K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	Alex ... It depends how long in advance you buy em. I checked a couple weeks ago with my local travelagent, that the cheapest one-way ticket costed about 700 and round 500 euros ... Also depends on the airline of course, the day of departure etc. When I went to the US in february I had my tickets booked by an American travelagent, that was cheaper than with the Belgian ones ... Maybe John can get some info on that? There's always the possibility to pay with VISA eh *bwahahaha, visa ... I'm getting a little eye twitch every time I speak out the word ... * I'm currently haunting down the cheapest company (and way) to ship personal belongings ... Must say when I heard those prices I freaked out. The goods aren't worth as much as the shipping would cost. So I'm going to simplify some more: toss stuff, leave some stuff with friends and family and just take an extra package with the things I really want.	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-24 08:25:00

How are things with you? I need my approval this week simply cause I am running out of movies to watch, lol Why Blockbuster doesn't work in Ukraine? Oh, thought I'll share our USCIS calling experience with you guys. So, we decided to talk to them last night and... like I predicted: "We received your 129(F)... (word for word from the website) and than they told us "USCIS still has 112 days to provide you with answer... " Sorry to hear about your experience with the USCIS ... I truly hope the phonecall helped you guys having them looking in your file! I'm doing good, haven't heard anything from the Embassy after calling and emailing ... but it's ok. I'll be happy when I get that envelope in the mail, that's most important. I hope the semi-strike with the postalworkers in Brussels isn't going to slow down delivery to my town ...

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	Good morning everybody! Yevgeniy, congrats! Girls, all that talking about movies, made me realise that I haven't seen any since I got here in Belgium again. My last movie was Caddyshack when I was still in NY, we love it so very much both Greg and I. It was not the first time we saw it, probably G's 50th time and my 7th ...lol Ana, hang in there, I'm still sending approval-vibes-for-Ana-and-Dave to VSC! Alex ... is everything running smoothly there? Have a wonderful Wednesday!!	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-24 03:34:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	Hi Ana ... still no sign from the Embassy and just got a confirmation from DHL that the package has been delivered in Brussels. When I look at other Belgians it seemed to have gone smooth. It's hard to tell though ... I guess we'll see. Nat, good to see you!	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-22 06:56:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	Ana, I have all my paperwork ready. The doc where I went, is on holiday next week, so I had my medical done already. The package from NVC is going to be delivered at the Embassy today. I tried to get in contact with a person at the Embassy, because I have just a few questions, but they put me through to the pay-line, which I called last week and was not satisfactory. So I mailed them again today. Mel, the NOA2 hardcopy will be sent to the petitioner (in the US). Yevgeniy, I believe it's to have met in person in the last 2 years. Not sure, I'll have to look it up myself. Have a great week all and hopefully we can celebrate some more approvals!	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-22 03:32:00

That sounds about right though, they may get suspisous if we have a date already....thats what I always tell the customs people CO: when are you getting married Me: when i get the visa CO: You don't have a date? when are you planning to get the visa Me: ...when it's approved? CO: when do you plan to move Me: (trying not to rollmy eyes) when I have the approved visa in my hand and am legally able to marry CO: Well...DOn't stay down there, you will screw things up for yourself Me: (biting my tongue) yes sir.....

Jen Well the example form states "when visa is granted" ... So I would say: what about tomorrow?	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-21 13:47:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	Good luck Jenni! I bet your turkey will be the best he'll ever had ... May I ask you something about form DS-156? What did you write in box 22 When do you intend to arrive in the US? I was looking at it and thought to put 25th of october there or just plain write october 2008 ... because a specific date is kind of hard to tell as long as there is no interview date set eh?

It seems like numberous people found out they were approved when they got the hardcopy of the NOA2 in the mail and/or with some of them the online status wasn't updated properly.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	QUOTE (Ana&D @ Sep 20 2008, 05:53 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sandra, hope u'll get your interview really soon As to the name issue... Here in Ukraine we have smth called "patronimic" (like extended version of fathers name added to the kid's name). I generally skipped it in my visa applications. What does your international passport have in it? I would say use the name as it is in your passport. And medical... well, if they are not asking for it, don't send it. Better keep it safe so it makes it ok to that big envelope u'll get to surrender at POE. Thanks Ana. My international passport has Sandra H. J. on there ... so I'll just put both of em under middle name ... lol If they only need one, they'll only take the first one...	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-20 11:02:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May filers	I really hope so Ana. I have a question ... I asked Alex the same thing in a pm already. What is considered to be your 'middle name'? My name is Sandra and then I have 2 baptizing names Hendrika Jozef(my godmother's and godfather's first name). Should I write down only the first name on my forms or just fill in the two names. To be honest I have no clue what I put on the g325 forms, I probably just left them off. (I don't have a copy of those forms ) We don't speak of those names being 'middle names'. I also had my medical already done, because the doc where I had my examination is going on holiday in a couple of days... Should I send those results already with the packet 3, or just check it off on the checklist and not mention it yet? (I was as healthy as a fish btw, and had my blood tested in advance ... x rays on the same day as doc appointment, so that went really smooth, thanks to the advice of D, another Belgian girl that recently got married in the States!) I checked DHL yesterdaynoon and there was a package on it's way to Brussels (sent by US gov containing embassy papers) ... and Greg found this confirmation in his mailbox shortly after I checked. Now all I can hope is for everything to run smooth and get an interviewdate very soon. Edited by Tarantula, 20 September 2008 - 09:32 AM.	Tarantula	Female	Belgium	2008-09-20 09:28:00
