Alright folks, New to the game.

Greetings and salutations.

Back in Dec, my future wife has applied for the K-1 visa that will eventually allow me to go down and marry her.

We were a bit disheartened about the processing times last night. I know these will be a make-or-break point in our relationship, but I require people's experience and advice on the matter.

Being from Canada, and having lived in Ottawa for several years, I fully know the kind of hardship that bureaucrats and bureaucracy can deliver, be it from their general smugness to the downright inhumane aspects of certain decisions.

However, this helps little in the matters of the heart. So I ask all of you, especially those who are successful and that are perhaps Canadian, much as myself, What advice can you give me in order to give hope to my significant other, thru her hardships, and the fact that she longs to just be able to wake up next to me (much as I do).

I know this is quite emotionally charged, but what can I say, when she hurts, I hurt.

So, That being said, I also wish to know about what other advice can you give me in order to speed things up OTHER than resort to something that could land me in a ridiculous amount of trouble. I prepared to fight tooth and nail for this, But I wish to do this legally.

Thank you for your time.

You did not give information on where you are at in your K-1 process? Since your Canadian it will be up to your financee in the States to have the will power to pull this off and the patience to handle it. I went throught this last year and my now wife got a lawyer after she was turned down only because the consulate could not come up with a better reason than to say prove you love him. Well I had to send in day by day account of our meeting and also another statement explaining how we met. Hope you keep a diary and keep your and your spouce stories similar. Your lucky its easy for you to come to the US. My spounce was not allowed to visit the US. I could visit her anytime but its expensive to fly to China. Hang in there its worth it. I did and now I am married and very happy.
