... in response to Visa Approved...:-)..:-)..: -), posted by Houndog on May 9, 2001A Big Collective thank you to All.
WOW...one huge step in this process is winding down for LE and Myself, yes she was granted her visa from the US. Embassy and can now join me here in Houston. From the time we first corresponded till now has been 11 months. The K1 visa gives us an additional 3 months to marry,if neccesary, for a total of 14 months. While not forever, it is certianly quite a bit of time to get to know another person 'for some of us'. A large part of what made finding a woman that loves me with all her heart possible was "Doing My Homework" !!!!!!!!!!!! I followed steps and guidelines that allowed ME to be found by "THE RIGHT ONE", "The Last One" . One who thinks I'm the most wonderful man in the world. Which is EXACTLY what doing my Personal Inventory allowed me to discover that I could find, what I deserved, and what I refused to settle for less than . I met Many women in this adventure, and in the end was able to be found and accepted by one so different and special, that she completely captured my heart.
In about a week she will arrive in Miami, where I will meet her. Then we begin the next and hardest part of this process. Knowing beforehand many of the problems likely to occur is a big plus IMHO. Coupled with the many friends she and I have both made along the way, it is likely to be easier on us than others who would otherwise be somewhat isolated. I recomend to the truly serious guys to make friends along the way. I've made many and it's something I'll always look back on with the fondest of memories. The comradery of guys making like choices has kept me inspired even when things weren't going my way. It's truly been a unique adventure in so many ways. I would list those of special distinction, but I surely would forget someone because there have been so many Real Men I have met along the way and I wouldn't wish to make anyone feel overlooked. You all know who you are...My Respect and Admiration goes out to each of you.
I still have preparations to make so I'll need to "get to it"...LOL...best of luck to all in Life and Love...
