K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Procedures	What is your official home during AOS waiting time?	When I came over on a K-1 we were married within 8 days, 2 weeks after that I had my SSN and the next day I opened a bank account at the same bank where my wife has her account. I kept my ABN-AMRO rekening open for my last paychecks and for the Belastingdienst. My mail was forwarded to friends in the Netherlands and they would open it and let me know if it was anything of importance, I also transfered most of my money to my new US account so I could start pulling my weight in the household bills.

It is also good that you show the intermingling of the household, for my medical insurance during these first months I use a Dutch insurance company, http://www.oomverzekeringen.nl/ Edited by Sirdaniel42, 23 September 2014 - 07:00 PM.

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	NOA2 today!	Congratulations	Sirdaniel42	Not Telling	Netherlands	2012-01-25 17:20:00
IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Documents for interview	Use this guide: http://www.visajourn...content/k1guide What to send to your fiance(e) once the I-129F is approved (Receive NOA2): 1. A copy of the entire I-129f package (that you made when you sent the petition in) and a copy of information that you sent back due to an RFE (if you received one). 2. Send all originals of the documentary proof that you submitted for the I-129F to your fiance(e) for their interview at the embassy. 3. Send an original letter affirming your desire to marry your fiance(e) and your continued support of the K-1 Visa. Sign and date the form. This will be similar to the letter you provided with the I-129F, but dated much closer to the interview (it will have most likely been several months since you submitted your I-129F). 4. I-134 Affidavit of Support form. Ensure it is signed, with all required supporting evidence. Begin collecting the required information ahead of time, as it can often take several weeks to collect it all. 5. You will likely need at a minimum (for the above form) two to three of your most recent pay stubs and a signed letter from your employer listing you job title, start date, your salary, and the status (full-time) of your position. Begin collecting these ASAP after your NOA2 arrives. You will also probably want to include other evidence such as your banking information and other assets as required by the I-134. Specifically you will need at least 2 of the 4 options mentioned in Section II-Supporting Evidence of the I-134. See this FAQ for more tips and ueful information on the Affidavit of Support Form. 6. A copy of the NOA2 that you received in the mail. 7. Proof of your ongoing relationship. This needs to be taken to the interview! Include photos, travel documents, emails, etc from between the time you filed and present (NOA1 date-now). Examples: Copies of land line and cell phone bills, appropriate emails and letters you have sent including the stamps on envelopes (to document the date they were sent), and other written documentary proof. Provide a reasonable amount; two to four of each type. Pick a range of dates up to and including the present. You can also include a copy of engagement ring receipt (this is something that is a big optional - do not worry if you do not have a ring yet!)	Sirdaniel42	Not Telling	Netherlands	2012-03-28 12:03:00

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	How do i make this sound good?	In addition to what others said here, my suggestions is that you take the form to your grandpa and read the fine print with him. It will also give you and him the opportunity to find out what it is he is NOT getting into. Have your computer with you and take him to the site of the USCIS so he can learn what all is involved. In other words, help him understand and feel he is a part of something and not only a signature in a piece of paper. Share your journey with him, in other words. Good luck!

IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures	Can my spouse visit on VWP before I file I-130?	Do not lie to the officer and say he is "visiting friends" or something like that. Seriously.
