Caps does not mean shouting. It's a way to be sure to get peoples attention on something that could very well save them a lot of trouble, stress and heartache.

Focus on the message rather than if it was in caps or not as it makes no difference. Again, I am scared for your future spouses if you make a big deal over the use of capital letters. I suspect some type of abuse will happen in the future by your short temper on silly matters.

To those who are offended by caps, I am sorry that small matters like that means so much to you.. I was going to take the time to retype in right case but in the end it would have been the exact same message, just in smaller case and capitals where they should be. Second, I was not being rude. I was actually excited when typing this message because I wanted to help people so they would not have to go through hardships. I know how important it is to be with your spouse and if they have to go back because the two of you didn't do things in a timely matter, I know that would be heart-breaking. You don't have to have a ceramony to get married at first; that can come later. Get married in a courthouse or have a judge come to your house( that is what I did; we will have the ceramony in April)

I wish people would take things with a grain of salt and not get offended over small matters. If little things set you off, I would be afraid to be your spouse; not trying to be rude but just saying....

GET MARRIED AS SOON AS SPOUSE ARRIVES IN USA!!!! I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THIS IS SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO COMPREHEND!

DO NOT PLAN WEDDING CERAMONEY UNTIL SPOUSE ARRIVES IN USA! AGAIN, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY PEOPLE PLAN WEDDING CARAMONY BEFORE SPOUSE ARRIVES OR BEFORE SPOUSE HAS ARRIVAL DATE AND THEN COMPLAIN THAT THE PAPERWORK IS TAKING TOO LONG!

IF YOUR SPOUSE HAS TO LEAVE THE COUNTRY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET MARRIED WITHEN THE 90 DAYS, IT IS YOUR OWN FAULT. 90 DAYS IS MOR THAN ENOUGH TIME TO GET MARRIED!

IF YOU PLANNED A HUGE CERAMONY AND ARE UPSET THAT YOUR SPOUSE WON’T BE HERE WHEN YOU HAD PLANNED, AGAIN..YOUR OWN FAULT! DON'T MAKE PLANS UNTIL THINGS ARE SET IN STONE!

JUST TRYING TO HELP PEOPLE BEFORE THEY REGRET THEIR DESCIONS.

YAY!!!!!!

if you got to ask then you cannot afford it.....seriously, it depends on allot of variables..give us more about your case...

Not to be rude but this is the most offensive answer and pointless...

Are you saying that because someone is curious about the price of something, that they are poor???

I agree with what you have said. I don't think he is mentally prepared to deal with immigration if he can't be 100% open and honest.

Regan,

I've been following your posts, such as when you refused to read any information provided by USCIS, complained that people on here were being mean when they suggested you read the guides, and asked if one of us would put all of our life savings at risk by sponsoring you, someone we don't know, so you could continue to study. Now you are essentially asking for advice on how to mislead your grandfather into signing something.

When I was your age, I was a totally immature wreck who spent my time sitting around drinking and goofing off, so I'm not one to judge. That being said, you're a married man and you are going to be a father in two months. My honest-to-god advice to you is to man up and approach these problems like a mature adult. Mature adults don't run around trying to downplay what their grandfather is getting into, nor do they say "the entire future of my family is on the line, but screw it, I don't want to have to sit around reading this #######!" Mature adults take charge of the situation and do whatever they have to do to make sure their family has it as good as it can get.

I don't know what the solution to all of your problems it, and I wish you the best in resolving them, but it seems to me that you need to adopt a new attitude.

thank you, guys. that makes sense to me. but what if even later we faiil to get married and i would go back after for example...lets say...4 months...what should i expect? ban from entering the USA?

This might make sense to you but it doesn't to me....Why after going through all the paperwork and all the money spent to get here, would you not get married and go back to your country??? This makes no sense to me...

We have the same last name.How could I have been on the utility bill without having a social? I just got one in Dec. We have mail with the same adress.We have pics.We took vacations together.Why would I keep the boarding pass?

You keep the boarding pass because it is very important PROOF!!!!

Not to sound negative but i really hope you don't lash out at the USCIS when they question you about the validity of your marriage like you did on here.

I went and saw my fiance in PI for only 3 weeks. Those 3 weeks were the only time we have been together in person. I came back home with over 700 pictures from a 3 week time period. You only have a few pictures after ten years. I find it hard to believe that your relationship is real. Sorry. But you wanted advice and I am giving you my honest answer.

As for being at the interview with your fiance, I wondered the same thing too... Do I really need to be there?

I emailed the embassy in the Philippines and asked them if I had to show up for the interview. I explained to them that as much as I want to be there for my fiance, I would really like to save the money I would be spending on a round-trip plane ticket and other expenses I would incur while being over there, for when my fiance is able to move here.

They replied back and said that if I choose not to go to the interview, it wont decrease the chance for approval. They said if I choose to go to the interview, it also wouldn't increase the chance for approval. I think it is safe to say that showing up or not showing up wont affect anything.

When my fiance has her interview in Manila, I was just curious if I really need to fly over there to attend it with her? As much as I would love to be there with her, I would also like to save the $1000 plane ticket and other expense money for when she comes over here. I have heard that a lot of the time they prefer the fiance to go to interview alone anyway as that way it doesn't seem like she is being pressured into something she doesn't want to do...

Is there anything my fiance should be doing or checking into while we are waiting for our paperwork to get processed? She lives in the Philippines

This goes out to Gemini and anybody else who will be doing a k1 visa is in the future...

I'm sorry you got denied but when it comes to something important like this, you should always read the directions. Once you read the directions read them again another 2 or 3 times. Once you understand what is needed of you to do, go ahead and gather everything the directions ask you to do. Instead of just putting the basics in what it is asking you to do, put in extra ( I included 3 years of w-2's, 15 pictures, letters from both of my parents stating that there was a relationship between my fiance and me and that they were also in contact with my fiance, and a letter from my employer stating I was currently employed and in great standing at my job. I did all of this just for my I-129F packet) I know some of you might think all that is over-kill but hey, I love my fiance and I want to provide as much evidence as I can to show I care for her.

Ok.. Once your packet is completed(meaning everything the directions asked for) go through your packet over and over checking every signature, date and anything that is important, basically the whole packet.. If you feel that it is missing something or you have a bad feeling in your stomach about it, add more to it until you feel it is perfect. Once it is perfect, give it one final check ( I am glad I did because all the times I went through it before I overlooked a signature)

Do not forget to include a check or money order for the exact amount they are wanting. Not less than they want or not more than they want; the EXACT amount and be sure to follow the directions for filling out the check because they want it a certain way.

I know I have made this longer than needed to be but I am just trying to stress the importance of making sure your packet is correct for your sake and your partners sake. Don't make them wait any longer than needed..

Good luck everyone!!!

Hi everyone - maybe I've just done too much reading & it's all running together......but when do we get a case number that we can check online? After which step?

We have a letter from USCIS saying that they have received our I-130, along with a credit card receipt for our payment. We haven't been waiting terribly long, but I'm an impatient person

If you could tell me at which stage of the process I can start following our paperwork online you'd do me (and my poor husband) a favor! Thanks

You should get a number when you receive your NOA1. it sounds like you should be getting it very soon.. I just got mine last week!! Best of luck!
