QUOTE (Jeff B. @ Jun 7 2009, 01:12 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiance filled out the G325a and everything looked fine until I noticed in the lower left corner of the pages. She did not send me the copies in the numerical order...even though all 4 pages are the same. She sent 2 copies of page 2 and 2 of page 3. Will it matter since they are all the same with the same information? Hope this makes sense to someone!

even though they are the same content but u will look on bottom left side u will see this...

(1) Ident.
(2) Rec. Br.
(3) C.
(4) Consulate.

so u need to have the correct numbers of forms...

just wait others reply....

Do you have enough other evidence so that the chat history doesn't matter?
Visits, phone call logs? If so, then you may not even need to include your chat history.

But if you want/need to include the chats, I think a random sample will be sufficient, perhaps one screenshot per month, or one every other month. The goal is just to show a continued relationship. From what I've read of interview experiences, often times they don't even look at half the evidence people bring with them.

yes,we had lots of pictures together when he visited me,e-mails,postal cards.i able to saved my phone call logs when i still had a landline. here in philippines they had pre-screening interview before yuo will have an interview with the consul.
thank you!


When my husband had his interview they didn't look at any past evidence...granted we are in totally different places.
A recommendation to maybe help the lost information you have....is write a note saying you and your fiance met this date, spoke on skype (or whatever you used), and you sign it, your fiance signs it, and if your parents always saw (if your still living at home) you always on...have them sign it too. if not, just you and your fiance sign it. i would pick out a few emails from each month you have spoke and a bunch of photos of course. if you guys ever used the phone...call your phone company if you dont have the call log and they should be able to send it to you or you should even be able to look it up online.
letters from each of your parents stating you have had a legit relationship from 05-08 (i believe you said) wouldnt hurt and have them sign it. im sure your embassy isnt have easy to get through....so that would be my own opinion of what would help you....not that i have gone through your embassy.

good luck on your journey

thank you!
we didnt have lots of emails, he just started sending last year when i told him that e-mails can be a proof of on going relationship.im living alone.

I bought a minila folder, the kind that opens up, I fastened everything thing with the ACCO FASTNERS then I
had dividers, the kind you put in a binder with colored tabs, hole punched them from the top and inserted white
tag with topic for each. passport fotos have our name on the back of the foto and inserted them individually to
transparent baggie and stapled bag on top to a sheet of paper with persons name. All forms are signed the only
problem I have is that my fiance sent me the G325A form and signed it with a blue pen and I filled out all (4) in
black ink. I 'am sending package by USPS Express Mail Return Receipt. Thank you all so much here in vj this site
was a tremendous help and I did alot of reading.

Thanks

My fiancee told the CO that I was there, but the CO didn't call me in. Things went well regardless -- visa was approved and my fiancee is on her way here in a couple of weeks.

Possibly. And you have a perfectly good explanation. My wife had FIVE phone numbers during our relationship in two different countries and not a question was asked about it. Simple enough to explain if they did.

QUOTE (conny @ Jun 10 2009, 01:44 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
My fiance's NOA2 is still not received 6 months after the petition is filed and NOA1 received. He has to come to US by end of August for his classes in college and it looks like we won't be able to get his K1 by then. I know what you're going to say - F1... But even if we get I-20 form from the college now we wouldn't be able to submit petition for another visa, right? Even if we can, how can we then continue K1 process after he receives F1 visa and stays in US?

By the way, is there a phone # I can call to speak with USCIS representative to find where my K1 petition stands?

you can call the ur service center and asked them about the status of ur NOA2.they had contact numbers in ur NOA1 hard copy i believed or u can check in USCIS site online.

I just found out last night that my fiancee's visa will be denied because she used to work at a go go bar, I have been informed that if I withdraw the current petition, I can file a new one that will reflect on the situation better. We don't need judgement, just advice. We are both good people, she did what she had to in order to feed her baby after the father beat her nearly to death and left them in the street. I don't know what to do now, there is so much at stake here.

who told u that it will be denied? she done any interview already?

The problem with the USCIS system is that everyone tries calling them before the 6 month mark. We all have to wait and are impatient. If I worked for USCIS and I got calls all day from people without real issues, just "I wanna know..." I would limit things too.




we are almost two years into this mess, they dont treat me any different when i call than the person that is just at the six month mark infact they are prolly more rude than they are to them.

calling makes no difference, it dont reach the people that have the real answers to what is going on with ur case, about the only thing it can do is make u feel like u did something and if ur really lucky if u just got approved and it has not hit the government site yet that u log onto u can get the news first hand........at least that has been my experience with this messed up system.

why it take so long?

it suggests calling uscis but in actuality will that do any good?

my poor fiance is about to go insane and its getting more difficult convincing her that all is ok and this is just normal.
i dont see any reason they should deny our application, i make enough $ ,have no criminal record and never been married and my fiance has no problems either.

is your timeline correct, you've just sent off your application and you're calling them once a week? seriously though? blink.gif you hope to achieve what w/ calling?
