Welcome to the forum! Your thread is shifted from the CR-1 Case Progress subforum to the CR-1 Process forum. You can put this under "other names used" on the I-130 petition, or attach an explanatory page of one or two sentences.

Is the beneficiary German? If so, it's a low-fraud consulate, so you need not front-load the petition package with TOO much "proof of bona fide relationship." If the beneficiary is not German, it depends where from; for example, someone originally from a Middle Eastern country who emigrated to Germany should probably add material.

Material dating from 2018 will be just fine -- excellent, in fact. Sure, take a few screenshots -- not too many, and be selective. Choose substantive dialogue. And be vigilant to avoid any verbiage where you refer to yourselves playfully as "hubbie/wifey" or "husband/wife" -- this would kill an I-129F petition at the USCIS level if it's seen, and it would certainly hose the K-1 application at the consulate.

More seriously, I think that with enough effort, someone reasonably proficient in English could make a career out of editing all menus that are found in all Chinese (and Vietnamese, et al.) restaurants. Some really funny examples are in Baba-Mail and Reddit. A favorite is "steam crab." I see that and think, "Quit commanding me! It's YOUR job to steam the crab, not mine." When it's correctly "steamed crab," I think, "They should calm the crabs down before killing and serving them." Probably my top favorite is "Noodle" -- if we're allowed just one noodle, I want the longest one!

True story: When I lived in northern Virginia, I'd sometimes drive into D.C. to eat at a particular hole-in-the-wall Chinese place in a bad 'hood. They had ratty old stained menus. They finally redid them in laminated plastic. The very first menu item was "Wanton Soup." I immediately exclaimed, "I'll have three bowls!"

What does she say is wrong with it?

You've been Accepted, N ma'am. True story: Years ago when Cat T-B. #1 was alive, I was lazing in bed too long past her breakfast time. She sat on my stomach, head-butted me, and then turned around and farted on me. I got up rather more rapidly than usual.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of inferior-primate bed this morning, see man.

Wonderful progress. Start application now. Get new passport. Bring both passports to interview. The consulates see this all the time.

Thank you for clarifying this. Certainly a death certificate (get multiple official copies of this if at all possible).

Welcome to the active forum, and heartiest congratulations -- you must feel great!

Don't know if the SmartyKat is still on deep discount, but it's an absolute must!

Little-Known Signs of Loneliness in Cats Most Pet Parents Don't Pick Up On Sometimes, our pets try to give us clues to let us know how they are feeling that we might not pick up on. But anytime they're acting different than they normally do, it's a sign to pay attention because something is going on that they want you to know about. Almond is a 12-year-old orange cat who's always been happy and energetic...that is until her mom noticed some unusual signs.

Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the K-1 Process forum.

The above was split from a very old thread (now locked) in this forum. A duplicate post was removed from another very old thread. ----- Markraj, welcome to the forum! People will be along soon to help answer your question.

This thread verifies yet again how well thorough, thoughtful communication works to increase knowledge and understanding.

No folders. Use a giant binder-clip for entire submission. If too much, either pare down or use a couple of giant clips and surround everything with a rubber band. Clear bag for passport photos. You can shorten the letter of how you met. Five pages of photos would be the maximum (maybe a page too long) for Lima. It's natural to freak out a little at your stage, but you have permission to do so less intensely.

Great news!

She was a classy lady. RIP.

Brother, the change in administrations has involved a change in focus from poorly controlled, random, arguably overpermissive, or absent immigration policy to something for which a majority of the American people voted and remain happy with, if current polls are acknowledged. The current administration is acting in accord with public desire. Sorry if you object, but your dual recourse is to (1) vote for candidates who support your position and (2) hope that enough of your fellow citizens agree with you. In your specific case, maybe a breakthrough will occur, and no one here begrudges it. Your frustration is natural and understood, but bear in mind that the immigration-policy pendulum has swung.

Such wonderful news! See? The letters in the word "FEAR" stand for False Evidence Appearing Real. Good man. So thrilled for you!

Fact: They look.
