Dan & Jenni

countries where there is a lot of fraud are considered high fraud countries lol

only its not quite as clear cut as you make out now is it as the guy got a prenup in place but yet his immigrant wife is working to support them both!?!? that is really not a good example to use!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
imo a prenup is just used by someone who doesnt think the marriage is going to work. a prenup is used in place of actually getting to know someone properly

if they dont understand it then they shouldnt be frikkin signing it!!!!!

i thought i would post this here for you all to read...
My appointment was for 9.30 and after leaving my bag (£3) and my mobile (another £3) at Goulds pharmacy I joined the queue outside the embassy at 8.45. It is all quite simple really and all the staff including the security guards and armed police are friendly and helpful.
I went up to a group of ladies in bright yellow jackets and after checking my name off the list I was sent to join the queue. It moves quite quickly and 30 seconds later an older gentleman checked my passport, MRV fee receipt, and my appointment letter and told me to stand outside the security hut. You are called in to security four at a time and you place all your belongings including your belt if wearing one in to a tray which is x-rayed as you walk through the body scanner. Collect all your stuff, exit the security hut and follow the building round to the right, up some stairs and in to reception where a lady will book you in and attach a sticker to your appointment letter. I was number I912. You then go up some stairs and in to a large room full of seats and TV screens across the middle.
“I” numbers are few and far between so listen to the announcements and watch the screens so you don’t miss it. After about 45 minutes I was called to window 1 where I was greeted by a quiet speaking Chinese lady... she was nice and polite but I really did have to listen carefully to what was being said. I was asked for my birth certificate and copy, my police certificate and copy, passport and 2 passport photos, and then the I-134 from my sponsor. The only evidence she took to go with the I-134 was Jenni’s letter of employment... no wage slips and no tax returns etc where asked for. I gave my fingerprints, took the DXsecure delivery form and went and sat back down.
2 ½ hours later I was called up to window 15 for my interview where I was met by a friendly American guy who took my fingerprints and had me raise my right hand (don’t worry he finds it amusing when you raise your left hand by mistake lol) and say I do for the oath part. He started flicking through my file and asking questions which where all related to the previous question so it made it seem quite informal and not at all like an interview.
How did we meet??
How did our relationship progress??
What was it about this girl that made me want to marry her after only spending a short amount of time together in person??
Did I know she was previously married??
What did I know about her ex??
How old where her 2 children??
What kind of things where they in to??
He then asked about why I had ticked yes for question 38 on form DS-156 “Have you ever been arrested or charged with an offence...”. I was done for driving without insurance about 15 years ago and I told him and he just said it is fine. I got the impression that he was impressed by my honesty as he said it was something that most people tend to “forget about” as there is no record of it on the police certificate or on a subject access request. Next he asked me about Jenni’s income as it falls slightly short of the requirement as she works hours to suit the children. I told him she would go full time when I got there but I had a co-sponsor anyway if it was needed. He took the co-sponsors I-134, looked at it and said “thats fine... we just like to have it on record”. He didn’t take any supporting evidence whatsoever. I then signed form DS-156K. He then looked at me and said... “all there is left to do now is congratulate you on your visa... you can stop being so nervous now”
He handed me back my original documents and a CD with my chest xray on it, explained about the “do not open” envelope and POE, and then I thanked him a million times before I went and paid for delivery of my visa.
Job done and all in all it was painless and a lot easier than I thought it would be.
What I took with me which was actually needed on the day...
MRV fee receipt.
Appointment letter.
Passport.
2x passport photos. Can be done at Goulds pharmacy or in the embassy for £5.
Birth certificate and copy.
Police certificate and copy.
Sponsors I-134 and financial info which was just the letter of employment.
Co-sponsors I-134.
What I took that wasn’t needed on the day...
Subject access and copy (only possibly needed if you tick yes to question 38 on DS-156)
Sponsors financial info... tax return, W2, pay slips.
Co-sponsors financial info... tax return, W2, pay slips, employment letter.
Updated letters of intent to marry.
Spare copies of all the DS forms submitted as part of “packet 3”.
NOTE: I did not take any evidence of ongoing relationship, nor was I asked for it.
Things I noticed others have a problem with...
No matter how many times people outside where told not to take anything electronic in to the embassy, people were still being asked to leave security and dispose of things... mainly headphones. Goulds pharmacy is 2 minutes away and is relatively cheap (£3 per bag and £3 for any number of electronic items) and it seems secure.
Pay the visa fee BEFORE you attend the interview as you need the MRV fee receipt. A guy was allowed in without it but the lady doing document intake was seriously pissed with him and I noticed that his actual interview was over within 2 minutes and he left the building without paying for delivery of his visa.
My advice to everyone else...
Read through the embassy reviews on VJ and get a feel for the questions you will be asked. They are things you really should know the answer to but I found it helpful to know basically what questions where coming next as it seems like each interviewer has their own list that they ask from.
If there are any issues that you know of then do your research and be prepared for them by obtaining extra documents.
Be prepared to spend 4-5 hours in the embassy so take a book or something... oh and a pen to fill in the DXsecure form. You also need a credit/debit card to pay for the delivery of your visa.

after everything that you have said i get the feeling that you have self esteem and trust issues and that she was just a "trophy bride" to you anyway so what did you expect really??

How about you wait your turn like everyone else has to?? Nothing you do will speed it up and if you start doing the things you talk about then I honestly hope they 'misplace' your file for a while

big brother might not be watching you but i definitely am

it was all my idea but i got Nich-Nick to start it up and supply most of the info because i dont like the limelight

:thumbs: they wont even look to see if your case is lost or not until it is outside whatever the current processing time is

why are you so worried that it might be lost?? that was something that never once crossed my mind because i can honestly say that i havent ever seen a case of it happening on VJ.
just as night follows day... NOA2 will follow NOA1. it might not happen quite so quickly as that but it will happen because your case is exactly where it should be... sat in a box at USCIS along with every one elses that filed when you did

"...grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change..."
Instead of worrying about something that is currently out of your control, start preparing for the post-NOA2 activity. Get your tax transcript ordered, line up the letter from your employer, put together the ongoing relationship information if that's required of the embassy...

:thumbs: they wont even look to see if your case is lost or not until it is outside whatever the current processing time is

before you rush off to find all these forms to fill out you really need to talk to someone with knowledge of your specific embassy as they are all different in what forms they require and the way they do things. for a K-1 it might be some if not all of DS-156, DS-156K, DS-157, DS-230 part 1 & 2... there might also be others that Moldova requires.

now that is a good point and i certainly hope that is the case... it would be good to see that there are some decent attorneys out there that know how to deal with the more difficult consulates around the world

:thumbs: i totally agree with you on this but the fact that the OP is basically asking "what next" tells me that even if an attorney is needed in this case then this probably isnt the best attorney to have

you do know the difference between fiance and wife right??

when you fill in the answers in part 1, press enter after each answer and certian questions in part 2 will autofill

i think it is mean and very unfair that USCIS dont put the OP's case to the top of the pile... the OP is obviously far more important and deserving than any one else that submits a petition

the addresses just make it look more professional but i dont think that USCIS honestly cares so long as it states that you are free to marry and will do so within 90 days. put your address and then "to whom it may concern" or something like that and it will be fine

this is from a thread from a couple of days ago...
