Typically, yes once they get what they are requesting from you, that should complete your file and we'll all be looking for your NOA2 just after. If you have any idea of what they might be after, you can kinda start preparing for it. Was your notice by text/ email or a hardcopy in the mailbox? If you need help maybe you can post your question and one of us could help somehow too. You're doing OK Lady! Keep that spirit always,

I got the hardcopy yesterday. I need to provide more proof that we've met in person. so far i'm going to send my passport stamps to South Africa, and he sent me a copy of his passport that has stamps to the US. I have my airline tickets. I sent pictures of him and I together, but they weren't film dated, so now i'm sending the few filmdated photos i DID take. I also have bank statements showing that I made purchases in SA. Can you think of anything else I could send???

I got an RFE today. This means my case should be approved soon after turning in the evidence right?! I hope so! I'm so excited
... well kinda lol. -
However, I just noticed you're at 3 months... you may have to wait to hit 5 to really get anything done. But go ahead get all the info so you're ready to go if you hit 5 months. Maybe you won't have to wait that long
I know.. I just wanted to have everything ready in case my case has a delay.

How does one get the numbers for these congressmen/senator?

We spent a couple nights in Johannesburg with Byron's brother, several nights in Klerksdorp with his parents and sister, and one night in Rustenburg to go to the Pilandersburg Nat'l Park. I got to play with elephants and baby lions and cheetahs - such an experience!!
UGH!! It wouldn't let me view the pix, but that's awesome! I stayed in Springs, which is about an hour from Joburg. I was there from the end of December until the end of March.. It was a bummer coming home after being able to fall asleep and wake up next to him for such a long period.
We just braaied (sp?) alot with his family. It was a great experience, though i was hoping to go on a safari in Kruger Park

Is there a fee for the interview? If so, I was wondering about how much they are, just out of curiosity.
Also what is considered a big age difference?
Thanks
-
Can anyone send me a sample letter of intent for the interview, or tell me what needs to be included? Is it the same as the letter that was sent with the I-129f? Does the benificiary also need to write one out at this time?

I just returned from South Africa as well (end of February), and coincidentally, my future sister-in-law gave me Koeksisters just before I left! Was eating them at the Jo'burg airport while waiting for my flight! They are delicious!!!
They are awesome aren't they? Where at in SA did you stay?

This thread is awesome.
Seriously. I mean, what a better way to be distracted from USCIS. Thanks for the love, everyone!!I agree! I know I haven't been very..."active", but reading your posts is a GREAT pass-time! I just wish I was a "Decemberite" and not a uhhh (?)"Januarian"(?). (Dang it I missed the cutoff by just a few days!)
Also, I have a question about the Police Certificates. Meinard came to the US twice on an H1B visa and worked for about 8 months each time. Is the US now considered a place that he lived?

I just returned from South Africa, and this was my favorite. It's a very VERY sweet dessert. I haven't gotten to try this recipe myself, but I figured I'd share it with you guys.
Meinard translated it for me from one of his cookbooks, so hopefully everything's worded correctly! LOL!Koeksisters.
------------------------------------------------
Ingredients:
------------------------------------------------
Syrup
1L (4 cups) sugar
375 mL (1 1/2 cup) water
2.5 mL (1/2 tsp) cream of tarter
2.5 mL (1/2 tsp) powdered ginger
2 whole pieces of cinnamon
5-10 mL (1-2 tsp) glycerin
------------------------------------------------
Dough
1L (4 cups) four
2.5 mL (1/2 tsp) salt
13 mL (2 tbl) baking powder
60 mL (4 tbl) butter/margirine
1 egg
250-375 mL (1-1 1/2 cups) milk/water
------------------------------------------------
Fat/Oil to bake it in
------------------------------------------------
Directions:
------------------------------------------------
Make the syrup
1) Let sugar dissolve in water over low heat.
2) Add cream of tartar, ginger, cinnamon. Boil for 5 minutes.
3) Add glycerin just before you take the mixture off the stove.
------------------------------------------------
Make the dough
1) Mix powdered ingredients together. Mix butter in with handmixer.
2) In a separate bowl, beat the egg. Add milk/water
3) Now, mix the two bowls together
4) Knead the dough until it's smooth, then lest rest for at least 2 hours.
(PREHEAT OVEN TO 375 F)
------------------------------------------------
1) Roll out dough 1 cm thick, and cut it into thin strips.
2) Fold the strips in half and twist them.
3) Cover 5-6 Koeksisters in lard/oil on top.
4) Bake 1-2 minutes until they are light brown. Turn over and repeat this step.
5) Remove and place on paper towel for a minute.
6) Use a fry-basket to dip koeksister into syrup for a few seconds. Let the excess syrup drip off.
7) Place on a plate and let dry a little bit. Refrigerate.
------------------------------------------------
Hints
1) If you want dryer koeksisters replace butter with 30 mL (2 tbl) cooking oil. Add with egg and milk instead of powders.
2) In order to prevent syrup from heating up too fast while dipping the koeksisters, use a large bowl and put ice in the bottom. Line this bowl with plastic wrap, and then put syrup in.
If any of you have trouble finding glycerin, I found some at Michael's in their cake decorating section.

Hey! I've never posted on here before, so I figured I'd introduce myself.
I'm also a December filer, and I was wondering what happens once my I-129f gets approved.
What papers should I send to him. Once he's here, what forms should I file after we've gotten married?
If anyone could give me a guide from i129f approval until we can live a normal (meaning not having to file anything in order to be together) life, that would be great.

Thanks!!! Hopefully they won't have any problems approving me with all the proof I give 'em! lol. Congratulations on your NOA2 by the way.. I just sat down and read through the last pages that I've missed over the past week.
