Visas
J got his visa!Little background info.. J and I met online over 5 years ago and began a relationship. He came here and visited me for a few months before going back to the US. J proposed, I said yes (of course!) and then we began work on applying for a Prospective Fiance visa.
What that means really is that if he was approved for the visa he would be able to come down here for up to 6 months as long as we got married within that time.
Obviously, we did get married! (Yay!)
As the Prospective Fiance visa was only temporary and for 6 months, once we were married we had to apply for a Spouse visa.
Technically that is also temporary but it is valid for 2 years. If after 2 years we are still together and everything is going good, he becomes a permanent resident!
Well.. we got the application together (the amount of paperwork we submitted was about 10cm in height, I kid you not!) and I took it in to the office personally on Friday.
Yesterday (which was Tuesday) we got a letter from them approving his visa.
They responded in under 2 working days! We were expecting to have to wait a few months..
Very exciting stuff!!! No worries about J staying in the country anymore!!
