My fiance just called with the happy news that he's been approved!!!! He'll get the visa next week and is planning to come over the first week of May!!!! We'll be married on May 28th!!!

I'm so happy and just wanted to share this with all of you. These forums have been such a HUGE help through this process, and will continue to be so as we move ahead, I'm sure.

Good luck to everyone still waiting. There is light at the end of the tunnel!!!

I'm off to update my timeline! =)

Thank you!

My fiance is going to call tomorrow to get an appointment for the medical.

Can anybody answer question 2? I'm really curious about that one!

My fiance just got Packet 3 today! Yay! We have most of our documents ready to go, I just have a few questions.

1) I'm currently unemployed and my parents are going to co-sponsor. Do I still need to fill out the I-134?

2) I read somewhere that if a married person is signing, the spouse must also sign. Since there aren't 2 signature lines, do they sign on the same line, or do my parents have to fill out separate documents with their names, but the same info?

3) Do we schedule the medical appointment before being assigned an interview date?

Thank you for your help!

Congratulations to everyone!!

I just found out that our case was already sent to the embassy on Feb 8th!! I'd been using the automated system, which always said they had no record of my case. Finally today I spoke to an operator and voila! Great news!!

Moral of the story: always speak to an operator at NVC!

Today is my fiance's birthday, and I just got the email that they approved our NOA2!!!!! What a wonderful birthday present!!!

I'm off to update my timeline! =)

Congrats to everyone who's been approved! Our NOA1 date is Aug 11, so I'm going crazy checking the website for an update! It's gotta be soon, right?

I don't know what to do at this point. Our NOA1 date is August 11, but they won't file a service request because the computer system won't let them. Last week I called and they said they expected to get to our file in 18 days. So I waited a week and called again today. Now they're saying 20 days! What is this??? Looking at Igor's list it looks like they've stopped processing I129Fs again.

Does it really help to contact a congressperson? It seems like all the info on here is so conflicting. The whole thing is like a crapshoot. Some people get through quickly, others don't, some people file service requests, I apparently can't, some people think congress helps, others don't. UGH!

Just needed to vent.

I'm working on filling out my residence info for the G325A and have some questions. I've been living in Spain for 3 years (I'm from the states), these last 2 I've been on a student visa, the first year I came on a tourist visa. During that year I went back and forth between the US and Spain several times, so I had multiple entries into Spain. I've lived in a lot of different apartments, some for only a month or 2. Do I need to list every single one? Most of them didn't even have official leases, utilities have never been in my name, there's nothing official linking me to them. Should I just expand the dates of places I lived the longest? All the apartments have been in the same city, many of them even in the same neighborhood.

Also, over the past 3 years I've worked occasionally for my parents company when in the states. Sometimes for only a week or two at Christmas or during the summer. Do I list that on my work history? Since they've never technically fired me, should I list their company even though most of the time I don't actually work there?

He'll submit his Spanish passport, so I'll put that as his nationality. Could I just explain in the cover letter than he has dual citizenship, but that we're listing his Spanish nationality on the forms? We can provide his Peruvian birth certificate, and his Spanish nationalization papers and ID for proof.

Thanks for the response. I've been looking for more answers regarding my 1st question. When filling out his nationality on the forms, do we say Peruvian, Spanish, or both? I've been searching for an answer on the site, but haven't found anything difinitive yet. Thanks!

Hello all,

I'm new to the forum, just got engaged last week!! I'm from the states, and my fiance is from Peru, but we live together in Spain. We've been together for nearly 3 years now and have been planning on getting engaged and moving to the states for awhile. I've looked into the fiance visa process, but have some questions that I hope you can answer.

1) My fiance is Peruvian, but has lived in Spain for 8 years and is now a Spanish citizen as well, so he has dual citizenship. I assume we need to turn in his Peruvian birth certificate, but do we need to provide info about his Spanish nationality? His ID card is from Spain. Can we explain in the cover letter his nationality situation and just provide the documents that support that?

2) I'm currently a grad student in Spain, I'll be graduating at the end of the month. (yay!) My plan was to stay in Spain until the end of the year, then go home to find a job. Unfortuately, this means I won't be working and won't have any income to show them. My parents have agreed to co-sponsor, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm just worried that they'd deny him because I haven't had a job due to school and work restrictions for international students in Spain. I would go home now and find a job immediately to avoid the whole situation, but my fiance will be having sugery in the fall, and since things move slowly with the NHS, we don't know exactly when. I'd like to be here with him for that. Obviously, if it comes down to being with him or having his visa approved, I'll go for the later. I just wanted to run this situation by some people who might have some insight.

I hope all of this makes sense. Any advice at all is welcome!

Thank you!
