I'll go crazy! It's our 2 year anniversary today and first of all, we can't spend it together, second of all, there's not the slightest chance we'll get approved soon looking at VSC speed... My approximate NOA2 date moved with a whole month since the beginning of the process..

All this is simply ridiculous. How can VSC be so behind? Shame on you people! You go to bed with the people you love, don't you?
Well, we don't!

:cry:

Hello to all the new February filers!!! Good luck!!! :thumbs:

I have a question - is it weird that we got our NOA1 from Vermont? o.O We didn't get any email or text that it will be forwarded or anything. We got it straight from Vermont =/

Mine took a while too. They sent it on 16th but I actually got it few days ago. So yours is probably already on the way. Don't worry.

Hey there!!

I am Mariya and I am the beneficiary, 22 and a half years old :D I am from Varna, Bulgaria.

Me and Tim have been together since the summer of 2010. We met in the amusement park we both worked at (I was on a J-1).
We spent two summers living together and two falls/winters and a spring separate. But you all know how it is - love conquers all :)
He came to Bulgaria in January - met my family, friends and proposed ofc :P :)

He is my biggest adventure :)

P.S. Wedding planning:

For now I am only getting ideas from everywhere. The actual wedding planning I think we will start after the NOA2. It will be a really small wedding so I hope it will not be that hard to organize it.
I am going for a backyard wedding but I am lacking a house with a backyard for now :D :D

We got something in the mail!!!! For now we don't know what exactly (my fiance hasn't got it in hands yet), but it's from the USCIS. Tomorrow night we will finally know if it's our long-waited NOA1 :D
Fingers crossed =D


And Eric1Viking, your fiancée is right - have fun!!! I am so happy you get to spend time together during the process!!!

Oh and by the way - Good luck everybody!!! :thumbs:

Oh, that seems too long! Did you track the package and confirm that it was delivered, and if so, when was that? Still waiting on my NOA1, but they just received it yesterday so it's a little early yet I suppose.


They received and signed for it on 14th February. The check has been cashed. I don't know what is wrong =(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFew questions, regarding I-129F (newbie)
Thank you so much!!! You helped me a lot.
Fingers crossed - we are hoping to get everything done till Friday! :D
Mariya and TimFemaleBulgaria2012-02-07 14:18:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFew questions, regarding I-129F (newbie)
Hello everybody!!! My name is Mariya and I have few questions regarding the I-129F. I would really appreciate your help since I'm already freaking out =/

1. I want to help my fiance with the photos, so my idea is to do it on A4 paper (Word) - 3-4 photos per page with short description under them. Is that okay? Do they need to be printed as normal photos?
Also, (silly question) how do I "name" people? :D For example - a photo of my fiance and my dad - do we write "Me, Timothy ..... and the beneficiary's father" or just "Me and my fiancee father".. I know it's minor but it really threw me off.

P.S. How many photos is too much?

2. How do we separate the attachments? Is it okay if we separate them in folders, numbered - for example: "Attachment No.1 - Question 18". And then the statement followed by different proofs separated by years - "Attachments - 2010" etc. or we just put them all behind the statement in chronological order without separation?

3. G325 - Beneficiary - Do I list ALL my addresses - f.e. my 4 month addresses in the US? And if I do - do I write again my Bulgarian permanent address between all these or I just state its period and add the small gaps, while living in the US?
For example:
May 2010 - Sept 2010 - USA address
Oct 2010 - May 2011 - permanent address
May 2011 - Oct 2011 - USA address
Oct 2011 - present - permanent address

Yes/No? :D


4. If the petitioner was employed but with no contract and no taxes paid - does he list that job, or states unemployed?


5. We want to include a Birthday card from my fiance but the last two words are in Roman letters but a Bulgarian word. Do we need to translate this officially?! :D OR he can just say what it means? Or we say nothing at all?


Thank you in advance :) :*

Mariya and TimFemaleBulgaria2012-02-20 05:26:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresLetters for proof of relationship, original or copy?
Always copies! Your fiance will need the originals for their interview.

If you don't have your boarding passes - copies of your passports - make sure the stamps are visible!
We also added Birthday cards we've sent to each other, receipts from different places we've been (none of them kept on purpose lol) with pictures of us there, a couple of phone bills and chat logs. A letter from his brother stating our relationship is bona fide =D
Basically whatever you can think of that will prove your relationship, BUT not too much - 60 pages of phone bills is too much :D
Good luck!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresContacting a congressman 3 days before the 5 months mark?
We contacted our congressman today and we have 3 more days till the 5 month mark. Do you think this was a mistake?

We thought about it but with Vermount's speed things were not looking good for us so we decided to try.

It felt good actually, finally doing something for a difference =/

However, they took our details and advised us that they will get in touch with Tim tomorrow. Fingers crossed that we hear something else rather then - wait some more..

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I need legalized Birth Certificate?
L + T, I've never heard of something like that.. I have to check.

And as to the phrase to be added to the translations - isn't this for the petition only and not the interview?
Mariya and TimFemaleBulgaria2012-09-18 10:20:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresDo I need legalized Birth Certificate?
So I finally started translating all my documents for the interview.

On the letter from the embassy they stated that the docs have to be translated only, they do not need them legalized.

However, I was wondering if on a later stage a legalized translated copy of my Birth Certificate will be needed?

My problem is that if it is needed, I will have to get a new BC which will take forever, as mine is "too old to be legalized" =/

Help, please :(

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresWhat to send to fiance for K1 interview
Actually, a second letter of intent is not required by all embassies. If it is not on the list sent to you by the US Embassy, it is not outstanding.

IndiaCould you please evaluate my K-1 visa case?
I think that as long as you love each other and your relationship is bonafide you should be ok . The only "red flag" may be the age difference - But come on .... nowadays it is something normal. /Our age gap is 11 years - he /the petitioner/ is 11 years older than me ... but who cares :unsure: / Good luck !!! :thumbs:
