Hello guys, My name is Larry(age 46) and this is my first post. I would like to start off with a little bit of background. I first met my fiance(age 45) on the internet in June 08. I traveled to Fushun City, China to meet her and her family in person in Sept. 08. I proposed to her in front of her Whole family ( which I have lots of pictures and video of) and I stayed for about ten days. I filed for a I-129F in Oct. 08 and she had her interview in June 09. She was denied her visa because we did not prove " a Bonnafide Relationship" I was planning a second trip in Sept. 09 but my company that I work for had to lay off several employees ( I am the General Manager so I was able to keep my job Thank Goodness) But being that we are a small company and had just laid off some of our workforce I was unable to take time for a second trip back to China. I am able now to take that next trip and I plan to Marry my fiance. My questions are: #1 Will this lapse in time hurt us? #2 She has been taking English Classes but her English is still a little hard to understand so will this be a factor? #3 I have a Bankruptcy on my credit (but I still own my on home) will this be a factor with the visa and do they even check your credit. #4 I plan to go back for support when she has her interview but what if for some reason that I can't, will this too be a factor? I know that I may be putting the cart before the horse with some of these questions but any advise that you guys can give me would be very helpful. But I would like for all of you to know that my fiance and I have had a very loving relationship for over two years now with daily communication either through email or telephone and I have saved copies of EVERYTHING. I just want to make sure that we do it right. Thank you, Larry
