Wow this was November 2021. I might need to update my timeline.
what happened was I decided that
we have to see each other again because it was past 2 years since the last time we were together. (June 2019 was the last and this was Nov 2021). I did not file.
Anyway, fast forward, waited for another year, we met again on December 2022. We celebrated welcoming year 2023 in another country.
filed the K-1 March 2023. Latest status is “RECEIVED” By USCIS.
Thank you all. Will update more.
