Hi there,

I am new here and appreciate all feedback and inputs that I already found.

We are just in the NOA1 - NOA2 waiting process right now.

My fiancé is in Georgia and I am in Switzerland. We have been together for 2.5 years and got engaged in June.

If anyone has tips I will really appreciate your help.

 

Looking forward to interact with some of you.

 

Good luck to all couples :)

N-400: 12/05/2023 (confirmed fingerprints are re-used)

Interview scheduled for: 05/09/2024

Welcome and congrats on your upcoming wedding :)

 

Like said above filing in your timeline is a great idea so others can see how far you are in the process and so on.

 

Always read up on the next step in the process you are a K-1 so also read up about AOS after you get here and are married and so on.

 

It's good to be prepared. 

 

Here is also a thread for people in Georgia :)
