Our story is rather simple - my husband and I met online. We chatted for a couple months, then decided to meet in person. Since that day, we have spent almost every weekend together. We got engaged over Easter 2009, and married in September 2009. We had to wait for our marriage certificate before we could apply...but once we got it, we sent of our I-130 right away. We did our application entirely on our own - no lawyers were involved. USCIS received our application on December 3, 2009 and we have been waiting ever since.
