Thought I'd update some info in case it is useful.....I don't remember really if I've said much before, but if someone takes the time to read this, perhaps it'll help.....

I am much older than my husband but that has been a non-issue. We met each other in 2019 when I was in the middle of a divorce. I was on the language exchange app Tandem trying to improve my language skills to advance my career, especially since I was divorcing my ex husband and I would need additional income. I happened to "meet" my now-husband on that app. Actually, I didn't want to text/ talk to him at first, but then did. He had no plans to talk to me either really, but we were "matched" because, of all things, we had a mutual interest in Japanese. I am semi-fluent and was looking to connect to others, mostly Japanese natives, to practice. My now-hubbie was just starting to learn Japanese and was looking to speak with someone, anyone, to practice. Anyway, long story short, we met on Tandem and clicked. At first we were just friends. I actually flew to Morocco twice to meet him and see the country as a friend - my business requires me to travel a lot internationally so it was easy to add on a swing by Morocco. Then just before my divorce was to be finalized, we met a 3rd time and fell in love. But literally the week I was to return from Morocco and finalize my divorce within 2 days of my return, everything shut down in the USA. So my divorce was delayed months. But then it finished. And then my now-hubby and I decided to get engaged - remotely - and then file the K1 application process. With the help of an immigration lawyer.

So here is a quick rundown of the timeline until now....
