smile.gif APPROVED!!! Yay!!! Jeremy said that the interview was a breeze. He spent less than 90 minutes there. They asked him a few questions. Looked at the documents and said "approved"!! Woo woo!! He'll send me an embassy review and I'll post it later. But yay!!! We are both so happy. They didn't even want a lot of the stuff we had like a cert copy of my birth record or tax transcripts past 2007. We are really grateful for all the information and support from VJ. Thank you everyone!!! kicking.gif


Nice !

Just had a sad thought - the good news is that a lot of us are moving along in the process with medicals, interviews, US entry but once we start AOS well all be in different threads sad.gif I wont file for AOS until June. Guess I should start making friends with the K1 November 08 filers hahaha. If all goes well, Jeremy will get his visa on Thursday. Happy day but I'll miss y'all. We've been together for 6 months! It's like we're breaking up lol.



Maybe we can just create the "AOS for the july 08 K1 filers" what do you think ?

These are the instructions cdneh posted in the stuck at nvc thread

DHL. That is how your papers are shipped to the embassy. I kept a close on eye on it once we were at NVC.

You won't know for sure it's your case, and you won't know which tracking number is yours, but if you can see they are sending a package to the country you are interested in you can check with NVC to see if they still have it. Towards they end we rang a lot, but in the first while only if I saw a package headed here.

NVC to Embassy using DHL...

www.dhl.com

You should choose USA for the country if this comes up on your main page (where it is leaving from). After that, on the toolbar at the top, put your mouse over Track and a menu appears. You want track by reference.

For today, in the top box where it says reference I put :
EXP 12 JAN 2009A <---- this should be about one day before the NVC tells you it left.

Below in the "shipment pick up date range" put the day NVC told you it left as start and finish. Sometimes you have to play around a bit with the dates, but I've usually managed to find what works this way.

In both boxes today I put Jan 13 2009.

At the foot of the page you will see a little box marked track with a red arrow, click on that and a list should appear ...there were 3 pages today.

The only trouble I have relates to the day/date thing. I am a day ahead here in NZ, and always getting an error "The date cannot be in the future" Course it can...that's where I am tongue.gif

To find anything shipped on a Monday I put the same date, in my case Jan 12 in all three boxes and that worked to on their Monday, my Tuesday.


hope it helps.


That helped a lot ! Thank you soooo much.
So I did it and only one package was sent to France but it was not on 14th but Januray 15, it arrived in Paris FR on 20th, so it might be mine smile.gif

Hey guys, I have a question. Jamie just called the DOS and they said : your case is not in Paris yet, goodbye !
Is it normal ? It left the NVC last wednesday (14th). When I saw the other french like Kiristen and Jeremy, it takes 5 days to go from NVC to Paris...
I begin to lose my mind, so tired of this K1 sad.gif

Juliette I wouldn't worry too much about it. I never called DOS to check on it. I used the DHL trick thingy to figure out when it arrived in Paris. It could be that it is at the embassy but hasn't been logged in to their system yet. That's probably it. I say do the DHL thing to check to see if it has arrived yet. Sometimes they'll say "your hardcopy file hasnt arrived yet" which really means that they haven't processed it yet. The USEM in Paris is pretty fast. I bet you'll get p3 by the end of next week or the beginning of the next.


Do I have to call NVC and ask for a DHL tracking# ?

Can you track your file to see if it is in Paris? They could just be slow with getting it on the system.

My case left NVC on the 12th and its not yet arrived at the London embassy according to DoS helpline. After nealy 6 weeks at NVC I had hoped they would be a little faster on this bit!
I am not sure if it has not arrived or just not been logged as arrived by the embassy. I followed the DHL tracking guidance and all the possible London packets have arrived and been signed for by the end of last week:(


it takes them upto 10days to log onto the system.
Do you have pkt3 ready to go?


My packet 3 is def ready to go smile.gif

OMG,, Shannon and Nick congrats on the baby, he is so cute, I am so happy for you both, also congrats on the interview .. only a couple more days and you will be together, that is so great. Congrats to everyone else also on medicals, interview dates etc. This must be so exciting for you all. I miss you guys but its hard to read somedays even though I am so excited for you all.

Keith and I still email daily from his work, He isnt living where he can be online now so its just a couple quick hellos, how are yous etc from work. He still says its over and wants me to move on, says he cant ask me to trust him again... shame he wont let me make that choice , he feels he has to make it for me. Oh well Nevermind. I am doing ok, still rough days and horrible nights, I still cry myself to sleep everynight and still sleep with his watch and picture , I know silly girl I am lol.

I did finally find a job even though I really dont care about doing anything at the moment but I have to move on with my life. I do have a gentlemen interested in me, he is older, has his own company and wants to take care of me but he is in Germany and I swore I would never go through immigration again so I am staying strong and avoiding this at the moment. We are good friends and he has treated me so well and been there for me to talk to since Keith left me. He has picked me up and held my hand. He is 13 years older and i know thats not alot but for some reason I have a issue with it. Maybe its because I am just not ready for another relationship because my heart is still with Keith and I do still love him adn would take him back in a heart beat.. I dont know.. time will tell what my future will bring.

Anyways I only stopped by to say hellloooo and to see if the new baby had been born yet , yayyyy for Ryan... Take care all of you and I will check back in a few days to see how you all are doing.

I love you guys
Chelle


I'm glad you are doing better. I know it must be hard, and it will take time for you to not sleep with pictures and stuff but one day it will go away... I hope that you will find a great man smile.gif

Today I found out that I have to get a new passport cuz' my picture on the one I have is a lil' bit scrached. I will try to get it in emergency cuz' it takes 1 month in France to have a new one !!! You will see that I won't have my passport in time for my interview headbonk.gif

Dear Koakland,

I made some research... So, we are supposed as french people to do the "publications des bans" 2 months before the wedding date if you want your wedding to be official in France also. It is a big surprise for me I have to admit cuz' I didn't know it.
They say that if you get married without doing this "publication des bans" the consular in L.A or S.F (for you) will maybe ask for an interview with the couple for a few questions, and they will check if the marriage is acceptable.
I sent an email to the guy in charge of that kinda case in LA and I will let you know informed.
Jamie and I will get married in Vegas middle of march, so it is too late for us to do the publication des bans. Damn ! If I knew this before !!!!
If I begin to put all the documents they need from me and Jamie together it will take at least 2 weeks, so #### the publication des bans. I'm so tired of all this process, K1, publication des bans, AOS etc... You can't imagine !!!!

Just wondering.


Probably about the same, around 18-20.




before my interview yesterday. They handed me back the photos and some other evidence that we had sent in our originial 1-129f package. They said it wasn't needed anymore.

When i was called for my interview an hour later. The lady asked to see new photos of us. I gave her 12 and she was satisfied with them. She also asked to see older evidence of our relationship (we have known each other 10 years), so i gave them the evidence that they had just returned to me , hotel receipts, phone bills etc aswell as other evidence that i had on me smile.gif

It's only a big deal because we have very little, and it's *affecting* my life as an individual and as a couple.

Otherwise we would all not worry about it.


Don't take me wrong, I was not judging you... I'm freelance so some months I make lots of money and some others none.
But like I said, I don't like money so I don't care, I just need my man, some food in my plate and a roof smile.gif



Thanks for the words of understanding and encouragement. It's like Gemmie said -- it's a worry because we have so little. I wasn't worried about money until now, because the funds will continue to dwindle down until I manage to find a job post-graduation in May. So it very well could come down to keeping food on the table and a roof over my/our heads. I can't let it get to that point, and if something's not changing (me working, Andy finding a job to pay for the upcoming expenses), it WILL come to that. I would be an idiot if I didn't do everything possible to avoid those problems. But it puts a huge strain on me since I've already got a full plate with my coursework and preparing for the job hunt ahead. Nothing's gone as planned since Andy's student visa plan fell through originally - the finances just get worse and our reunion day more uncertain.

I'm not trying to be a cry baby or whine and moan on here. Still, it's easy to forget that sometimes it's not as simple as "just don't worry about it." There's only so much time on your feet a body can take before you're going to crash. That's where I'm heading. I don't expect everyone to understand; I certainly didn't understand until recently how someone can get into a worry about money. I assumed it was irresponsibility. In my case, it was planning that just didn't pan out.

ANYWAYS I probably just shouldn't post anymore since I only seem to be bringing down this thread, and I don't want to take away from anyone's joy. I'm backing away slowly for awhile until I have only good news to post.

I have to get to class now anyways. Good luck with the upcoming medicals, interviews, sleepless nights with infants, etc. wink.gif


This thread is here to share good and not so good stories. And you know it Aubrey because you began that thread smile.gif

Are any of you planning a honeymoon yet? If so, where are you going?

We're talking about doing an NYC elopement followed by a few days in Napa Valley, or possibly doing the honeymoon before the wedding in Milan or Paris, then eloping in NYC. To save money on our awesome British photographer (who is willing to fly to NY, but at a cost), I'm half tempted to bring my dress to Paris/Milan and have a nonlegal ceremony with just us 2 and then do City Hall in NYC on the way back. I know I've heard that mock weddings can be frowned upon due to what does/doesn't legally constitute a marriage in that country- but it's not going to be religious so it can't be legally binding that way, we won't have an officiant and we won't have guests to witness it aside from the photographer. Plus, we'll be legally married within the week.

I think I'm just getting desperate at this point, since all our plans came to a hault. Do you guys think this is playing with fire?


Jamie and I will go to Hawaii for our honeymoon smile.gif Can't wait !!!

I have a question for you... I don't want to be rude if some italians from Milano are around... Do you know Milan ?
If not and if you have to choose between Paris and Milan just SKIP Milan.
I went to Milan for the Chili Peppers tour and was very excited, but I can tell you something, this is really not a beautiful city...
The good thing was that Milan is the place where I met my love smile.gif

Cool Kiristen ! It means that Paris is fast, and it makes me happy !

OK.
we have, (all stuff in my name)
b.certificate + 1 copy
marriage certificate + 1 copy
divorce decree + 1 copy
police certificate + 1 copy
affidavit of support from Shan + copy inc evidence( bank stuff etc)
affidavit of support co-sponsor + copy inc all tax forms, bank stmnts etc
original NOA1 and NOA2 plus copy of each

plus a whole bunch of evidence from after we filed showing on going relationship (skype call logs, photos, cards, letters from the kids etc)

Question 8 we put N/A .

Edited to add:

A new letter of intent from Shannon saying she still wants to marry me!

It is why I'm concerned, Shannon already submitted an affidavit of support when she sent the petition. I am sure that the one you have today ready for the interview is not the same one that she sent 6 months ago. So why did she put N/A for question 8. I don't want you to have issues at the interview !!!

Hello my friends, Jamie called the NVC yesterday. The lady said that they are very busy and they try to go as faster as they can. My case is still at the NVC but might be send to PAris before the end of the week smile.gif
I also received the affidavit od support I-134 from Jamie. I put this post on the general embassy forum but maybe you guys can help me with what you know :

Hey guys !

I just received a package from my man with the affidavit of support and all the documents I will need for my interview.
I just read it and I need your help :
- Question 8 I have previously submitted affidavit(s) of support for the following person(s)
He replied Juliette Dumont (me) in july 2008. He put an affidavit of support with our 129F petition in july 2008 cuz' it was supposed to be faster. we put one in with our initial file as well so don't worry.
But it was for the same person and the same K1 visa, I'm scarred that they take that for 2 affidavits, so not enough incomes.
- Some of his documents (employee letter, bank statement etc...) are copies, is that ok ? The I-134 is notorized

The bank stuff we have was really hard to find and Shannons bank point blank refused. The co sponsors bank was a little more accommodating and faxed through all the info we needed so we dont have "originals" so to speak. Just remember you need two copies of everything evidential. Hope that helps a little?

Thank you for your help
Juliette



Thanks ! So I have to make copies of each document Jamie sent to me ? What for ?
On the affidavit of support did Sannon reply on question number 8 that she already submitted a affidavit of support for you in july ?

NVC received it today. She said to call back on friday to check and it will probably be gone by then smile.gif
No way, I will call on wednesday hihihihi...


Thats fantastic, at least things are moving.

Does the Embassy in France turn interviews around quickly? Do you have a date in mind when you want to move over?

Hassle them all...it seems to be a July Filers perogative! devil.gif

Apparently France embassy is not too bad. Around 1 month between the day they receive the case 'til the day of the interview... I'm supposed to leave France at the beginning of March cuz' my wedding is on march 14th... Maybe 12th if we can cuz' the hotels in Vegas are way less expensive at that date smile.gif
And yes you're right, I will call tomorrow smile.gif devil.gif
