We first got engaged in November 2018 and started the Fiance Visa process. But as time went on, we decided we preferred spending a few months to a few years in Mexico first so I could learn more about the culture. We got married July 10, 2019, and I moved to Mexico and worked on becoming a permanent resident. We started the CR-1 visa process in November. I got laid off and our Mexico plans got cut a little short, but filing through the consulate has been a blessing and I'm so happy we started the process earlier then we initially thought we would need.
