Bec&Ben

May it be a speedy process for you Bec & Ben....this forum is an amazing resource for the process, no matter what stage you are at.

Thanks Terri.. He's been gone only a week & I'm struggling with all the emotions that go with it. Bleh. Let's hope it's a long & speedy process for us both!

Hey!

I'm in Perth about to start the process... ahhhh!

I'm a bit confused after reading this... my fiance in the USA is now in the process of getting some docs together to file the I129F, when is the letter regarding custody needed to be filed? I didn't think we needed a letter regarding my son's custody until at later date?

My son's father lives in the UK, I live in Australia with my son (he's nearly 6) & we have a verbal arrangement in place. He's quite happy to sign an Affidavit for my son to move to the States with me.

As for the "7 month arrangement".. if it's only verbal it can't be proved it was said, and Family Law is one of those things that can get really quite messy. I'd get the Father to put something in writing.. without specifying how long your child can stay in the USA.

Hi.. I'm Bec from Perth and going to be starting the K-1 journey in a few weeks. Have found this post to be really interesting & has given me something to look forward to. My beautiful fiance, Ben, is in North Carolina & we'll probably end up in Alabama.

I have a beautiful 5 year old son who'll be coming on this journey with me.. does anyone have experience with children & this process?

Congrats to those of you that are married!!
