We first met at Dulles airport. We exhanged email addys and I spent a good few months totally ignoring him. I relented, he came to visit me in Spain and it all went from there.

online in 2000, he was that annoying person who keeps asking for IM, I ignored him as long as was humanly possible, told him to bog off but he still kept asking for IM, so I eventually gave in and found out he wernt such a bad fella after all.

Moved to US May 2002

He was on assignment in the UK for his US employer (in fact, he joined the US company for the opportunity to work in London). This was back in 98.
Soon after arriving he met me at work (I worked in the London office and had done so for a couple of years by then) and a relationship developed from there.
To make it absolutely clear to anyone who has done or is considering applying for the I-130 through DCF at the US Embassy in London, my spouse had a UK work permit and no "Indefinite Leave to Remain" stamp at the time he applied for my I-130.
He had already been resident in the UK for over 3 years at the time we began the I-130 process.
You probably want a timeline too-
First met in May or June 1998
Engaged Nov 2000
Married May 2001
Had I-130 interview and big brown packet, Sept 2001
Activated visa in March 2002
Moved to US May 2002

Ah yes online in Yahoo Chats UK Football room around 1998.
The atraction was a yank who knew more about football than me...doesnt get any more romantic than that
Several trips back and forth across the pond, several thousands spent on phone bills (and I do mean thousands...remember BT's early international prices per minute?) and we settled down in her home state of Oregon. Married in 2001.
