I would put the date that you actually left the house. A gap, while you were living in RV can likely be ignored. A gap while you were travelling abroad shouldn't matter. Some people live for years with no verifiable address. I would put the start date of the internship. Just a single record for that employer. Provide the information as accurately as possible, but it doesn't need to be exact dates. Some deviation from actual dates is not unexpected. As long as your timeline is isn't full of deceitful omissions, you should be fine.

Glad to hear that it got sorted out. -
Thank you. I hope your significant-other's family is safe after the earthquake in Morocco.

These appointments are now gone. I hope some of you were able to snatch them up!

K1 (Mother ) K2 ( Child) [merged threads]
Stook replied to Gary Rich's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Respectfully, you're probably the only person who has made this so complicated. So, I think you're going to end up being the seasoned veteran who ends up teaching us if your process works or not. We did everything in order, per the websites' instructions... We took care of the passports first and then did the DS-160s, set up my fiancee's ustraveldocs profile and then her son's profile on ustraveldocs (under the same account/email), then paid both fees, then entered the receipt information, then scheduled the interview (both my fiancee's K1 and her son's K2 were combined). I hope everything goes well for you. -
The ustraveldocs website or the embassy that you'll be interviewing at should tell you exactly which records and for how many years to bring. (Packet 3 & 4) For the US Embassy in Bangkok Thailand, we only need to provide the most-recent tax transcript. Though, taxes need to be filed for the past 3 years (when applicable). So, your fiance should have a tax return or an approved non-filing status also for 2020

You posted the answer.... Q: What does "Approved" mean? A: the consular officer has approved your application (subject to final processing by the consular section that is necessary to issue your visa).When that processing is complete, the status will change to "Issued". However, a final screening step must still be completed prior to issuance that could lead a consular officer to conclude that you are not eligible for a visa. If that occurs, the consular officer will notify you that your application has been denied and your status will change to "Refused". They're doing final processing and verifications. If everything is good, you'll have your Visa soon.

This is just an FYI for anyone else who might be in the same position. We are so close the being done with the whole process. We are currently waiting for K1 Visa appointments to become available in Bangkok. On September 17th, we completed the DS-160 forms (By the way..that was a SERIOUS PAIN IN THE _.since the https://ceac.state.gov/ceac/ website kicks you out if you pause for a minute to look up some information) After completing the DC-160, you get directed to the ustraveldocs.com website to pay for and schedule an interview. (Why that website doesn't have a .gov domain extension is beyond me). At the time, the ustraveldocs website was indicating that there was an available appointment at the end of November. (I'm guessing it may have been a cancellation that freed up a slot). Unfortunately, it took much of the next day to find a print shop in Jomtien willing and capable (incompetence was a factor) to print out the payment form that the bank would need. After paying for the interview fees (k1 and k2) and getting our receipt, per the instructions, we had to wait until after 12:00pm the next day, before attempting to schedule an interview. (I assume, giving time for the ustraveldocs website to acknowledge the payment Receipt #). To our dismay, that open slot had been snatched up (congratulations to whomever that might be). So here we are, checking the ustraveldocs website constantly, hoping that more appointments open up, soon. It's quite disheartening, after waiting 15-16 months from I-129f inception, to our case arriving at the embassy, then struggling through the <text deleted> CEAC website, to now get greeted with "No appointments available" every time we log in and click that 'Continue' link.

When are Embassy Interview Slots Refreshed?
Stook replied to friedmanrc's topic in US Embassy and Consulate Discussion
All i can find on the USTraveldocs website is, available appointments are updated on a 'rolling basis, based on the level of demand". We are in the same situation, at the Bangkok, Thailand US Embassy -
I dont get my K1-ftp thru email
Stook replied to Didis's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports
If the Manilla embassy has already received your file, then I don't think you need to worry about the K1-FTP letter. -

Stook replied to friendl123's topic in Philippines
Send back what exactly? Here's the link to our "packet 3 & 4". I don't see anything about signing and "sending back" anything in particular. Maybe I'm misunderstandng. https://th.usembassy.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/90/Bangkok-K-Visa-Instructions-English-June-2022.pdf -
Question on Fiancée’s kid
Stook replied to khmerboy12's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
She will need a document from the court that confirms she has full custody or permission to take the child out of the country permanently. -
When to fill out DS-160?
Stook replied to Izzymaelito's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
Am I missing something from a different thread? I don't see him mention that the I-129f has not been approved. -
I wouldn't worry about the age difference, from the Visa perspective. But, from the family perspective, understand that his 18y/o kid might have a hard time accepting that his/her father is marrying a woman close to the kid's age.

There was recently a much older woman posting here, stating that her visa for a much younger male was approved.

Certified translator and costs
Stook replied to N30's topic in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures
I agree with SneakyPete, and I believe the I-129f INSTRUCTIONS PDF file confirms/clarifies this, as well. We had a hell of a time getting our translation company to put the certification wording that Pete showed on the translated documents. Translation company insisted that their company stamp would be enough. Eventually, we had to tell them to add the statement or stop getting paid. At the end of the day, you can even have a bilingual friend or family member do the translation, as long as they put the certification statement on the document.
