Re: Not Visa related.... How did you meet your partner?

Me and the wife started talking together over Neopets (kinda a web-based Pokemon gaming site) in 2004 and a friendship began - took us almost 10 months to realise it was more than that and we made...

Re: Those First Few Steps.

Co-sponsors are fine - even at the I-134 stage (I used three I-134's). So you'd be able to have two I-134's submitted at the K1 stage (assuming that the numbers add up - you may need more).

If you have anything less than $54,636 in savings,...

Re: Those First Few Steps.

To weigh in here, I met my wife in a similar way - via a gaming site (not X-Box Live, cos I'm a PC gamer).
