Im glad for the increase in approvals...to those that havent been approved just keep praying and try to keep your mind occupied with other stuff. No sense in thinking about it...it will happen its just a matter of when. Good luck to all....

thats what I thought...my intuition serves me right. Umm thank you everybody for your info. Please continue to respond. Thanks

So, I have already filed for K-1 Visa and Im planning to file CRBA for our child that is on the way. My girlfriend wanted me to speak with a friend of hers that is dating someone that has been through theses kind of situation or so he says. I spoke with him on Sunday and he was very adamant that any child born abroad to US citizen cannot receive citizenship of the US and that it is important that the child is born here. Is this true? My intuition says no because How is it that the US govt creates a law that can not be used. didnt make sense to me when he said it and for the sake of my girlfriend I didnt argue with him. Next question is he went on to say that he can have my girlfriend here in 2 months with the help of commercial visa personnel and lawyers. Once again my intuition went berserk thinking that this sounds like visa fraud to me...and being an engineer I dont want a situation if im trying to apply for Top Secret clearance I get denied because of a silly mistake such as this one. I dont know and Im seeking advice from you guys. Does any of this sound legit or does it smell a bit funky to you? Let me know. I told my girlfriend that we should just be patient and wait it out if all goes well she can be here in 10 months or less and our baby will have citizenship through CRBA. Was this the right thing to say? Thanks

Hamtaro...please calm the #### down before you give yourself a heart attack....JEEEZ like i think you beat the Visajourney post record in the first 3 minutes of making one. Relax...and solve the problem..being frantic about it...doesnt solve anything. smh

Yay, Documents have been delivered to USCIS Texas lockbox as of May 13, 2011, 5:29 am this morning. Now waiting for check to be cashed

***Updating Timeline in signature***

yeah, i have it in my mind that i wont receive any news till about November/December or so as far as NOA2

Yay, Im being Moved

So, after careful checking of documents and making sure everything is there, I have sent off our Application for K-1 Visa about 10 min ago. It wasnt easy and it took forever to prepare documents almost 3 weeks after receiving papers from the Misses (total of 5 weeks). But Im glad and now the wait begins. For all you guys that have started this process, dont give up. If you truly want it you'll be patient and hope for the best. Prayer is always a good method to fall back on in times of worry and strife. Thank all of you guys for your info and support and there will be plenty in the times to come.

With what you Guys are saying...ill lighten the load a little. I agree with wat one of you said about quality vs quantity. Also less info might speed up the process. Lets say I cut it down to 1/3 of its amount. Think we are good?

@Daniel&Theary Photos with family members? hmm i didnt know. Okay ill add pics of me and her mom, and her God mom. =) Thanks everybody for your help. Im gonna look over it all, and tomorrow it goes out Cant wait to get NOA1 I hope.

Actually a good question, I put originals but id like to put copies if possible incase of anything that might happen.

awesome thanks Patient2010. btw we share the same country of origin. Naija all the way =)

1 online phone card company bill = 2 pages

15 photos from my trip to Russia in december where we went to Kiev and Odessa in Ukraine, and Moscow, Izhevsk, and Zavyalovo in Russia

30 Pages of Skype Messages which include Phone conversation Time stamp. (I had to cut it down from 150 pages...it wasnt easy)

I can guarantee the same results for only $550. Send the money to me instead.

Hahaha That response is so hilarious. =)

This is a Super Scam RUN AWAY and burn this email.

The Letters of Intent to Marry and the G325A Form...Do they have to be notorized? I dont remember reading on the guide that it did. Just wondering. Thanks

Wow im suprised that they dont except skype messages. Well I will add them anyways...doesnt hurt. maybe 5 pages at max. Thanks for the info guys. I should be ready to submit the application no later than April 25th...and then the waiting begins. Im praying for a speedy delivery to and from USCIS

Yay Congrtas

Ive been trying to prepare the documents as I await the paperwork sent by my significant other i.e G325A forms and what not. And Ive been trying to figure out the best way to print emails, skype msgs, and chat msgs. Should I copy them to word then print them? or print them directly from the website i.e Yahoo, gmail, etc. Thanks

Yeah Ive thought of it. But I dont know how to go about moving there or if anything move to somewhere else...somewhere in europe. Thats what we both wanted to do.

Awesome you guys rock. Thanks thats good news as far as finacially...cause with K-1 and CBRA lets just say christmas this year is gonna be a sad one T_T

Hello

Me and my gf are about to have a baby, exciting yes I know, and I had a couple questions of how to get the child citizenship under the Child born abroad to one USC parent (father). What forms would I need? I wasnt sure if I needed the N-600 Form or the CBRA Form from the Consulate or both. I read somewhere that a certificate of citizenship and a CBRA are equal but one cost 4 times as much as the other. Anyways Any info would gladly help, I like planning ahead just incase. thanks

Yozhik

Congrats. Now I cant wait to start the process. =) Reading these stories makes it easier to endure the process of waiting. =)

Yeah, I agree with the guy above. You could have just gotten a Tourist visa for 3 months. Well I guess it was worth it =\ hmm, I wonder if USCIS allows people to trade their unwanted K-1's....just kidding. Congrats once again

My girlfriend knew how much I wanted her to be here in the States with me...so she decided to send this to me as a Joke, boy did I feel stupid after reading it for the 10th time realizing that it was a scam. I actually told some people before realizing it was fake. Then sent her an email saying that dont respond to it, its a Scam. Then she said, I already knew that...I just thought it was funny to send it to you. Man she is slick =P
