Scott
and I met online in October of 1997. After about a month of
chatting we realized that our common interests and ideals were
leading towards our falling deeply in love. When we realized that
this was more than just a friendship, we sent each other videos,
photos, started writing to each other, and talking on the telephone.
All these things made us even more certain that what we had was real
and how fortunate we were to find each other.
Naturally, our families were a little hesitant about the situation but
I constantly assured them that
Scott and I were in love and that
meeting physically would just be the last step in a relationship that
was so perfect I knew it would all turn out fine...after all, we ARE
soulmates *s* Scott ventured the courage to ask his parents if I
could stay with them when I came to visit and they tentatively agreed
to a couple weeks (I think they wanted to see if this was true love). While
I visited the States I also wanted to meet some other friends with whom
I'd been chatting online, and I was fortunate enough to meet four of them.
Anyway, once I arrived our love just grew stronger every day and I
spent my entire three months living with Scott and his family. I have
to admit, it felt like a three month honeymoon because we spent so
much time together. Scott had just been finishing his Masters in
Material Science Engineering so I would accompany him almost every day
to Uni (he was done with classes, just needed to complete his
experiments etc for his thesis). It was the most wonderful time of my
life.
After returning to Australia, Scott and I decided we just couldn't be
apart for any longer than necessary. We found out the correct way to
go about getting married was to use the K1 visa route. The thought of
being separated for a few months hurt both of us deeply, but at least
we knew that at the end of it, everything would be legal and we'd be
together forever. Thus begins our K1 timeline so read on.
At my beloved's suggestion...here is the number to call in the US if you
want the fiancee visa forms sent out to you. 1-800-870-3676
