K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresvoter's id
Are you flying out of the country or domestic?

If international - prep your passport.

If domestic - any government issued photo ID - SS ID, Postal ID. I think your voter's ID should be good.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to expect when called by the Embassy for a K-1 interview for the first time??
Links to the K1 Visa Guide:

The info here is very useful. Read through them first so you will have a rough idea on what things to expect.

If you have any further questions that's not covered here, feel free to ask away!

On my signature are links of medical, visa interview and CFO seminar experiences.

I cant change the date im stuck with what i have got.
My ex-husband was agreeable to the move until he got everything in his hands i.e house and everything in it, car etc...
Then went and got a court order on one of the children, preventing that child from leaving the country without courts permission. He cant even go on holiday without permission.
Now i have to seek court approval for us to live in USA, which will be decided by a complete stranger, arghhhh
Leaving my child behind to live with his father is not an option.

Maliciant - I do have a brown belt in tae-kwon-do... biggrin.gif Let's check into the meetups further. For sure, me and Dani will meet up for the Dublin Irish Festival in OH. We're just likle 4 hours apart. Yipee!!! Who knows, you just might have us as an alibi for a weekend getaway to the east coast. wink.gif

Shan - I am so excited for you. Please do tell when you get to see her and the pictures don't forget. smile.gif

Gemmie - I can print out certs but lordy it is so expensive there and I won't be working when I get there so that may be a long shot. I might proceed with a masters or law though. I will yet have to see my options. Or maybe I would just be at home, doing some embroidery, or gardening and stuff like that.

Dani - K1 was something we thought we had a better leverage on. Same things Gemmie cited. It just looks like when you go to the US for a visit, they won't really mind that much.

Mara - set the date when this is. I will take care of the printing of the shirts using old school silk screen methods! LOL Or maybe we can have like sunvisor types and have August Filer embroidered on it. What do you think?

You can't get your black belt in america? This might surprise you but there are many martial arts studio's of all kinds in america... the teachers and teaching style may change but I think it's more about the student than the teacher, the teacher can only help you learn, the student is the one who actually decides to learn or not.

Hello Fred! I am just about getting ready for work. I am now working Europe work hours. I am scheduled to do some audit and gap analysis at the office so I will be swamped. I am happy about it though. I need the distraction and I need it fast. I am also almost done with my Lean and Six Sigma Yellow Belt and come January will proceed with my Green Belt training. It's kinda sad that I would have been able to complete Black Belt towards the end of 09 if it were not for the K1 visa. But, as I said, these finer things in life are more than worth it.

Take care you guys...

All hail Maliciant... I think I have not had enough sleep in the past 3 days too and that's what's causing the crankiness. There's this construction going on beside the flat that i am renting and so yes, the beatin' and bangin' does get into my nerves especially when I need to sleep since I work the night shift. It sucks big time.

I am now getting ready again for another shift. I have decided to just go back to the office and get some things done and sleep at night.

I do think lack of sleep is my problem and thus it is adding extra load to my sensitive female side because I am missing my country boy.

Cuchita, hang in there! We are all here to suck this up.

Gemmie - I know where you're coming from. I originally planned to start with my masters degree in Environmental Studies next year and I was so excited about it as I am getting the degree for free! I had so much planned ahead of me and now that I am engaged with my SO, I need to let go of all the wonderful things. I am a manager at a young age, I have a wonderful daughter who keeps me going. My family is very supportive of me and I have so many offers here and there. Now, I have to leave all these behind and be a housewife... My SO is not against me getting an employment but we are both on the same page about bringing up the kids with having their momma with them all the time.

Imagine having to transition from being a busy bee career woman who juggles work and motherhood all the time and turning into the momma of the house.

But then again I think... This is just one step to achieving the finer things in life - Happiness, love, contentment and a wonderful wonderful married life.

It's not so bad after all...

The whole waiting game sucks! I wish I could just go to sleep and wake up and it's NOA2 already. smile.gif That would be great.

And you know, it's my birthday month. GIve me the gift that I WANT!\

Dani and Gemmi - thank you so much for your advise. Great tips. I will check out Clinique this weekend. I have tried their moisturizer once before coz I have some dry areas on my face. It's amazing! I never had any breakouts whatsoever. You're right Gemmie, Tea Tree is really good for oily skin and I trust Body Shop too.

Shan- relax... It will be here and we are counting down the days along with you!

Any touches? Any movements on Igor's list?

Gemmie! You say the right things at the right time! LOL I have that mouth-open-when-asleep issue sometimes too. I guess it's because of congestion, the body has the mechanism to make you opne your mouth when you have a hard time breathing when asleep. heheheheh

I am planning to get my makeup at the Body Shop too. I haven't tried any of their foundation. I have oily skin on my face I hate it. I was thinking about Maybelline or Revlon or maybe Clinique. I just need to find the right foundation as oiliness is my problem. Any suggestions?

And please, do away with the denial at POE part. You will do just great. The Pygmallion Effect!

Gemmie, you have 33 more days to go!!! I am not down to 43 more days and Fred is now down to 53. Happy dance in a few weeks. Yippeeee!!!

Maliciant, I am very happy for your girl. At least you will be around when she gets interviewed. Oh well...

Dani!!! Again I missed you. All these things that I bought yesterday were all basically spoliers for myself. My SO adores me even with my "good morning lookl". LOL You know what I mean. I know I snore when I sleep and he finds it the cutest thing in the world... what the?

I honestly think it's the fact that I am so excited about the upcoming wedding and my friend advised that if I really want to achieve that "glowing" look, I would have to prepare months before that. LOL So here I am. And girls and guys, it's my treat for myself. My birthday is coming, remember? tongue.gif

But truth to tell, my SO is actually the biggest spoiler in the world. He wants me to go ahead and do whatever I want to treat myself this birthday of mine and so the big light bulb lit up. Viola! Shopping at the Body SHop! LOL I have never really been vain my whole life. I don't know if you call my behavior vain for yesterday. hahahaha!

We were talking about wedding makeup and hairstyles yesterday. I told him that I was just scouting for some tips and how-to advise on the web. We both come with background and experience in theater and so it was an easy task. Then I said, I just want to look beautiful but not overdone and he said I will always look wonderful to him. I don't normally blush, but he does that to me. All the more adding to the pressure! LOL

What do you guys have in mind for your hairstyles and how do you plan to do it? It's so pricey in the States! My goodness! That's part of the reason why I bought my own here, coz I can't afford it there.

*sorry I have stupid fingers today*
