I-751 October 2012 filers

paciencia y fe · October 17, 2012

hi all, we've got our packet all put together and will send it off tomorrow! here's our list of evidence, in case it's helpful. I'm not sure if it's too much or not enough. I'm hoping it's more than enough. We get very nervous about these processes, probably stems from having to go through a really tough consulate for the original K-1, and of course the fact that our life together is on the line!
