Good luck on figuring it out and congrats on the baby!!! Your son still being in the UK should also help if you choose to visit during the visa process (before its issued) as evidence you plan on returning.

Ok sorry all, I was just really irked last night after reading one of those posts that was questionable. I most definitly think everyone should have the chance for love regardless of where your from! Doesnt matter where you find it everyone should be happy. I just irked about people doing it for a visa and lost my cool, sorry all!!! I really need to think before I write stuff...

Ok, I didn't know where to put this, but I'm guessing you all might not yell at me I am really irked that all these men who want wives and go on dating sites and find women from Russia and Phillipines etc are clogging the visa process up and those of us who ACTUALLY love the person we are with have to wait even longer!!! I looked on one of those stupid sites and here's a paragraph I found on the first page:

The Russian woman's attitude about herself is feminine. She expects to be treated as a lady, she is the weaker gender and knows it. The Russian woman has not been exposed to the world of rampant feminism that asserts its rights in America.

#######!!! If you believe that then move to Russia, dont bring her here! No offense to those who have met a SO from one of those countries and have a relationship. I just wish there was a seperate process for those who went out looking for a wife so we could get our fiance's here faster. Granted we have it easier than some other countries since our fiance speaks english and the flight is a lot cheaper so I shouldnt complain too much, but :-P Ok, thanks for letting me rant Hope we all get our visa's SUPER FAST!

Hi all, I just sent my petition in last week so now I'm waiting for the NOA1. I sent it to Nebraska so I wanted to know A) Are those still going on to California? and B.) If it is sent on to CA do I get my NOA1 from CA or NE? (ie it will take several weeks longer for processing ) THANKS!

Great, that's my parents situation too. Thanks!!!

Hey all, I am a student living off student loans, so I'm using my parents as my co-sponsors. They are both retired however and therefore living off pensions/savings. Does anyone know if this will effect my petition? Thanks!

Just sent in petition today!!! WOO HOO!!! No RFE'S!!!!

Thanks, that's what I was thinking but wanted to check!

I'm not positive, but I think I wrote K1 Visa, I-129F - or something to that effect.

Hi all, I am submitting my petition tomorrow I am writing the check and want to know if there is anything we are supposed to put in the FOR line? I didnt see anything on the USCIS website but dont know if I missed anything. Thanks!

Hi all, I am submitting for a K-1. I am a student, and have been well, forever! My mother has agreed to co-sponsor my fiance, but she doesnt want to supply her income because she doesnt think it's any of his business. SHe owns 2 homes and we share bonds that are worth quite a lot. If we put that and other similar assets, can we leave off her income? By the way she is retired, so she has her pention and her salary since she hates sitting around! Thanks so much!!!

Also, how much does a life insurance policy matter towards assests, since I noticed there's a spot for it. Thanks!

I'm doing the groundwork now and have bought a dress (I'll need that no matter when the wedding is!) but we are waiting for his interview date to set the date. We are doing it on a weekday, which most people have open AND you get discounts!

I am confused by your question. How many times have you met in the last 2 years? You need to prove that you've met in the last 2 years, dont' worry about things over that. I'm probably misreading your post but it sounds like you are worried about evidence for the first year of your relationship which you dont need to be! Submit the passport stamps and plane tickets etc. Gather as much as you can, but focus on the last two years, not the first year. Hope this doesnt sound stupid!

Just on the subject of photos, I've been going out with my fiancee now for 3 years in march. The only proof I have of us meeting in the over the 2 years is photos during the summer and her 21st. Our first trip away together wasn't until the following summer which would only be a year a half ago. We've been abroad numerous times but all under the 2 year mark. I take it won't be worth submitting our passports with stamps? Are the photos going to be enough. I've e-mails but thats it. Kinda frustrating as I'm unsure and worried. I know we've met over 2 years ago and I've plenty of people who could swear to it but I've to convince the people reading my application!!

Thank u in advance for ur help guys. People on here are so helpful.

I'm not intending to hijack the thread I figured I had a question about photos too so it saved starting another thread

You guys are amazing !!!! Lightning speed replies. Thanks for such quick reply guys :-)

Sure I do have the passport stamps with dates on them and all tickets except one. (however I do have the return which proves I did go there to come back. ) I guess I'll attach about 6 photos and another 6 phone bills from each of us is what I'll attach.

Now for the interview (assuming my petition gets approved), do we use the same submitted evidence or we still need to provide the more current emails and phone records.

As far as extra relationship evidence was concerned, I think we put in about 6 pictures, and a small selection of phone records. That's it.

We saved everything else for the interview.

What other documents do we need to keep gathering from now onwards for the interview process ? Any ideas would be helpful.

Thanks again.

To prove ongoing relationship, engagement ring receipts are quite good, new letter of intent to marry from both of you, letters, emails, phone records etc.

The stuff which may take the longest times are police reports, birth certificates, name change documents, divorce certificates etc, and all of these translated.

I did a short 3-4 sentance thing to say we'd met at MSU and seen each other 6 times and then did an attachment that included a more detailed description of how we met (Paul studying abroad in the US), how many times we've seen each other (6) and the dates. It was 3 paragraphs long.

FYI, the only change I noticed from the old form to the new was in part C the question regarding have you ever committed the following crimes... now has a yes/no box to check.

I had a problem at first, then I went to control panel and internet options deleted my files and cookies. I was then able to view the file on USCIS wesite. My question still remains, I filed last week will this affect my petition. especially since it is only availabel today and not last Thursday when my petition was sent?

They cannot ask you to file on a form last week that was not available until today...

Thank You

You are a gem, I don't know how many people truely appreciate the information that and a few others give.

for the record I would like to say that the people of VJ especially including yourself and a handful of others, are extremely informative and give up-to-date information.

I will sleep better tonight

Again, Thanks

Thanks for this message!!! I didnt notice that date! I just checked, and they added a yes/no box to part C. Q. 2 that says have you ever been convicted for any of the following crimes...

I'm printing off the new one and sending that. The version says 11/24/06 and no versions before that.

Oh, and I downloaded the form at 10:30 PM and it expires 1/31/2010

Same situation. I listed my permanent address and then put my college address and one of my abroad addresses, but I dont have one for my other study abroad program, so I didnt put that down. For work I just have a ALOT of different positions and a LOT of unemployed/students :-D

I am in the almost exact same position so I'd also benefit from a nice answer

Hi all, I'm sure this is small, but I want everything to go smoothly. Almost ready to file 129F. My fiance is a citizen of the UK, lived there since he was 2 but was born in Berlin since his father was stationed there (he was in the army). Will this raise any questions/ should I include an explanation. Thanks so much!!!

You can also add a page on the back as long as you sign it.

I filled in certain areas by hand if typing didn't fit in the box. Shouldn't be a problem.

YAYAYAYAY!!!! Congrats!

Hello everyone,

I want to say my noa2 came today, I was getting so tired of waiting and just like everyone says, when you are getting fed up with waiting, it comes. Ok well on to the next step.

My fiance want the same thing and we decided to do it on a Thursday. The reception cite and ceremony cite arent' booked most weekdays (2-3 months notice is fine) and most florists, caterers etc give discounts then too! Something to think about. Or do justice of the peace and plan the wedding after that.

Hi all, my fiance is from the UK. Can he go and get a normal passport pic there (he thinks they are more rectangular than the US but the head size is the same) or does he need a specialy sized one? Thanks!!!

I would use his parents address. He will get mail there for years to come, but once he graduates, its iffy if he will get forwarded mail.

Thanks everyone!!!

Hey there, I just got these 2 weeks ago and the revised date on the bottom is July 06 and the top is 5/31/09. I called the automated voice system and got them within 10 days. Good service for me!

Are those carbon copies still good? I remember they sent me those but I downloaded the forms because I thought those were expired... Just checkin'

Hi all, I requested a copy of the G325-a form from the government and it comes with carbon between the pages, not the multiple single pages that you would download. For the carbon form, do you have to hand sign each page or will the top signature pressing through be ok? thanks!!!

What exactly are we supposed to include in the letter of intent and are the different for the party in the US and the party outside? thanks!!!
