So I'm getting near my filing date and I'm collecting more and more and more pages! I was wondering if any of you had advice on how to index the pages, add tabs, and keep the whole thing together (binders or such) I'm aiming to get everything as organized possible so I can see everything well before I send it off and they can find things easily when they get it. Thanks for your advice

PS: Did any of you get nervous and antsy in the days before you filed? I've had all these nervous habits lately since I'm so conerned about making it perfect, lol!

Thank you so much for your help! I'll definitely get all that included and I dug up my notification that my student visa had been granted, so that's going in there too!

Thank you

I do have entry and exit dates that match the boarding passes, I even have a working permit under a student visa for working in Australia. Will that help as proof?

I was reading through the RFE tips thread and found a few things that have me worried as I'm gathering everything for the I-129F packet

One was proof of meeting in the past two years. We have pictures, airline ticket stubs and passport stamps to start with, but it says that since ticket stubs don't have the year they are not acceptable as primary evidence! We lived together for 5 months in Australia, though my name was never on the apartment lease, I do have envelopes addressed to me there with dated stamps and he has bills addressed to him at the same address with dates. Will this be good enough? If not, what else can be done to support the passport stamps and ticket stubs?

(Note: In my passport, I'm shown entry into Australia at Melbourne, which is also where he lives. Will this be helpful at all since the PoE is the also his place of residence?)

I'm looking to file by next week, so I'll be a February filer as well! We've been scrambling to get things togeter since we'd been planning on a DCF after a July wedding, but I've got the info from him and original signed forms that I need and just have to finish things up on my end.

Anyone have advice?

Good luck to you who have already sent them in!

Australian hospitatlity is fantastic as always! Thank you so much for your welcome! Rob currently lives in Box Hill (I spent 5 months with him there last year). I miss Melbourne! Such a lovely place and I loved being able to go anywhere and not having to worry about driving! The people were just wonderful as well and I can happily say that should we ever decide to move back to Melbourne, I'd be quite happy there.

I am currently waiting for a few forms and copies to arrive in the mail from Rob (my fiance) and next weekend we're planning on going through things and triple checking everything so I can send it off by Valentine's day to get the ball rolling. Patience DOES seem to be a needed value with processing times and the tedious work of filling out forms. I'm just grateful I ended up deciding to live with him as that will help our case for proof or relationship. I get to see him again in March, so we're fortunate to not have to go so long without seeing one another. Any more advice on filing for the K-1 is always welcomed!

Thanks again for the warm welcome!

Hi everyone! Congrats on the couple that just got approved ^^ that's so wonderful to hear!

My name is Cherie and I'm currently engaged to an Aussie from Melbourne. We were going to do a DCF after a July wedding here in the states, but with the new policy we're going the route of the K-1 visa and getting things assembled so I can send everything off. Any advice you have as far as filing a K-1 would be helpful! I look forward to getting to know you

Thank you for your warm welcome everyone!

I'll be around the Aussie forum soon

My name is Cherie and I'm currently engaged to a wonderful Aussie. We had been planning a marriage in July, then using a DCF to get him over here once we were married. However, with the new policy change, we've decided to go the route of the K-1 visa.

I look forward to getting to know you all, and my fiance should be joining here shortly!
