Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	France/America couples	Thank you guys, I hope it will be as easy for you as it was for me to get your visa. The only thing you need is patience. A lot of it. QUOTE (lucie&damon @ Dec 10 2008, 11:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Congratulation Joy and Josh!!! When are you going to fly to the US? I will try to fly on January 20th, at least that's what I told them at the embassy, since I want to spend the holidays with my family and then I have to ship my stuff to the US (I still need to find a solution for that...) and say goodbye to everybody. QUOTE (lucie&damon @ Dec 10 2008, 11:32 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This paper 156K is so weird... Why are they asking everytime to see it when obviously you're a girl?! It is form DS-157 actually, and I did ask that question. The answer was pretty vague, I was just told that the K1 visa is very special, a hybrid between an immigrant and a non-immigrant visa, and they just like having as many forms as possible (!). It was my understanding that soon everybody will be asked that form, but in the meantime it's not mandatory. QUOTE (lili&kai @ Dec 11 2008, 06:05 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> youhou congrat Joy!! I also had the handwritten message saying "+98euros mandat cash si payé avant le 1er décember ou 107 après le 1er décembre". And I received the letter on the 2nd.. When I gave my payment receipt to the lady taking care of my case, she said something like "Oh, you were lucky to pay on November 29th... The fee went up on December 1st". Little did she know that I had to make a run for it on a Saturday morning! Joy	Joy&Josh	Female	France	2008-12-11 12:11:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	France/America couples	Hi everybody! I had my interview today at the Paris embassy. Everything went fine and I will receive my visa within a week. The only problem I had was that the address on the appointment letter was wrong. The consulate 2 rue St Florentin is closed for repairs and they moved it to Avenue Gabriel, next to the embassy. After the security check, I got a number from the electronic kiosk and started waiting. They called me a first time just to take my appointment letter. I went back to my seat and waited 45 minutes before being called again. A French embassy worker asked me all my documents and congratulated me on how well I filled my forms (I used the examples forms from VisaJourney!). She asked me if I filled the DS-157, which is supposed to be only for men or citizens of some countries. I didn't, but I had the form with me and offered to fill it in front of her but she said it was not necessary. She was pleasant with me and even joked about the cold weather in Wisconsin. She took my fingerprints and then told me to wait for the American consul to call me. 30 minutes later, the consul called me and made me sign the oath and the DS-156K. The only questions she asked me were how I met my fiancé, when I wanted to enter the US and when will the wedding take place. She was very nice and congratulated me. She said that I will receive my passport with my visa within a week, and she wished me a good day. If you have any questions about the interview, I'd be happy to answer them! Good luck to all of you Joy	Joy&Josh	Female	France	2008-12-10 14:40:00

Oops, I just meant that we received our NOA2. I have no idea when I will get my visa and move to the US yet. Shouldn't be too long though... QUOTE (kimandfred @ Sep 23 2008, 07:55 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What town? I live in WI too and sometimes have to travel near Fond du Lac for work. Not too much happens there though.... Well, we used to live in Brodhead (south of Madison) but now my fiancé moved to Kiel, near Fond du Lac, and I don't like that area too much. I think I prefer the south of Wisconsin. Where do you live ?	Joy&Josh	Female	France	2008-09-25 13:58:00
Europe & Eurasia (except the UK and Russia)	France/America couples	Hi there, This is my first post ever on this forum, even though I've been lurking here for months now... Well, my fiancé and I just got approved and I needed to share the good news. I am so happy, I can't believe it finally happened! I am the French one and my fiancé lives in Wisconsin, near Fond du Lac. Good luck if your application is still being processed, I hope you won't wait too long.
