In addition to all the other planning going on, we are also dealing with immigration issues for Sergio as he will be moving to the United States from Canada. In case others are going through this process and are interested, this page may help answer some of their questions, or at least explain in detail how we approached the whole immigration issue. It's going to get technical, though, so bear with me. Also, please remember that while this is how we chose to do it, it's not necessarily the best way for everyone. So do your research, analyze your situation, and make the best decision for you.

First, before you do anything, be sure to check out the following links:

• http://www.k1faq.com/ - An amazingly thorough list of questions and answers to help walk you through the whole K-1 process. It was invaluable and saved me tons of time because it helped me understand the whole process from start to finish.
• http://www.mindspring.com/~docsteen/visainfo/visainfo.htm - This site has even more detailed info, and is the second site you should visit, after reading the FAQ. There are also links on that site (and the FAQ site) to info about other marriage-based visas, for those going that route.
• alt.visa.us.marriage-based The FAQ was created from questions and answers posted on the alt-marriagebased-visa newsgroup. This group is also great for getting the answer to specific questions - but for your sake, and their convenience, be sure to do a little reading first!
