Wait until they're assaulted or they get tired of being creeped-out.

Thread is moved from the DCF forum to the Philippines regional forum.

For any consular interview, it's far preferable to have more than you need than to need more than you have. Very happy to hear about the successful outcome!

That's what we're here for, and optimally what you can expect. Do as much reading here as you possibly can, and become an "A" student of the entire immigration process. Also, complete your VJ Timeline -- it will help people to help you. Here's a look back at my own journey: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/410945-k-1-journey-completed/ This is true. The letter of intent is a stand-alone document, and required. Depending on how tough the consulate is plus other factors, you might opt to include something like a relationship timeline in the I-129F petition package.

If she's writing her love story, anyone proficient in that language can translate it and accompany the translation with the "translator's certificate" (template available here on VJ). You may even do it.

Scintillating Wednesday repartee, yawn man. ----- Thrilling Wednesday report, see man: Today is our Many'th (2x2x2 +2th) anniversary of having been appointed a VJ Mod, or man. Miu awoke us by perching on our stomach in hopes of breakfast service, expectant miu man. We did not leave the casa except to skool/deskool Mini-B., torpid we man. Lunch was toucans of chicken noodle soup, ingest we man. Din-din was 2 "Hungry Man" boneless-chicken din-dins, ingest Two Guys man. Still feeling our way through Mini-B.'s limited phone usage, man. Already brushed miu twice and played feather-rollers with her once, needy miu man. Party with the rubias later, cavort we man.

Welcome to the forum! The letter of intent needs to be in English, for USCIS's purposes. You can send her the text, she prints it, signs it, and scans it back to you. At the consular interview, she'll have the option of interviewing in her native language, if she's interviewing in one of the languages prevalent in the country where she's interviewing (e.g., Algeria = French or Arabic).

Never assume anything at the consular level.

After Third Infection, COVID Desperately Seeks Vaccine Against Whoopi Goldberg NEW YORK, NY — Now entering its third encounter with Whoopi Goldberg, the COVID virus has begun desperately searching for a vaccine against the talk show host.

Philadelphia's "Outlaw" Police Commissioner is resigning After just three largely disastrous years on the job, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw will be resigning later this month.

Comments? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UK: you may soon go to jail if you don't upgrade your energy efficiency [...] The UK -- which is still led by the Tories only because Labour is even worse -- is looking to undo the Industrial Revolution. In a ridiculous bid to save Gaia from an imagined threat, the government is proposing to create new criminal laws that would imprison and fine people for not complying with new energy efficiency standards. Soon they will make excessive energy use -- and that will be energy use that rises above "Net Zero" -- could be a criminal offense.

This is very readable. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Trashing the Constitution Just to Get Trump [...] Here's the hitch. Trump has never been convicted of insurrection, and none of his prosecutors -- not Jack Smith nor Fani Willis -- is charging him with insurrection. The House of Representatives impeached him, accusing him of insurrection, but he was acquitted. So, zero convictions, one acquittal. Even so, left-wing group Free Speech For People has sent letters to state election officials, including the co-chairs of the New York State Board of Elections, labeling Trump an insurrectionist and telling these officials they have a duty to remove Trump from the ballot, just as they would be obligated to remove any presidential aspirant who had not reached the age of 35 or was not a natural born citizen. Under this scheme, if Trump wants to be on the ballot, he'll have to go to court and prove his innocence.
