Our K1 Visa recently became ready for interview at the UK Embassy - we're so excited!! We're hopeful we'll be able to start our lives together by the summer :)

 

Anyone else at this stage in their visa journey and feeling the excitement butterflies? Anyone nervous? Just wanted to give a place for people to share that unique feeling amongst friends :3

I love that you're so excited for your future!  For Jon and I, it was a lot of change and although 2024 was an amazing year, we had so much going on that it was hard not to feel completely anxious all the time.  For him, he had to completely upend his life and move halfway around the world: a feat I can't possibly fathom.  And for me, I actually changed states as well, trying to set up a living situation the two of us could foster together.  

 

Seems like now that we're in the holding pattern for a green card interview, I actually have a moment to look around and enjoy how far we've come.  I'm wishing these "good life" feelings for you as well, down the line.   Never lose that spirit of hope and joy.  <3

Though there is still a lot of anxiety, stress and -insert negative emotion here- in our life, it's all worth it. I always wake up realizing how lucky I am to be with my love. 

Reading is what? Fun-da-men-tal!
