You're merely stating what you know to be true, that could never offend me :-) That was very helpful, thank you.

I agree with you.

I do speak English.... but it is not fluent... Wonderful advice. Thank you too.

Everyone has a different situation and some reason. In your case is very specific status. Firstly, you don't meet to the immigration law to apply US citizenship. Some of visajourney member can advice to you, but your case is big different issue for us. Your case is better to ask the professional adviser such as an immigration lawyer. Nobody can help you without a professional knwoledge about immigration law. Find a right person and ask to the person. Good luck.

I am sorry to hear your bad situation in USA. I hope you will be happy with the truth.

how can I fill out my name on I-864? My family name has been changed to my husband's family name?

shortly. EAD stands for Employment Authorization Document (I-765).

I am so sorry to hear that. I watched the news. We say that is stupid bureaucratism.

I can imagine how they did do.

It's bureaucratic red tape. I hope you have a victory to the action by family law of USA.

US Family Law will take side with you.

Hello, VJ member.

I wonder what I should prepare after POE. I am going to bring all original copies documents with me for next step.

Please let me know. I don't want to wast time. I wasted my time to get my K1 visa. Thank you.

Hey!

My POE will be at JFK. I'm excited, but have no idea what to expect :/ Hopefully it will go smooth!

Cogratulations!!! Have a good flight.

Finally, My K1 visa has been approved 25th Oct, 2011. (301 days from NOA 1) It's been a long way.

I am going to move to New York as soon as possible. I booked my flight finally then, my POE will be Chicago.

I wonder the processing of the POE so that what should I pepare for that?

How long does it take the processing time at US custom?

Do I fill in I-94 and custom declaration form? What is form I-94 ?

What should we fill in there?

What about the airport information to transfer to another place?

If you had an experience for O'Hare POE, please give me a good advice.

Thank you. I am looking forward your good informations asap.

Not sure what you are worried about? If you are ready to leave then you can book your tickets on line by looking up the cheapest if that's what you want to do. I flew Delta as I did not want to have to change airlines at LA again as I did that on my first trip. Where are you flying into? I had to change at LA to fly to Atlanta. LA is fine and you will carry with you in your carry on luggage your envelope sealed and your passport with visa inside and when you land you hand that over to customs officer. They will take finger prints and a photo.

The only form you will fill in is on the plane a I-94 a white card and you hand that over in your passport and they will stamp it and return it to you. It will give a date of how long your visit is valid for 90 days.

Tha's it nothing to it really and hopefully your fiancee is waiting for you when you arrive. Have a safe trip

THank you so much for your responding. Barbara. I could get my interview with your advice last time.

My destination is Syracuse, NY. I will fly to Syracuse via Chicago.

I appreciate your good information again.

Thank you, Lyn. I got it. I appreciate all members who replied for my topic. Should I bring my packet 3 copied?

Hehe, Trev is the USC. It's Katie (me!) That's the Aussie going for the interview. We could maybe meet for coffee, although your interview will be done while I'm having mine, and I have to fly back to Brisbane the same day so I might not have time, plus I'm sure if you get approved you'll be way too excited to sit down and have coffee, I know I will be!! I wish you all the best though, where will you be living in the United States if you get approved?

I know a few people have said that they didn't even look at evidence, but I think it might look strange if you turn up with no evidence at all, and I think knowing my luck, if I turned up with nothing, they would ask to see something! I'm taking along cards and emails etc etc just for peace of mind incase they do ask for it, chances are, they wont, but it's good to have all the evidence there with me - plus I'm doing it in a scrapbook so it's easy to carry, plus I can keep it for all the memories etc. I dunno'! I think taking evidence, even if they don't ask for it, is good as it shows you are in a relationship if they do ask, lol.

Are you Katie? kkkk.... I thought you are Trev. Sorry about that. I am going to bring several evidence for my interview as you say. That is not heavy so that carry them and I will show them if they ask me about proving our relationship is going well. You will be realized who I am. Because I will be a first applicant at 8:00 am. Thank you for your remark again.

I am going to live in New York. How about you? Good day.

You really do not need to take all that to your interview. The only thing you need to take is what they asked for as all your evidence is there in your file from the USA. Why would you take all that as odds are they wont ask for it. You can take a few things like letter of intent and some pics but would not worry abour letters or emails and cards OMGoodness they will not even ask for them.

Trust me this is all you need

birth certificate , passport, the original receipt for visa fee and Express post platinum envelop. exactly what they asked for. And you do know you just go to the post office and pay for your visa yes? Keep that receipt and donlt let it out of your site.

Thank you Barbara, Really, I don't need to take all of them without they request to bring them as the chechlist. I printed out all of them already. Thank you for your advice.

Mine is 9am! Good luck!!!

Hi, Trev. I am collecting our evidence for on going our relationship, E-mail, photos, cards of which we sent at the Christmas season. There are lots of things. I am going to bring a heavy documents pack on the interveiw day.

I wish we are approved about our K1 visa on the day. I am already nervous. If you have time, let's have a cup of coffee and chat. See you then. Good luck

Yes, the letter of intent is important and you need one for both you and your fiance. Make sure it's very recent as well (within a week or so).

If you think you could use it, bring it. This is the time you want to bring any/all original documents that you sent copies of in your I-129F packet. All evidence, legal documents, etc. The other half of that is that if you don't think you'll need it, go ahead and bring it as well.

The odds are that you probably won't need most of it or any at all if all of your ducks were in a row to begin with, but you never know what the interviewer might ask for. The last thing that you want to be is unprepared and wish that you had brought something and get denied over something silly.

When Vanessa had her interview she took the K1 packet with her, in the same order we sent it in origianlly, with all of the original documents, and also included updated 'proof/evidence,' We over-prepared and it paid off. Didn't regret it one bit.

Good Luck!

Thank you for your advice. I will bring all documents of which I sent to US consulate and I've got from my financee. Oh, my one of shoulders will feel very heavy weight.

Our interview is on the same day, yay!

I got told to bring another letter of intent (As it's past the expiry date of our NOA2), passport, receipt, and the envelope. But I'm also bringing along with me all the cards we've sent each other throughout the relationship (Birthday cards, Easter cards, cards just to say 'I love you', cards from my parents/his parents when we got engaged, etc) screenshots of text messages (since I can't take my phone into the consulate lol!), as well as a few emails we've sent (random dates), chat logs, phone bills, and photos of us together, also I have been talking to his mom on facebook so I'm going to try and screenshot a couple of those chat logs and take them along too. I'll also be taking along my plane tickets/boarding passes from the times I've flown out there, as well as random receipts of things, lol. I'm doing it in a huge scrapbook as the amount of stuff I have is crazy, and I'd feel silly getting on a plane (From Brisbane) with a box full of paperwork etc.

Thank you. We are same interview date. I will have it on 8:00 am. Good luck

Thanks for bringing up this topic, as I have been watching Igor's timelines too. It look odd when people from Oct 2010 forwards are still waiting, so I had concluded that there must be those who join up in a flurry of enthusiasm and then forget to update when the good news comes.

Please see my time line.

Guys, I need your help for my interview.

I've got the letter for interviewing. I have to bring my birth certificate , passport, the original receipt for visa fee and Express post platinum envelop. However when I read several members states, they brought their photos, letters for evidence of relationship. What should I bring another documents with me? Please give me good informations for my interview. Thank you.
