Always nice to have a recap of the process for someone who has just gone through it.  Best of luck to you and your fiance / son.

...most of this info (as with much of your past info) is pretty much old news and well known. It always struck me how you never really researched any of the process and only did it as you needed to. Not my way.
Still, it's nice to know little has changed for those who must take the normal INS route. ;-)

As for being worth it, read David's story. Only guys like you would say something like that at this point in time, but good luck anyway.

Yes but I wish him the best, I know how he feels right now, when Natasha got off that airplane and I saw her step foot out through the doors from the airplane, I was so excited, so happy, its beyond description, and over the next few months I was the happiest man alive.

I've met a girl at Costco, she is married to a very nice AM who teaches mathematics, she is from Moldova and she seems very nice to me, I really like her.

Not every relationship will turn out like mine that's for sure, but my story should be taken very seriously in that one has to be very cautious and very careful, this whole process is not easy, nobody wants to talk about it but the fact of the matter is if you find a girl over in another country who you fall in love with, having to wait 6-12 months for her to get here can be very painful.

Wondering what they are doing on Friday and Saturday nights, wondering if everything will be approved, making all the phone calls, doing all the paperwork, etc.

Reading his story put a huge lump in my stomach because it brought back so many memories of all the things I had to do, I feel like I have been a hampster on a treadmill for the last 2.5 years, and now finally I've gotten off it.

Like I've said before, I don't think I would go through all of that all over again. Moving to the FSU would be far easier for me to find a girl I could be good with.

The risk is just too great for me to take again. But that doesn't mean Mark will have the same problems, I hope that he and his new fiancee will be very happy together.

...I wish him well too. I was only pointing out how someone with his, err, perspective tends to ignore certain possibilies. The same way you did, the same way he refused to accept a previous possibility that some others know as fact. I do wish him well though, he taught me some valuable lessons.
