Hi everyone! I'm new here-been a lurker for a few days but this is my first posting. I married my Finnish love three weeks ago and am finishing the K-1 application, etc...this weekend. I'm probably overdoing it by having exhibits with emails, receipts/plane tickets from all trips, letters we wrote from 1988-1998 (we met 21 1/2 years ago in Australia and reconnected thru Google last year!), copies of a few greeting cards, wedding ring receipts, letters from my daughter and a friend, and a fancy photo book (the cool ones that camera stores make-looks like a picture book). Too much?!!! My question is this. My husband filled out his 325A but didn't put one period of unemployment during the five years. He gave it to me in Finland (signed). After reading the forum here, I realized that he needed it. He made a continuation sheet with the one period of unemployment that should be included that's out of order from the first page, and emailed it to me. Is this okay? If I have to get a new one from him, it'll take awhile to get to me via mail. Does my packet sound thorough? I'd like to send it out within a week.

I'm almost afraid of the answers here! Thanks!

Our timeline:

2/88: We met in Sydney, Australia at a youth hostel! He's Finnish, I'm American-both were in our early 20s at the time and fresh out of college (so couldn't afford to visit each other's countries after that!). We had a three-day romance, then went our separate ways. He actually was going to Sydney a week later, but decided at the last minute to cut his trip short in another country and go early. Wow.

1988-1998: Wrote "snail mail" letters/sent Xmas cards, but lived our separate lives. I married someone else, divorced in 2006...he lived with someone for years and then that ended.

10/08: Because of a series of random life events, I Googled my Finn Man and found him (but no link to his email, and the website his name was on was in Estonian so I couldn't even read it!). It took me two weeks to find a link to someone else, who forwarded my email to him (we were both single at the time thankfully!!!!). The email went to his spam folder but he happened to check it that day and responded back to me immediately! This was after 10 years of no contact and almost 21 years of not seeing each other after we first met.

11/08-5/09: We traveled back and forth to visit each other. Love at first (second?) sight!

7/09: Married in Helsinki, Finland...after meeting randomly 21 1/2 years ago and finding each other again!!!!!

8/13/09: I-130 sent!!!!!!!!!

Rest is on my timeline!

If you are 'married' K1 is the wrong path for you.... read through the guides.. CR1 may be better for you

Still, K3 is obsolete. Follow the CR1 guide. Continuation sheets for G325a are just fine.
