Hi My fiance works in Grand Prairie but our home is in Dallas.

Hoping to get our NOA2 sometime soon!

I applied for Police Certificate in Tokyo when I was there for a short visit in June. Just gave them a copy of NOA1 and completed I-129F (fiance scanned them into PDF file and I just printed them out), and they gave me the Police Certificate a week after. I also do recommend you to get the certificate while you're still in Japan. Takes long time to get it from the embassy.

Good luck

Where I come from, we generally don't tip in when dining out. I used to live in Japan for many years, and they don't tip either (but excellent service anyway... part of Japanese culture, I guess). So I basically know very little about tipping (whom to tip and how much is appropriate). When I went for a visit to the US (also when I went to Europe), I found it troublesome to think how much I had to tip when dining out. Didn't want to overtip but didn't want to be mean by giving too little, either. Would prefer them to just include it in the food price. I guess I need to get used to tipping culture since I will be living in the US.

Interesting and useful thread

I read from a VJ thread awhile ago that you can get English Police Certificate from Mabes POLRI in Jalan Trunojoyo, Jakarta Selatan. That way you don't need to translate.

Hope this helps.

It seems that my estimate adjudication date has been going further lately... from mid August to end of August

Any idea why?

I am worried it would go further and further... we hope to be married before thanksgiving

I was living in Japan (Tokyo) so I have to get police certificate from Japan too.

Soon after my fiance filed our K1 petition in May, I called Japanese embassy in Indonesia (Jakarta) and they told me

it would take 2-3 months. I was worried about this, but then I happened to have chance to visit Tokyo few weeks ago

and took the opportunity to go get the certificate. The whole process was relatively easy. I only needed Certificate of

Hi All

We were touched today! Yaay~

I know it's probably still some time until NOA2, but it feels good to see some progress

Good luck to us all, and stay optimistic!
