Hi, my American fiancé and I are starting the whole K1 process. We have been living together in France the last 2 years, as a result we have plenty of documentation (health insurance cards, joint bank account, apartement insurance contract...) where both of our names are mentionned. The only "problem" is that all those documents are in French, so we are wondering if we need to translate such documents or if a quick explanation of what they are is sufficient? (to send with I-129)

Is anybody in the same situation? what did you do?

Question about pictures of us now. We met back in 2005 so we have PLENTY of pictures of the both of us. I thought about sending 2 pics per year we were together, so about 10 total. My fiancé thinks we should send more. Then i read on the Guideline to send 2 to 5 pictures. What is your personal experience. The more the better? or it could actually be a bad thing to send too much with the 1st package?

Thanks in advance

Hi Sabrina,

Are you a French citizen? If you have a French passport, then you don't have a visa problem. When you move to U.S. just get married and apply for change of status on your visa. That way you can skip all this K1 process.

Unless the law changed since last year. My friend married a German citizen here and she just changed her tourist visa to permenant resident.

Good luck,

Hi everyone,

I see a lot of people are taking their appointment letter and their packet 4 to the embassy at interview time. My fiance nor I ever got a packet 4 or an interview letter. We just received an email. I emailed the embassy about this but all I got was, just bring your passport and documents.

My question is has anyone been denied entry into the embassy or interview because they did not have or receive such letter?

Any other suggestions about the interview process would also be appreciated.

My fiance's interview is August 6th in Ankara.

thanks,

Hi Sable,

tell her not to take a chance. If the US embassy wants an excuse, it can use the expired visa to delay the process at least for another couple of month.

The easiest thing would be to take a train to Iran's border and crossover, stay over night and come back the next day. Then she'll have another 3 month. I think you have to leave the country for at least 24 hrs. As far as I know that's all it takes.

Good luck.
