he mailed me all copies or the originals of what he sent to USCIS.... theyre at home...

we're following this.... which i found here on this site (thankyou!)

honestly it all seems so daunting! and its like my brain is just to overloaded....


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 notarized (by a US Notary Public), 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 phone bills, cell phone bills, emails (you can edit personal info with a marker), letters (edit personal info also), stamps on the letters (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!)

i was just going to ask about that... i thought that the other person - the one that wants you to go over to their country put that evidence in when they requested it and that you didnt need it?

Asia: East and PacificLAND DOWNUNDER
oh no not at all no damper

sydney.. thats where i'm living....
moving to CAlifornia when they do the whole visa thing.............

ok i'm not going to get anything done - tests or Police check until i get my NOA2? does that sound good? or wait till i hear from the embassy?..........
SharynYFemaleAustralia2007-04-26 01:05:00
Asia: East and PacificLAND DOWNUNDER
so we can get blood tests done by our local GP?....
anything else we should get done prior to that medical test?...

is the police check also compulsory and needed? because if i need to get one done i might as well start now...

also do we need to get vaccinations done? i think my last shot was a Hep C shot.....

sorry if its written somewhere i know i've missed it.

just one other thing ... i already have my green card which i have to renew next year for 10 years .... so if i were to move now do you think that everything i've done will still have been done for nothing?

also if my daughter is australian citizen by descent, can she still be american citizen also aka dual citizenship?

hi everyone
ok i moved to the Usa to marry my fiance in 07, we are happily married and have a 7 month old daughter ...

now my question is this ... if we choose to return to australia to live what is the process we have to go thru? for my husband and daughter? i know they both have to get US passports (they dont have one) ....

i was thinking about calling the australia consulate in australia ..... as i know i'd probably get a more informed answer?

thanks in advance.
