Abdou and I met online in June 2003. January 5, 2004 we filed the I129-F and it was denied 8/04 because we had not met. (I wish I had known of this site much earlier). I went to be with Abdou October 2004. We just refiled our I 129-F 11/17/04. Keeping our fingers crossed it will work this time. Abdou arrived in America on 6/10/05. Our wedding date is 6:00 p.m. on June 23, 2005! MR AND MRS FELLAH!!!!!
