am not getting younger and how many chances I just let it got away it's killing me. Education, maybe mine would be compatible with US but the social security such as retirement, holidays and others I cant list...oh my God this scare me.

 

I mean, I know and believe in myself that I would get a job ...but I don't want " a" job, I want career.

 

it feels good tho to talk to people that sit in the same boat and understand.. thank you so much !

 

Oh gosh! Don’t even get ke started on the career thing... I had to turn down a amazing promotion. I work for an aeronautical company in Mexico City and this promotion would have taken me to a corporate level in France 🙁 I worked very hard for it, but then love happened. I love Carl very much but sometimes I can’t help to think about if it was the right decision. It’s just so hard to leave everything and everyone. Anyways... October ober 31st filer here, still waiting! Good luck everyone today could be our day!

Hi everyone!!!

So I got the email from USCIS saying "We have taken an action on your case." And I was like "ummmm is it so...? (with suspicious eyes)"

I checked the app. All I see is "Received."

I checked the old website. "Received" again.

After 10 mins of doing errands, I checked the new website, and I saw this!!!!!!!!!!

 

I couldn't believe it. I screamed at my mom when I told her!

We don't have a hardcopy NOA2 in our hand yet, but hopefully we will get it soon so we can actually feel more real.

 

NOA1 Received date on old website & the app: Oct. 27th

(NOA1 Received date on new website: Oct. 31st)

NOA 2 Approved date on new website: Apr. 25th

 

I updated my timeline, but I will put the correct NOA2 date if it is different in the hardcopy from the website.

I hope everyone will get their NOA2 soon. Sending you lots of love to my October fellows!!
