Barbara, I am praying for you and your family. May God be with you during this difficult time. Being a single parent is the hardest job in the world. Is there any amount of money that can replace the absence of a father in his children's daily life?

Barbara, truly I will pray for you during this very difficult time. I do not understand how you could be selfish for asking for more than what is being offered. What amount of money can replace a father's daily presence in the life of their child? In this case he is walking away from them as his own free choice. Responsibity for raising children is the hardest job in the world. Please count on my prayers. May God be with you and your children.

My husband got the visa on Sept. 8, this year. He is schedule to arrive in the U.S. on Nov. 11. Are there any more forms that must be filled out? What steps follow?

Thanks,

Hi, my husband is preparing for the interview (with US Consulate in Germany) part of our process in August. We were married last year at this time in Germany. Yes, it has been hard to wait for this process! Anyway, is there any advice or tips that could help with the interview?

Thanks,

My fiance and I intend to marry in Germany within 2-3 months. We plan to live together after we are married for 6 months. My fiance says that 1 week after living with him in Germany we are required to register (my) name and place of residence with the authorities. This will be an official document stating that I am living with him. Is this sufficient evidence of our relationship to prove that my fiance and I have joint tenancy of a common residence? My fiance is trying to avoid informing the landlord about my presence in the case that it would cause problems since his apartment is only for 1 person. Thanks to any anyone who can advise.

I am not sure if most met online.

If you met online, and since you only "met" 6months ago. You will have to be more creative in finding proof of bona fide relationship if you haven't lived together or even met each other yet. Make sure you provide as much evidence as you can and check out what constitutes primary evidence. If I were in that situation, I might organise papers to have joint accounts/insurance etc for when you go over there so that you can show proof of mingling of finances as part of your application.

Read page3, "What documents do youneed to prove family relationship"

Best of luck and congratulations on deciding to get married!

TrinityLupe Repy: Thank you for the reply. All replies I find helpful. The mingling of finances I did read about as part of the I130 application. After we marry he will add my name to his finances. When we come to the US we want to relocate to Vermont (I am now in Texas,) preferably near Brattleboro. I am concerned about finding work there. I currently work as substitute for the school district, but I am willing to take a simple job at Wal-mart in Vermont simply to get there and pay for a place for us until he finds work. Do you recommend any sites helpful in this, as I have googled many times finding work in Vermont but am not satisfied with results.

My fiance and I wish to marry within 2-3 months in Germany, then we wish to file the I-130 with joint Affidavit of support as I am a student and cannot support him financially. We met online 6 months ago. I am told we will have difficulty getting approved because we met online. Does anyone have advice about my situation?
