3/8 haul: I'm back, Walmart!

It's been months since I shopped with coupons at Walmart and while I was MIA from couponing I had heard that Walmart has implemented stricter policy regarding coupons like they won't manually enter coupons if it doesn't scan and will have to return said coupons back to the customer.

As you know, it was my first time to place an order online so...

The Second Step: Applying for K-1 Visa

After USCIS approves the petition, it is sent to the National Visa Center (NVC) for processing, and NVC will send it to the U.S. Embassy where your fiancé(e) will apply for a K-1 nonimmigrant visa.
