I have added this for my daughter and son-in-law as I am helping them with their journey. They met in Colombia while my daughter and I were visiting a friend of hers. They began talking more after she returned home and fell in love. They had several extended visits and ultimately got engaged. Due to him needing to finish his studies at University in Colombia and the concerns she has with timing of a K1 and the fear of him being sent to the military upon graduation, they decided to marry early and begin the I130 process instead.
