things we can do now while waiting

I know we are waiting for noa1 and 2 now and are finished with everything until she gets her package 3 from the embassy. I have an online version of package 3 that someone posted here on VJ, its pretty much all the basic stuff like medical examination stuff, forms, affidavit of support, birth certificates, police checks, family records.

however what items are the time sensitive ones? like for example do they require the police background check to be only like a month old? the reason I am asking this is because I will be in Korea in the military till may 2010, the I-129f was so much easier when we where able to do it together in person.

I just would feel way more comfortable if we finished everything we possibly could before I leave, I don't want to just throw everything on her. and again i know every place is different, but any information would be aperchiated just so i can get a general idea.

generally police checks are valid for one year, birth certificates last forever, and affidavit of support should be the most recent as possible for the interview, you might need to send that to her. For things to do while waiting ( document your relationship, take more pictures when you are with her, and when you are away from her, talk more on the phone, email more, chat more, etc)

Also, I’ve been reading that it’s best to leave with her all original documents for her interview, what original documents are we talking about here? Will she need my original items as well such as divorce decrees, birth certificate, and other really important documents pertaining to me?

I'm asking this for two reasons

1. When I leave Korea I'm going to be PCSing to another base, they may or may not require these documents periodically throughout my in-processing.

2. I love her to death, but damn she is forgetful and really clumsy lol, normally it’s really cute to me , but if she lost some of these documents.......I don't think it would be so cute anymore ....

during the interview, your birth certificate is no longer needed, you should send her a certified copy of the divorce decrees, thats the only thing that is needed to be original from you. if you plan on leaving your financial docs with her then the only original needed is the I-134 because it requires your signature also for your financial, you can order tax transcripts for free to go along with your I-134.
