Greetings to all my VJ Friends!!!!

First off, let me say thank you to all of you for your support and prayers.

Today is a very very special day. My daughter and I waited in the cafe on the 4th floor for less than an hour when we saw my lovely fiancee come around the corner with a huge smile on her face and a pink paper (realy it's more peach) in her hand.

With tears in our eyes, we hugged and prayed and thanked God for being so faithful throughout the whole process.

God is good, all the time.

Blessing to all of you on this road...

Dreams do come true!

Dan

Hey Everyone,

We are preparing for my fiancee's interview. She has her Physical Exam soon.

When and how does she pay the fee for her visa interview?

Thanks,

Dan

Greetings Everyone,

Man, preparing for the interview is getting intense. I was told by my fiancee that I need to write a statement concerning the termination of my former marriage.

Does anyone know what this letter should say?

Thanks,

Dan

Hey everyone,

I'm flying to China at the end of the month to be with my fiancee during her interview.

My question is: If I make more than $80K a year and have sufficient evidence of that (2008 Tax Return), do I really need a sponsor?

Thanks,

Dan

Greetings everyone,

I am filling out my I134, and I noticed the example form from VJ has no value in the:

"I have on deposit in savings banks in the United States: $ _______________"

and

"I have other personal property, the reasonable value of which is: $________________"

Should I leave those blank?

Tanks,

Dan

Hey there,

I'm working on my Post-NOA2 package.

Does anyone have an example letter "affirming your desire to marry your fiance."

Thanks,

Dan

Greetings Everyone!

I hope that this post will bring encouragement to anyone in our K1 shoes.

First off, let me say, that my Fiancee and I have been in prayer about our K1 process since the beginning and we realize that this thing is much bigger than us. God is in the middle of this and His fingerprints are all over it.

Today we received our NOA1 !!!! And I think it's a record: Filed on May 28th, Notice Date from NOA1: May 30th, received in mail: June 3rd.

There is power in prayer and I know that there will continue to be further evidence of the Ringer we've got in our corner.

Blessings to you,

Dan

Hey Everyone,

Thanks for your support and encouragement, and most of all, thanks for your prayers.

I sent the package today via USPS with Delivery Confirmation.

Funny thing, the processing center is 15 minutes away from my house.

I believe that God will bless this in a big way.

Cheers,

Dan

Thanks! You guys are great!

I followed all of your advice. I sent Original Submission I-129F with a ton of proof:

Full Copy Passport with Stamps

9 Pictures all labeled with Names, Dates, and Places

Airline Ticket Receipt

Hotel Receipt

Credit Card Receipts

Duty Free Receipt (gift for her mom).

I also included Proof of Ongoning Relationship with its own cover letter:

21 emails

6 pages of chat log.

You guys are awesome!

Thanks,

Dan

Okay, the entire package is assembled. All the i's are dotted and t's crossed.

I have a duplicate of everything. And I'm sure everything will be fine. Right?

I'm mailing (USPS Express with Delivery Notice) our original 129F submission on my lunch hour.

Please pray for us.

Thanks,

Dan

Hey everyone,

Well I think I've got the whole K1 package ready to go, finally. My question is concerning the proof stuff:

We met in China last month and I've picked out about 6 pictures, the hotel receipt, and my Airline boarding pass.

Anything else I need to submit for proof of meeting each other?

Thanks,

Dan

You're totally right. Her name is Xiao Hong. On the G-325A, she spelled it Xiaohong and on all of my paperwork, it's spelled the same. But one document, her original "Letter of Intent to Marry", has a line where she signed, and underneath is typed: "Xiao Hong Chen".

We should be good with that minor discrepancy, right?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Everyone,

Newbie here, organizing the first draft of the I-129F bundle. I knoticed today, after having received my fiancee's FedEx packet, that there is some inconsistency in the way we're writing her name. In Chinese, okay, there's only one spelling, but in the "romanization" or "pinyin" of her name, it's either modeled like "Mary Anne" or "Maryanne".

The only place it is inconsistent, is just below her signature on the Intent to Marry letter. Should I ask her to change that and send another express packet, or is it not such a big deal?

Thanks,

Dan
