Hello!

I'm really glad I found this forum. Each time I had a question I would google it and come up with a whole bunch of links. I'm sure VisaJourney.com came up a few times but I just never paid attention to the forum as a whole.

I will be hanging out in the Canada region area for now, methinks.

We sent in our I-129F in June, which the California center has received, so I'm thinking it will be February before I get my visa. There goes my February 2nd wedding! Hrmph.

So nice to meet all of you! Looking forward to all the interesting things you have to say! And I gotta be up on all this visa lingo!

Best regards,

J of Team J and B

Thanks, everytwo!

Liz legend n 'Ol and Nini & Bee, I am looking at your time lines and it only took four months from the day you filed your I-129F to your medical/interview. That's very quick. Is it because your service center is in Vermont or just that April was a quick month?

I'm thinking I won't get my interview till eight months from June 2007, which is February 2008. Six to eight months is the norm, according to our lawyer.

Our lawyer is in San Francisco so they sent our app to the CSC. Is there anything I can do on my end to expedite things?

Thanks!

J

Rub horseshoes every night with a silk cloth soaked in dew from the full moon in October, then dance three times around a campfire lit with pine wood grown from the Black Forest... :D

In all seriousness, I think I was just extraordinarily lucky that a) we went through VSC, B) it was April, and c) we missed the huge wave of omgmassapplications. Personally, I know I delayed having my medical/interview done simply because I wanted Bee to be there for the interview and we couldn't take time off until August.

Get starting on collecting your documents for Pakcet 3. Be glad that you're going through the Vancouver embassy - their wait times for interviews is faster than from Montreal. :)

If you have any questions, let me know. Good luck on the journey! :D

Thank you for the warm welcome, everyone!

Did I mention how glad I am to have found VisaJourney.com? My fiance and I have a lawyer, jobs, cars, lives, volunteer work, even a little money, but for me, it feels so much better knowing there are so many out there in the same boat as us, even if how we got here is all different, we're all waiting for the same result.

I have no one to rant to beside my fiance. None of my friends are in the same boat and they have no idea what hoops and red tape we must go through. And our lawyer? Well, let's just say that I have to email and call for updates and replies are hardly prompt.

Now that I've read the forums here, I'm starting to calm down a bit and am less anxious. I now understand how the K1 Visa works, the time lines, etc., it doesn't seem that bad!

There was a q in another thread that asked, "What do you do with your time while waiting?" and I actually have quite a full life right now. I may even want to try to delay my entry to the USA for as long as I can once my K1 Visa is approved.

You never know!

Thanks for listening to this n00b.
