I also need to ask...

Since i dont know how are things at the US embassy in Macedonia, i wrote a detailed description of how my fiance and I met. How we started talking and where it went from there. I dont know if it is ok to be detailed, but i read that this supplement will be sent to the embassy when they call in for an interview and that sometimes its best to be detailed.

I would appreciate any advice you may have concerning this matter.

thank you once again

you should keep it short and to the point. "I met so and so online in an Internet chat room on or about MM DD YYYY. We met by chance and we began chatting often. We made the decision to meet and I traveled to her (his) country on MMDD YYYY. We spent xx wonderful days together as I learned about her (him). I look forward to (name) to join me here in the USA as soon as possible.

It does not have to be exactly like that and you can go longer. Just remember, they see these dozens of times every day so I would imagine they notate how you met and the other basic information for their records. As long as you met and can provide the documents to support that, your good to go. - I agonized over this for WEEKS and had this long drawn out 4 page letter, I discovered VisaJourney and was able to whittle that down to what you see here. Keep it simple.

The more information you put in that letter, the more information the CO has to draw questions from. They get their questions from whatever information is provided to them. Obviously they cannot very well ask a question they do not know the answer too themselves. So be careful and stick the basics.

OP, Brian is talking strictly about what USCIS "cares" about. The consulates are another matter entirely. Include the entire write-up, and give your fiancee a copy of it.

This question was asked and answered in an earlier thread.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).
