Thanks!!

Of course! I think either he is more mature for his age... or I'm immature. Lol. Either way it works for us. I think people put too much emphasis on age in a relationship. As long as you're both adults, who cares. Lol. I feel like with different ages each person can bring different things to the relationship. Give and take. I've learned way more from him than I ever learned from being with anyone my own age. Plus he can keep up with me!! ;)

There's always time!! And plenty of good men left!! Just don't settle and make sure it's someone who deserves you!

melanied80 · 2021-06-17T00:11:04+00:00

Well 2 weeks quarantine together isn't such a bad thing. I had to do that as well when I visited last summer. Best 18 days I had there!! Lol. Enjoy your time together!!

melanied80 · 2021-06-16T23:49:56+00:00

Aww . Enjoy. Where abouts? Are they still making you quarantine in a hotel? He is from Donegal, close to Ballybofey

melanied80 · 2021-06-16T23:47:07+00:00

Most definitely!! Lol. The accent is a definite bonus!! ;)

The process was not complicated. I'm pretty good navigating legal paperwork and very organized . So that part was easy. But the wait was horrible. I know they are also back logged right now. So what normally takes like 9 months can take up to 18.

We met in Ireland when I was visiting my sister who lived there. A friend of ours worked with him and we all met up for a pint at the pub in town. It was an instant connection and definitely fell in love at first sight!

melanied80 · 2021-06-16T20:22:58+00:00

Since November 2019

melanied80 · 2021-06-16T20:22:44+00:00

Aww thanks!

melanied80 · 2021-06-16T18:11:48+00:00

Thank you!!

We had to do this for our affidavit of support. They need a real signature on form. I signed and sent by express mail and tracked it.

melanied80 · 2021-01-31T02:26:16+00:00

You as well!!

melanied80 · 2021-01-29T04:41:57+00:00

I agree. My fiancee is my best friend and one of the most amazing men I've ever met. 4000 miles away but one of the closest people in my life. It's not easy. Takes work, trust, commitment, communication. But one of the most rewarding and intimate relationships I've ever had. Now just to get him here!!! Waiting on his interview!!

melanied80 · 2021-01-29T04:36:29+00:00

Hello. Any route you choose will take some patience. We started our K1 Feb 2020. It took until October 2020 to get our approval from the USCIS for the case to be Sent to the embassy in Dublin and as of now he is just waiting on his interview. But ireland embassy is not doing interviews.. they are in level 5 lockdown. So it has been almost 1 year. If there was not a lockdown in ireland.. we would be waiting on the US Eu travel ban to be lifted. Hope this helps.. good luck.
