Daniel and Rianne

Lol Peet april will be your month!! Lets go for that...hope u can celebrate together!

Theres already some vermont ppl approved yeah around the date you filed/noa 1...so theres coming light at the end of the visa tunnel!

Wooah, Just am back from the post office, I sent out our I-130 petition... my husband text me back: COOL

So we are new here!

I am still by my husband in the USA but soon i have to leave, back to NL :-(

Hope you all have a good visajourney and hope our jouney goes well too.

Its so stressy al those papers...and I just think...hey there do your job and work ;-) Sometimes i really can't understand that it take so long!"

And those papers are sometimes hard to understand, and asking "double" information but well we just started guess there are enough around here which can write a whole complain book about it ;-) and have much more to complain about!

Still thinking what journey we are going to take, the K3 or CR1 visa. I think the CR1 but sometimes its hard to understand what is the difference etc.

Seems like I only complain istn' it? But most of the time i am positive ;-) LOL! We try to take it easy and i have a wonderful time by my husband in our house! Busy with painting and making our house a home! Its fun to do!

Take care!

I applied in my married name and have my passport in my maiden name. I had done my interview and got back my passport from the embassey without no problem!

I want to say thank you to everyone for helping me out through your answers, tips etc. at my question!

Take Care!

Wishing you all the best in your visa jouney!

Hey all,

This is kind a question to people which got married and took another name.

In my passport is still my maiden name but i am married now and have my husbands last name.

Do I need to change my passport? Or is that later?

Because i know in NL they put in your passport married with...

But i haven't changed my passport yet because its still okay for years.

We didn't send out the I-130 yet because we are getting the proof of ongoing marriage together.

By the way do i need to send wedding pictures with?

We got married in January and after that we don't have that much pictures together yet, but do you also send pictures from before the marriage??

I can't really understand that they take pictures because from someone else I heard they don't really look at it because you can fraud with them easily.

I like to sign with my new last name but in my passport is still my maiden signature.

How did you sign? Can I make a new signature? Or I have to sign with my maiden signature because that is in my passport?

Hope someone know an answer at my question.

Thank you so far.

Ri

Can and will someone answer my question please?

I will be so happy to read something about it.

I really appreciate every help we get!

Thank you so far!

Thank you for your help!

Okay, I will do that, in other names used i did my maiden last name but now i know i can put my first name there too. Oeps...than i can start typing again ;-)

Another question, really think i have all kind a silly questions ;-) I just am really picky and maybe i do not need to try to be perfect, my husband is really laughing at it but well its just something important and you do want to do everything you can to do it okay so they can't find anything wrong or what ever.

When i wasn't married i used my maiden signature. And I still do (because if i pay with my creditcard there is still my maiden signature and they need to verify if that is correct etc) but i really like to sign with the name i got when we got married. So like to make a signature with my husbands name.

But in my passport which is legal is still my maiden signature. So i guess i need to sign those papers with my maiden signature because that is in my passport?

Oh about proof of marriage beside our international weddingpaper, I think i know something else: I have a military ID (you can get that when you marry someone in the military) but i have that ID otherwise i am not allowed to drive on base. My husbands name is on it and his rank etc. So its a very important "thing" for the military because if i drive crazy they say its my husbands responsibility and will "punish" my husband.

I also bought our couch and stuff for our house like curtains etc. i still have those receipts and also my bankaccount etc. So can we add those as proof or it need to be something else?Hope you will answer this question again.

Again, thank you so much for your help, I really appreciate it!

I am thinking about something else.

I still have my dutch passport in my maiden name do i need to change my dutch passport and let them put in it my married name?

Because in filling out the I-130 I use my new family name (the marriage name).

When are they asking for a copy of my passport? So by that time i guess i need another passport with my married name??? Or will it be still okay to have that one with my maiden name because you say by "other names used" your maiden name?

Hope someone can answer my questions.

Thank you so far

Ps: I finally found the way to answer to this topic how i want ;-) Lol it took me a little time!

Hey!!

I see you found out already how to open a topic haha.

About ur first question...its just as pushbrk says that the right side of that paper is for you and the left side is for daniel to fill in. So just fill in ur current employer in NL. You acutally arent supposed to be in the USA now right..cuz u cant have an emloyer in the usa yet because u just start the petition:)

Its always good to add proof. If u have them add pictures, always good. I see in the guide it says 'evidence of bonafida marriage' But teh options 1 till 4 u cant really do as i read...so id go for 5 or 6.

5. Affidavits sworn to or affirmed by third parties havingpersonal knowledge of the bona fides of the maritalrelationship (Each affidavit must contain the full nameand address, date and place of birth of the person makingthe affidavit, his or her relationship to the petitioner ofbeneficiary, if any, and complete information and detailsexplaining how the person acquired his or herknowledge of your marriage); or

6. Any other relevant documentation to establish that thereis an ongoing marital union.

About the question that it didnt get saved...or u cant change..idk. Should be possible to add things i think.

Good luck with filling in the paper and getting ur proof together!!

Hopefully you can file soon!

Hey All,

Thank you so much for your input in this topic.

Now another question about G-325 at the end of every page, in that heavy border you need to type down your given name...

normally they are talking about first name etc.

Now my name is Rianne but my first name is Anna and 2nd name is Adriaantje.

In the Netherlands you get like your baptized names which they write in your passport but the name they want to give you isn't always the baptized name or the name in the passport.

But do i need to write my First name Anna (which is in my passport)? Or just the name my parents gave me and the name everyone call me? Rianne?

Thanks again.

Write your current legal name. Rianne would be listed when asked for "other names used". This is not just for the box at the bottom. Your name is your name. If a man is called Mike, Bob or Gene, their "name" is probably Michael, Robert or Eugene.

Thank you for your help!

Okay, I will do that, in other names used i did my maiden last name but now i know i can put my first name there too. Oeps...than i can start typing again ;-)

Hello,

We are new here, and i almost get lost in all the information and paperwork.

We are going to fill out the I-130.

My husband is an american and i am dutch.

Now i have a question, I did look at the FAQ's and Guides and examples etc. etc.

But maybe i just have a silly question.

But at question 15, its the C-part: information about your relative...than they ask Name and address of present employer (if any)

Well...My husband has his work in the USA as a Marine.

And I have work in the Netherlands as a RN, so do we need to put my work address in the Netherlands there?? OR are they talking about if i have work in America? (Nope i haven't because thats not allowed till you have your greencard) OR are they talking about my husbands work i don't think that because its in the C-part.

I think we are kind a dumb ;-) to understand this.

Its just frustrated sometime, I know we just start this process and that will take a long time and patience but it was already a lot of stress to get his papers for getting married in the Netherlands, but that was the best option for us.

We all go through that VISA journey but we just want to be and stay by our love... why can't it not be easier.

Another question we have our international marriage license but do we need to send more papers to show them that we are married? But thats kind a strange because my husband want me in his bankaccount but we can not because i do not have a SS#.

We have a house so maybe he can put me at that, he did want to do that right way when he bought it but couldn't because i wasn't there.

And he will add me to his insurance but than i have to go with to the base sometime, so will that be enough, that he show me that i am at his insurance?

Oh and something else...we started to fill it out on the computer and saved it and did want to go further with it the other day but now we can not make changes in it anymore, so we need to start typing again?

Urgh...i am sorry so many questions.

Hope someone will answer, thank you for your time.
