Hi there Angilla and all the French/American couples.

Well I registered on VJ when I first started the K1 process and haven't really used it since then. But time has passed.

I have yet to learn how to post my timeline, sorry I've been pretty busy lately.

But just so people no more about me...

I'm the Frenchie of the couple. I live in the South-Western part of France (Pau to be more precise) and my fiancé is from Texas but currently lives in Tennessee.

I got my interview date with the US embassy in Paris a couple of days ago and I'm sooo excited.

I wish I could have spent Xmas break with my fiancé but I guess I'll have to wait because my interview is on the 3rd of January.

By the way, how long does it usually take to get the visa after the interview (if you've been approved of course!)?

Is the interview that stressful?! Personally, I don't feel too worried about it? Should I be?

My fiancé speaks French and has been studying in France for a semester a couple of years ago (that's when we met). I've also studied English so language has never really been a problem for us.

As for the French "r" Angilla, I wouldn't worry too much. I will probably never be able to pronunce the American "r" anyways!!! And American people speaking French with an accent is just so cute!

Well I guess that's all I can really say about me... I'll keep you all posted when I get approved and when I get MARRIED (man, I just can't wait!).

After the wedding we plan on filing for adjustment of status with the Dallas Program (even though my fiancé is in TN right now, we are going to live in TX). Hopefully that gets me a green card pretty fast so I can be free to plan a wedding with my family and friends in France.

Hi everyone,

My fiancé and I (I'm the foreign one and he's the US citizen) have sent out the I129F and all the documents. I've been advised to start looking at a list of papers I'll need to have gathered by the time the petition got approved and the foreign embassy contacts me.

My question concerns the police clearance certificates. I have been living for 10 months in the US as an exchange student and I want to know if any of your foreign fiancé(e) who already got the visa application packet sent by the embassy got information about the police certificates.

My homecountry only makes nation-wide certificates so I can't get one for each cities I lived in but I'm assuming that will be ok (since it's a national record). I stumbled accross a website when I was looking for information where it said that if the visa benificiary lived in a foreign country for less than 12 months, they don't need to get a police certificate from this country... but I can't find this information anymore and I'm not even sure it was applicable to K1 visa.

Can anyone help me out?

Also I'd really like to get some informations and testimonies about how long each step of your application process took? My US fiancé has filed with Texas USCIS... how long does it take? Tell me about your case...

Thanks in advance for your help,
