when I arrived at the airport, it took 1 minute to check, they took the envelope from me, stamped my passport, took a photo, asked when our wedding ,that's all!  I took my bags  after 5 minutes, and stood at the airport for another 40 minutes, because my husband didn’t expect the check to be so fast🤦🏻‍♀️

All you are too very kind. 

Thank you all for putting my mind at ease.  

 

She's now fast asleep in the hotel.  I've never seen her so tired.

Haha. Congrats. 

Thank you.  

 

Let me say this:  This is one of the most happy days of my life.  I can't even describe the emotions that I have right now.

 

Almost 3 years she and I planned to be together.  So many ups and downs in that time.  Happy times, and a few trips to hell and back.  So many times I thought this day would never come.

 

Now my girl is here with me.  I almost have to pinch myself to make sure I'm not dreaming.  

 

Again, thank you all for the support during my stressful few hours earlier today.  From the bottom of my heart, I am grateful to all of you.

Came thru LAX in November in about 30 minutes. I was with my fiancee and I will never forget the look on her face when she saw all the welcome to America signs and flags some people had. It was like her wildest dreams come true, and at the 5 month mark we're going strong, there have been challenging situations, but we are strong, and will get thru.

 

Congrats, I came thru LAX at 10pm and drove to Vegas that night, didn't get home til 3am, I was pretty tired too. Should have did what you did and got a room for the night.

Here on a K1? Need married and a Certificate in hand within a few hours? I'm here to help. Come to Vegas and I'll marry you Vegas style!!   Visa Journey members are always FREE for my services. I know the costs involved in this whole game of immigration, and if I can save you some money I will!

Well, I live in Florida and work in Philadelphia.  So my life is on the other coast.  I just flew out here to meet her.  We are going to spend the weekend doing tourist stuff around LA.  Then fly back to Pennsylvania on Sunday.  Florida on Thur night to get our paperwork for the wedding in order.  

 

I'm just glad the immigration stuff is behind us.  

 

And yes, I am happy I had a room so close to the airport she could sleep in.

Shout out to fellow Philadelphian (kinda!) Visa Journey person! So happy this is happening for you and the wait is finally over and you get to be with her!! 

Curious, do you fill out the AOS in Florida or Philly?
