Exactly 7 months after we started this process and now I have my interview tomorrow at 8am...............I am feeling excited and a little nervous although I am sure by tomorrow morning that my stomach will be churning! I have all my documents ready and together and I'm going in with $69,968.51 in savings praying they will accept this for self-sponsorship through the London embassy (Dam exchange rate means I have way less than I did a month ago)! I will make sure I post the result so anyone in a similar situation to me can get some more info about this option. There isn't an awful lot of information out there and I'm sure this is an interesting topic for those from the UK who are in fact the principal provider in the relationship rather than the US-Citizen (my husband-to-be is a student and supports himself with a mixture of grants, loans, parents outside the US and me but we are not able to include any of those on the I-134). Please note that this won't apply to you if you are from a different embassy as far as I know the UK is the only embassy that allows this. Anyway it has been a long tough journey and hopefully it is almost complete. Keep your fingers crossed for me fellow VJ-ers!!!

Yes, I'm sure it has been stressful putting it all together - and you're right about the ROE, our dollar is looking pretty sick lately too. All the best for your interview - I hope it all goes well. :yes:(F)

Mar 2011 - After 5mths denied for lost docs - Attempts to follow up failed. Mar 18 2012 - I-129F sent - No sign of NOA1 but they have banked the check...Jul 24 - Update - USCIS has located our file
Infopass Apt - they sorted through everything - our 2011 and 2012 file keep getting mixed up - getting us a Case# (still waiting) Dec- Infopass Appt- expecting to get a case # in about a week ..Still no Case number

Mar 2013 Infopass - advised file was in a box somewhere,and it would be quicker for us to refile. Life gets in the way... New petition submitted July 2014 .
