Had our biometrics appointment today at the East Hartford, CT location. It was really quick and easy and there was only one other couple there. The whole process took less than 10 minutes. Nothing left to do now but wait for approval!

No, you don't need those unless your evidence is scant. Most people don't include them; check out the pinned topic by Gary and Alla who chatted with one of the directors on evidence for ROC.


Thanks! I went ahead and included them anyway since I had already had them written up by a few people.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionI-751 June 2012 Filers
Hi There,

Just getting everything together for the I-751 myself, hoping to mail it off next week. I was reading the instructions that come with the form and it says to include..."Affidavits sworn to or affirmed my at least two people who have know both of you since your conditional residence was granted and have personal knowledge of your marriage and relationship."

Just wondering how official those should be and if one of those people being a family member would be allowed?

Thanks for the help

Yeah, sounds like a good plan. And you seem to have just the right attitude about this whole process, flexible! That's something I definitely need to develop , just too much of a planner for all this unkown I guess!

Best of Luck with everything!

Hey Miss Jess, Wow that's great that your wedding venue is so felixible! Your date is about a year away so it should be safe I would think. Just wondering, what's your plan if you get a visa sooner than excpected? Would you wait to come over untill 90 days before the November date or move the date up?

Oh and good luck with getting your packet out on Monday! I'll be hoping for a quick NOA1 for you guys.

Our NOA1 was dated the same day they received it so over a week seems long. I wouldn't worry too much but it's probably worth calling to check on it.

Good Luck!

We just filed our I-129F last week at the Vermont Service Center and I got the NOA1 hard copy yesterday, very exciting!

Just wondering if any other November filers have a wedding date in mind? We are planning ours for August 2010, hoping that's enough time...


Good Luck Everyone!

It has been crazy hot here in DC lately, I think it's meant to be 96 today. David is arriving this afternoon (yay!) and hopefully this heat doesn't scare him away!

Got back from stateside yesterday and I rang the Embassy this morning at 8am on the dot. I was told that I hadn't been scheduled an interview date because I hadn't sent in my document checklist.

There is no way on this earth that I didn't send that checklist. Which means they've lost it.


So sorry to hear that you've had this set-back. Hopefully they'll be able to sort it out soon and still schedule an interview this month. Fingers crossed for you!

Some happy new to report...visa approved!! David said everything went very smoothly this morning, everyone he dealt with was really nice and he was in and out of the embassy in about an hour. We're both so relieved and happy to have this part of the process over. He probably won't move over till mid-June but it's nice to feel that there's nothing stopping him from coming over as soon as next week if we want!

We will write up a review in our timeline later today or tomorrow for those who are interested in the details.

Best of luck to all of you getting ready for your own interviews!

Do u think they may ask questions if all the documents they requested are dated b4 the P3?


I don't think it matters as long they're dated from the last month or two.

Congrats on getting that P3!

On form DS-157, on #9, they ask to list all the countries you have entered in the last ten years, like, even tho I went on vaca, I have to mention it? I visited Europe, but it was like 1 or 2 days in each country every time, should I list that? knowing that there are no stamps on my passport?


We just decided to add a supplementary sheet and list all the countries David had traveled into as best we could, even though he had no stamps in his passport for the European ones. It turned out to be a pretty long list but that's what they asked for!

I don't think so... seems a lot slower for me, and not as nice to look at.



Yeah, it's definitely moving a lot slower for me as well. :(

Mrs Naddy, that is very, very helpfu. Has your genius ever been officially recognised in France?

Now, Mrs Dog is going to ask one of the most dumb questions ever to be asked in the history of VJ! Be prepared to be shocked at just how dumb Mrs Dog really is.....here I go

Original documents to be brought to the embassy on day of interview: Specifically - birth certificates and divorce certificates. Mrs Dogs' dumb question:

Obviously it is the beneficiary's documents they want, but do they also want the USC's birth and divorce certificates too?


I was just wondering that myself actually, obviously my fiance won't have my original passport with him (as I won't be there), but should he have my original birth certificate?

In the UK Interviews 2010 thread they said you can call the DOS to find out if the Embassy has received your case - we're going to try, given that calling the Embassy costs £1.20/min and there's a minimum of 15 minutes on the phone......an experience I've already had the joy of from my J1 visa days :bonk:



Miss Jess, do let me know if have been able to fathom out the menu of DOS and found an option to speak to a live person, or even an option to check your status?

It has got me beat! :help:



I just called DOS and got through surprisingly easily! I called 202-663-1225, I pressed 1 on the first option and then 0 to bypass the next menu and go straight to a live person. I gave our case number and names and she was able to tell me that our case has been received in London and that packet 3 was mailed out on March 8th! So excited about that, we should have it any day.

We went ahead and booked the medical today as well, they didn't ask if we had gotten packet 3 yet, they only wanted our case number. They seemed to have lots of appointments available (even as early as next week) but we booked for March 24.

Congratulations ash-n-flow! that is awesome :)they sure are earning my respect up there hehe!


My fiance has been calling the NVC since yest and they still do not seem to have our package.Megan what is the update on your's?We have like identical time -lines so yeah I figured maybe they did/will ship ours together.
Oh and my fiance says that he is only asked our NOA2 receipt number,not the usual NVC Petitioner/Beneficiary name and birthday fare?
I read that they ask the name and birthday questions ,not the receipt number.


Hmm anyway ,do keep us posted everyone:)

We are very much rooting for you justar and carol and nigel!!!



I just got through to NVC tonight (603-334-0700) and they asked for our case number and the names and birthdays of the beneficiary and the petitioner. They were able to tell me when they received our case and when it had been sent out to the embassy but they did not have any tracking information on it and did not know if it had arrived at the embassy yet or not, they told me to call the embassy directly to find out.

Hope this helps!

Some happy news to report for November! We just got an email today that our petition has been approved (on 02-19-2010) and mailed! Our NOA1 was Nov 5th so hopefully that means some of you guys with that date or a similar date have good news headed your way soon as well!

It's been hard waiting but the joy now is worth it!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

I've managed to resist checking on our case for a few weeks in the hope that when I finally did there would be some exciting news...there wasn't.

It still only tells me that our case is under "initial review" and that it was received on November 5th. Does this mean that it hasn't even been "touched" this whole time and if so, is that a bad sign for us?

We got our NOA1 on the 5th but I keep checking the USCIS site hoping the case will be "touched" so I at least know someone's looking at it.

Hopefully November turns out to be a lucky month to file!

Good Luck Everyone!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it ok to be unemployed while trying to bring Fiance to the US?
Thanks everyone! Really great hear that this shouldn't be a problem for us!

And Guitario, my Fiance is from London, U.K. and is working as a structural engineer (designing moving parts on buildings). I don't really anticipate him having any trouble finding work over here....once he's allowed to work that is!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresIs it ok to be unemployed while trying to bring Fiance to the US?
Hello,

My Fiance and I just filed our I 129 last week. I had to put unemployed as my current job status on the G-325. I have a degree in Photography but I'm living with my parents and have no "real" job at the moment (mostly unpaid assisting other photographers in order to prepare for starting my own studio in the future). I don't really have much money of my own at the moment so I don't think I meet the requirements for the I-134 needed but my parents (who I am living with) are fairly well off and willing to fill out a I-864 affidavit of support for my Fiance. Also, my Fiance has a Master's degree and works as an engineer so he has plenty of his own assets and does not actually need my financial support.

My question is, will my unemployed status affect the outcome of our K1 application? Or will they take into account that he can support himself or that my parents can?

Thanks for your help!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof on an ongoing relationship sent with the I-129F Package?

I actually did that! I made a timeline of all our visits and I scanned and printed out all of our passport stamps to show those visits really happened. I'm almost done with my package. Tomorrow I'm going to print some photos of us together at a photo place and buy a folder to put all the papers together and an envelope to ship it in. Thanks for your advice. :)



Cool! Best of luck with those finishing touches, and with the whole process! :D

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresProof on an ongoing relationship sent with the I-129F Package?
One of the things we included was a timeline of our relationship with all of the visits we have had back and forth listed and explained. We then included the copies of each of our passports (all pages) the dates on the entry stamps then back up and confirm our timeline. The nice thing about this is it shouldn't take you very long to put it together because you can have your fiance scan their passport pages and send them to you electronically to print and include in the packet, should be able to it in an afternoon.

Hope this helps!
