Visa Visa Visa Visa!

This morning at about 3:oo AM, Dan woke me from an anxiety nightmare (in which he was denied his visa) to inform me that he had in fact been granted a k-1 Fiance visa! We're officially, really getting married, for real! It was just under four months from filing to approval, so we got really lucky, time-wise. Now just have to:

1. Get Dan a ticket home.
2. Get Dan a ticket to the states.
3. Get married.

Show Time

Today Dan is finally on his way to his interview in Frankfurt. He has all his documents in order, a little bag with clothes and food, and he took a train this afternoon (early morning my time) to Frankfurt. After a night in a little hotel, he'll report to the Consulate at 9:30 tomorrow morning to have his file looked at and - hopefully - approved on the spot.


I am on my way home to make the first of (probably) a series of wedding planning trips. I have appointments with various officiants, reception sites, caterers, florists, cake bakers, photographers and dress shops. I'm still feeling superstitious, so I'm not making any official decisions or plans until I get the high sign from Dan that all has gone well, but I am getting really excited for all the planning. Updates forthcoming....

Updatables

Despite wondering at the hundreds of Euros the last few stages of the process cost, I nearly, almost, tasteably have a K-1 fiancé immigrant visa!

Last steps:
A medical at the hospital in Berlin-Zehlendorf at 10.30 am on Tuesday 20th May (1 morning off work!)
  • For this I need 1, or 3, passport photos (depending on the source), my passport, my case number and my vaccine records.
  • When I leave the venerable Dr. Lothar Erbenich, I need to take with me a DS-3025 form (vaccine follow-up on adjusting status) and my chest X-ray (which goes on the plane with me
The Visa Interview at the Frankfurt US Consulate at 9.30 am on Tuesday June 3rd (2 days off work! But lots of train time and a hopefully cheap place to stay.) Details for that coming soon.

Approximately a week later I will finally, actually, tangibly have a K-1 visa delivered to my very door. Or at least to my postbox.
