Ok, I have to own up to the fact that I've been lurking in your thread for a few weeks. A couple of weekends ago I read the whole thing, and I been keeping up ever since. You guys have me ROFL all the time, and TODAY... well Today you guys should take a bow. rofl.gif

It was so funny I've been wetting myself over here laughing.gif

*hope you don't mind, cos I'm not a K-1 filer, or a July* unsure.gif


Everyone is welcome here but only if they are nice. I think you qualify smile.gif It's kinda like updates and OT for nice people - the OT forum can be a bit snippy for my liking biggrin.gif

i bet a SNICKERS there will be one in three weeks latest. anybody wants to bet?

I bet there's gonna be another one in about 5 minutes. Because I'm gonna start one. "I'm leaving my wife because she smells too pretty."

You mean you donīt do that? You have to...to please your husband! tongue.gif

You also have to press his clothes so he looks crispy all the time. So you know...after I take the clothes out of the dryer they donīt look creased at all but I donīt care that they look nice. Itīs not good enough. I donīt hesitate and since I donīt have an iron I take every piece of his clothes and put it on the ground and lay on it for like 20 mins (each piece). Then I consider it to be pressed enough and put it on his hanger. Itīs a lenghty process and I think after I get the work permit and get a job I will spend all my free time doing this for him after work. But I donīt mind at all. Itīs all for my husband. I donīt do that with my clothes...I donīt need to look crispy.

You should start acting like a proper wife Jeraly or he will divorce you for not being amusing, not pressing his clothes so he can look crispy and for smelling too good biggrin.gif

thanks very much!! i put the angry face, because in the midst of all this fun we are having together, the looming non-fun, immigration things will inevitably (dont know how spell that) come...but hopefully there will be no issue with it...yea, i know we have to wait another week before we head down the office (at 7am next thursday, because all of the other hours are while im at work sad.gif ) to apply...hopefully it will be quick and painless good.gif

Thank you!!! I am sooooo nervous now - I feel like I have so much to do even though in reality I will prolly just print things out then recheck them a billion times trying to see if I can find my married name on anything - I changed my e-mail address months ago because my old one just got spammed and because I wanted to start moving things I wanted to keep to my new addy...

Now I am wondering how I am going to show evidence of ongoing relationship!!! Oh I feel like everything I know has suddenly been written in Greek because my brain has turned to mush!!!

I'm betting Rae thought you meant proving on-going relationship for AOS. I don't know why, but that's what was in my head too since you were talking about your married name. Definitely not good to show those for k-1 visa lolol.

We just sent packet 3 in today (well he did). I feel like I should be doing something too. I have all my i-134 stuff ready to go. I know you guys love questions on that so I have one for you!! tongue.gif
I got my letter from my employer last month (was kinda excited about the noa2 & got overzealous)...do you think that should have been closer to the interview date which will probably be late May to early June (at least i hope so). Or am I just fine with it being dated in March? I think someone said that it's good for a while but I can't remember how long. Please don't blast me for asking! I'm doing lotza important stuff at work and have no time to research info like this on my own (sarcasm). But seriously, is it ok?

rae_and_scott
Actually as soon as I posted that I thought maybe it was not the best answer, realizing it's a K1, but really, it *IS* proof of your ongoing relationship! LOL

CBR, my guess is your letter is fine. MTL must be aware that since they take forever (or have, in the past) to dole out interviews, some docs must end up being a couple months old.

And get this, my lawyer is actually telling us we need to wait until we have all docs before we send back our checklist. I'm having email arguments with her back & forth. Whatever. We're sending that checklist tomorrow.

I am so stressed today.

Haha - well my photos are on CD/hard drive so they will be unceremoniously stashed somewhere in the depths of my case somewhere in between pages in a book or something laughing.gif I have a couple pics from Hawaii so that should be ok and we have passport stamps but I wondered what other evidence I might need? I know London don't normally check it but I want to make sure I have as much as I can (well - within reason) so I can calm myself a little at least...

take some time tonight to make some checklists, and start ticking things off... you have time to get everything you need, and now you've got the medical date you're laughing - anything else you need you CAN catch up on afterward, even if that's a bit sub-optimal... just don't let it freak you out smile.gif

all I printed were a couple of photos, and the index pages from my gmail account showing all the titles and dates of our conversations... that was IT - about six pages - and they didn't even ask for a single piece of it; I was SO glad I hadn't printed reams of stuff biggrin.gif
