Hi Keith, I'm sorry for the very late reply. Hopefully, you guys were able to figure it out. I'm not sure what you meant by "GSS". It's been about 2 years since we completed my wife's K1 process. For the DS-160 and interview, we didn't need separate accounts or email addresses. We first completed my wife's DS-160, and then my stepson's DS-160. While filling out my stepson's DS-160, the online form asked if it was to be associated with a primary DS-160. This linked the two.

Some people here don't want to believe it, but... there have been several reports of both greencard holders and US Citizens (without criminal records) being detained for extended periods while attempting to reenter USA.

As reported by Fedscoop (https://fedscoop.com/doge-granted-access-to-naturalization-immigration-it-systems/) "DOGE granted access to naturalization-related IT systems, memo shows Members of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency now have access to technical systems maintained by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, according to a recent memorandum viewed by FedScoop. The memo, which was sent from and digitally signed by USCIS Chief Information Officer William McElhaney, states that Kyle Shutt, Edward Coristine, Aram Mogahaddassi and Payton Rehling were granted access to USCIS systems and data repositories, and that a Department of Homeland Security review was required to determine whether that access should continue. " For the complete report, see the Fedscoop link.

FYI, the homepage auto-redirected me to a malicious site oojaishaibak(dot)net. I'm not sure if was caused by a malicious ad or not. Don't think i clicked on any ad from the home page. Admin may want to review to see if site has been compromised.

No need to screenshot conversations. It's not a requirement, nor a recommendation in any of the forms. Sources: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129finstr.pdf https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/i-129f.pdf

I don't think it can hurt anything, but it's also not necessary. Chat logs can be forged pretty easily, so don't hold much weight.

I don't recall my beneficiary ever getting anything during the process, other than her Thai passport returned to her with the new Visa page. That was about 1 year ago All notices came to me, the petitioner, either by mail or email.

We included some pictures from time we spent together in Thailand and photocopies of first and most-recent airplane tickets to Thailand. And, the "Letter of Intent to Marry". No chat logs, no screenshots. Got through with no RFEs.

The answer is unfortunate and your laughter at their situation is not helpful.

My fiance's son was 11 yrs old. My fiance has sole custody of him. We didn't need a letter from the father, since mom has sole custody. We did include both the Thai language divorce papers (Copy) , as well as the english-translated copy.

We did the DS-160 for my fiance's K1. Got confirmation page. Then, we did the DS-160 for for her son's K2. This asked if there was an associated K1. I can't recall which number we had to enter, but it ended up linking the two DS-160s together. They had 1 interview.

Where in the I-129f instructions does it say anything about including call / chat history / text messages? I'm quite curious why this question keeps showing up in various places. The I-129f doesn't ask for any of this, and neither do any of the other forms. To prove bonafide relationship, we included some pictures of us together and air travel receipts from some of my trips to Thailand. But the most-important documents (in my opinion) were our letters of "Intent to Marry", which were basically: "I Stook, and Sweet Thai Lady met on <date> and most-recently spent time together on <date within 2 years of application>. Between those dates, we travelled together numerous times.... extremely happy to have met each other....blah blah. We fully intent to get married within 90 days of her arrival within the United States." Signed, Mr Stook" "I Sweet Thai Lady and Mr Stook met on <date> and most-recently spent time together on <date within 2 years of application>. Between those dates, we travelled together numerous times.... extremely happy to have met each other....blah blah. We fully intent to get married within 90 days of her arrival within the United States. Signed, Sweet Thai Lady"

Through another channel, I hear there are some interviews available. Get them while you can

The "packet" refers to "Packet 3 & 4". Each embassy handles it a bit differently. This us where instructions begin to deviate. I'll give our example .. We were processed through US embassy in Bangkok. After NVC notified me (petitioner) that our case was bring forwarded to the embassy in Bangkok, I soon received and email from the embassy titled "K Visa Packet 3 & 4 instructions". The email informed us that we could schedule our interview, but to first follow instructions on the embassy website. The website had the "packets", which were simply a PDF file with instructions for next steps...which documents to prepare, information about the required medical exam, etc. In fact, for us, there were no longer separate "Package/Packet 3 & 4', but rather a single "Packet 3, in PDF format". I just checked KL embassy's website for the "packet" instructions, but couldn't find anything.

I didn't include ANY paystubs. I only provided my most-recent year's tax transcript. But, some embassies have different requirements.

They can transmit electronically. I would seal the packet myself, just in case.

Thanks for the tip. We used two different local companies in Pattaya/Jomtien. Both did great translation work. Though, one of them didn't want to put the self-certification statement on the documents (instead, they wanted to use their own stamp... Which i refused). I'll have to dig up the names of the place we used, later.

Probably pretty quick, after you get your medical updated. I know the process is frustrating, but hang in there. You're almost done!

It may not be a requirement, but it's never a bad idea to do any little thing that can improve your chance of success. Why are so many people here so quick to discredit and look for an argument?

I put a summary of our relationship history and number of times i went to see my fiancee in Thailand, in our Intent To Marry letter. It helps prove a bonafide relationship

Some of my details are foggy, but I'll do my best. When you finish the DS-160, it will have a barcode on it. Do a DS-160 for fiancee and another for her child. They'll get linked automatically. If I recall correctly, the DS-160 process will instruct you when/how to pay the interview fee. pay for both Fiancee and her child. Only do DS-160. No DS-260

I didn't even look at that, until my lady's interview was done. I believe READY is normal for the step you're at. After the interview, it will hopefully change to APPROVED, and then ISSUED

Hi Ray, That email is your K1-FTP. Is has your Case number (starts with BNK) and your USCIS Receipt #. I don't know what an IIN or BIN # is. I don't see that on any of my records. Keep an eye on your email. I received the "K1 Visa Packet 3 & 4 Instructions" email a few hours after the K1-FTP email. No packet was actually sent to me. You can find them at https://th.usembassy.gov/visas/immigrant-visas/packets/. You only need to pay attention to "Fiancé(e) K Visa Information and Interview Instructions – previously known as Package 3 & 4" You can now get set up on the CEAC website, followed by the DS-160 and interview fee payment. Once that's done, you can start checking for open interview appointments.

There are some fields which I couldn't type into. I did as much as I could on the computer, printed it out, and used pen on the remaining fields.
