AGUA FRIA

Congratulations reyna. I am an I2USer too, although I don't post a lot. I'm glad to know it is not my connection. I was receiving a banned message and emailed and the reply was that no one was banned and to try again. Glad I'm not going crazy. It's kinda funny, because I feel like I really need it now, since my finace's interview is on July 19 and I'm sooo not ready.

My little comment is to trust your instincts... Remember love is patient and kind. Please ensure you spend your time, money, and effort on someone who loves you. You might want to give it some more much needed thought.

I, the USC, didn't send my fiance's birth certificate. I filed through the Vermont Service Center and received no RFE.

All of my attachments were signed. On the back of each picture I submitted, I wrote the month and year the photo was taken. You could probably do the the same with your DVD still photo.

The photo shop provided me with two of my passport-style photos. I kept one with my copy and sent the other.

Remember you only need proof to show that you have met in the past two years. I included seven photographs of my fiance, some with just the two of us and some with family. On the back of each photo I wrote the month and year. I also included a copy of my entry stamp from my passport, copies of my boarding passes, a copy of a money gram, sent by my sister (I ran out of money ), and a copy of the receipt showing I paid the exit tariff.

The birth certificate of the beneficiary isn't required at this point. I didn't include my foreign fiance's certificate and all went well with no RFE. Good Luck :0)

Yeah--I received notification today, via email, that my I129F petition has been approved.

stevo, I wasn't being sarcastic in my post yesterday. I was genuinely concerned because others from Vermont had more 'touches.' I am truly thankful and thank you for putting it in perspective.

Ok. I'm a little worried that I might have an RFE. My file hasn't been touched since 02/10/07. It's been almost two weeks and nothing...

I just called my bank; my check was cashed on 02/09/07. GabachaYucatea, I sent my application USPS Express Mail. The NOA1 was generated the day after they received the packet.

I registered with USCIS site and the last update was 02/10/07. Since VSC is known for being swift, I'm hoping to hear something soon. I keep forgetting to check to see if my check has been cashed. Since I had a certified draft drawn from my account, I have to call the bank.

Yeah!! I have my NOA1 in my hand today. I haven't checked my mail in a few days. Here we go...

I'm a February filer too. I sent my packet out USPS Express mail on 02/05/07. I was so nervous, I trashed the tracking number It was a good thing I requested a return receipt, which I received on Friday. Good luck and God Bless to all the February filers.

Hi GabachaYucatea,

I pretty much did the same thing you did. I had plenty of unemployment lines. I attached an extra sheet w/ a chart similar to the one on the application. I mailed my application yesterday, so I'm praying all goes well. I'll let you know.

Thanks for the reply. I was able to get information for 4 of the 7, so I just take wild guesses on the remaining.

My fiance worked for 7 different companies in the last five years (I know that is a lot ). Unfortunately, he doesn't remember the months he was employed. The employment records we do have only lists the year of employment, not the month. My question is: How important is it to have the exact month of employment?

I'm sorry, but I have one last question ....

Does anyone know if the other names used fields are for legal name changes? My fiance's name is Carlos, but many in his family and I call him Richard. This is just a nickname he's had since youth and I wasn't sure if later in the process I called him Richard (say in an interview), it would cause a problem.

Hi all,

My fiance doesn't have a standard address. On the I-129F and G-325A and has street and number; however, my fiance doesn't have a street or number. The address is just the small town, city, and country. When the mail arrives in the city, it is delivered to his small town by name only. Does anyone foresee any problems with entering his towns name where it says street and number. Thanks in advance for the replies.

Thank you all for the replies.

My fiance's mother and father are deceased. They passed away when he was 12 years old. We have the exact birth date and death date of his father; however, we are researching the dates for his mother. Since they are deceased, is it okay for us to write their country of birth and write deceased in the 'City and Country of Residence' box.
