Well we sent back the P3 and now waiting for the P4 and appointment date. It stated in the OF-169 that there's an immigrant visa fee of 3078RMB ($380) due at the time of the apointment. Does this apply to our case?

I think thats for CR-1/IR-1 visas. With a K-1 you need pay $100 or equivalent in local currency if they accept it.

Sweet thanks

P3 Received!!!!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. AoS Application $395 > now $1010 July 31 ::Dies::

Well called the DoS today and found out the P3 was sent out June 19th. I hope they sent it to the correct address. We had to change it via fax. Now it seems we'll be getting the interview soon! Here's hoping!

Ahh you used a lawyer.... not me. Too much money to spend on someone else messing up work they're going to make me do anyways. You don't need an additional letter of how you met in person unless it wouldn't fit in the box for Question #18 on the I-129F form... and the cover letter is probably the one thing done by the lawyer... and he/she probably passes it off on his/her secretary or paralegal

damg...and for that we are paying 5000$

Wow $5000 That's outrageous. I only recommend a lawyer if it's getting complicated. I was considering it at first because lawyers tend to put the fear in you (no offense to you lawyers out there reading this ) but then I just decided to go for it. I did plenty of research first. Google = friend

I'm kinda stunned about how fast it was. Here's my package contents in order if you're curious...

(and everything was paper clipped together if you're wondering...)

- Cover Letter

- Payment in the amount of $170.00.

- I-129F

- I-129F Supplement: Part B, Question #18 labeled and signed by me, explanation of meeting in person

- G-325A and passport style photo (in a ziplock bag paper clipped to each form and labeled with marker) (Petitioner)

- G-325A and passport style photo (in a ziplock bag paper clipped to each form and labeled with marker) (Beneficiary)

- Birth certificate photocopy and US Passport photocopy (I did both)

- Letter certifying intent to marry (Petitioner and Beneficiary)

- Proof of having met in person in the past two years (photocopies of my plane tickets, and an envelop of pictures with dates written on the back)

Did next-day delivery on the 6th, and when I got the first NoA by mail I checked the site everyday for the status. Now I'm working on getting my Affidavit of Support done and notarized. I believe I can get it notarized at my bank, but I'm not sure. They said they think they can. I'm going to research it more.

Sent off my I-129F packet yesterday! Wish me luck bringing my baby over from China!

I'm starting my journey of bringing my lovely fiancee to the US from China... and if any of you have ever been to china, you know that the address system there is all messed up.

My question is: can I fill out the address in chinese characters or must I use PinYin (Roman characters). Also, it might not all fit into the box. Anybody have any experience with this? I'm doing it on the computer. Please advise.
