After the successful acquisition of a K1 visa, my fiancé and I tied the knot! He is adjusting well to life in the US, though finding proper Thai ingredients for him to cook with has been challenging. He still has the NE winter to weather, but if his current disposition is any indication, he will handle it with grace and strength.
If anyone out there needs support in the immigration process, please PM me and I will be happy to share our successes and challenges further. I am sure we can offer some worthwhile advice!
Our 11 year journey has now been achieved and we are blissfully happy.
