Congrats to both of you! Enjoy your new life together!

Hawkeyez,

Sorry to hear you have to wait through this "admin process review". But good to hear you don't have to return for another interview. Hope your waiting for the final approval is short!

Thanks A&B, we'll just bring it with us.

Well, I frontloaded my USCIS I-129F Petition with lots of great evidence of relationship. But after reading how it might not make it all to GUZ Embassy in the process, and that I have a lot of great new stuff, was wondering if sending more in advance of the interview was of any value.

Unlockingsky, since ZhuHai is not far from Guangzhou, my Fiancee is going to get the medical done the week before. She doesn't want the stress to get it all done on the Monday before.

Hey petition2012, we have the same interview day!

BTW, my Fiancee sent the P3 back on July 26, and we got the interview P4 e-mail on Aug 9 - took 2 weeks

I have printed all my photos from my own printer as well.

Question - we did not do any "further" frontloading when we sent in the P3. I have some great photos from a third visit after I filed my original I-129F, that were taken with her whole family, as well as some additional "evidence of relationship" stuff. Her interview is barely more than 3 weeks away at this point. Would you mail the additional material directly to GUZ, or wait and just have her take it in for the interview?

Thanks!

Hi Darnell.

Can she call days ahead and make an appointment for first thing in the morning, ahead of time?

Thanks!

BTW, fting - best wishes for you and yours

I mean the medical exam, of course.

That is, concerning the "early in the morning"

Congrats and best wishes!

You are correct, the 90 days of the Visa does not start ticking until the POE. I think you should have 6 months from the issuance of teh Visa, to use it to enter.

I said "some" of the strongest evidence, not the strongest evidence. Of course actual time spent together is the strongest evidence! So I don't think I heard wrong.

I'm sure you got some pictures of when you met with her parents, and I've heard that is some of the strongest evidence that can be presented, and you already have that (I didn't meet my Fiancee's parents until my third visit). So maybe one visit is on pretty safe ground, because you have that visit with the parents?

Another visit obviously won't make the case any stronger to get NOA2 from USCIS, but it couldn't hurt to be able to claim two visits at the interview, when that time comes, as pushbrk mentions, (plus you will enjoy seeing your fiancee again! ). See most recent Guangzhou review by jregister (for K1 visa, BTW), question 4, she mentions, was about visits of fiance to China (she answered twice). Not saying it's necessary, but it couldn't hurt, and you would enjoy it obviously (if it's something your budget can handle). Best wishes on your journey.

So happy for you, and what a good story. Didn't waist any time getting that marriage license - haha!

I'm really looking forward to a similar story in the coming weeks!

Congrats once again!

Congrats! And a certificate to boot! HAHA!

When I was looking at how to do the Visa, I mentioned to a close friend about looking at Attorney's, and he said "No No No! You will be wasting your money, and it will take longer! - You can do it yourself!" He had brought in a Fiancee from Russia. So I bought a book on how to do it myself, then I found this Visa Journey community online. This community is fantastic, they have great guides and example forms, and the posting memebers give great advice I don't think an Attorney can match, anyway. That's my feelings.

LeftCoast - sorry to be redundant - I was typing when you posted.

Assuming you are in the K1 process.

When you get your NOA2, it will come with it's own valid time (4 months) until the visa is issued. I hear that time can easily be extended by DOS if time from NOA2 to Visa takes longer.

The 90 days clock only starts ticking after visa issuance at POE into the US.

Hi Gegel and A&B,

Am I reading two different opinions here? Gegel, you say USA, but A&B, it seems by saying "not living in the now, not the future", she would put China down.

A&B, BTW, waiting for interview date, but Ying did send in the P3 now, so should know very soon.

Thanks

Oops, meant in the present, not future.....

AT POE, K-1 Fiancee will fill out the I-94 "White Form" - Arrival/Departure Record, which they will need later for other things like SSN and AOS. Have you noticed, it has a question 4. Country of Citizenship, which of course, their home county would still be the answer, but the usual confusing and ambiguous US form question, is question 8. "Country where you live" - would they now put "US" there, even though they haven't actually started living here yet. They will no longer be living in the country they are entering from......Thanks

Good Luck to you!

I went to the Albania portal on VJ, and it looks like you send it in the mail there, so it is different from China, so ignore me! Good luck on the rest of you K1 journey!

Don't know about Albania, but for China, for packet 3 you do not send in the DS156m DS156K or DS157 or I-134. These you bring to the interview. You do send in DS230 with packet 3 in China. Maybe Albania is different?

Feels great, doesn't it! Congrats!!

Good advice. I've been bugging the nell out of A&B these recent days! Thanks A&B! Great resource for recent applicants.
