Hmmmmmmm. Ok, instead of a big long post that's wrong, I will ask and do it correctly next time! smile.gif Andy, every time I copy/paste the list to edit/add our new info, I lose your format. What's the trick to doing it myself and keeping that nice format?? UGh! It shouldn't be so difficult! Heh..... es tut mir leid...wink.gif (or summin like that)

German subforum....Andy, that's a great idea! LOL...I'd probably spend 3/4 of my time looking things up nowdays though...I haven't been in German class for over 15 years now. I guess I forgot to mention the first time that my Sis/foreign exchange student's name was Stefanie! She went by Steffi, too, of course.

We used to be even closer neighbors...I was born and raised on the Illinois border in Beloit, Wisconsin. I only moved up here about 13 years ago, so I'm very familiar with southern Wisconsin and northern Illinois. smile.gif M.

Eh, I don't rem...a few days before that. wink.gif Heh. Thanks...I'll update it soon. I thought that was what I should put, but somehow it seemed like there should be a date for when you received it....thx for letting me know. smile.gif M.

BTW, for some reason I looked at your photo and thought you were the American....but since you're not, I MEANT "danke" hehe. I took German for 7 years in school..wonder how much I remember. At any rate, I noticed you were the German when I saw Steph spelled with PH instead of f! We had a German foreign exchange student from Hamburg my entire junior year of high school..it was great! We still keep in touch more than 15 years later, and she's been back over a couple of times. I can't wait to get to Germany to see HER one day! (providing I'm speaking to Andy and not Steph...if the latter, I'm sure you will share the message..heheh) smile.gif M.

Middle East and North AfricaIN FREAKING HAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tomorrow!!! WOOT! It is so easy to just *feel* your excitement from reading all of your posts...so touching, and brings back so many memories. I would never want to relive being apart, but I would love to go back and relive that moment of reunion and knowing it was finally for real and done. ENJOY every bit of it; you'll look back on it the rest of your life. Isn't it amazing how it all seems like a never-ending dream (especially for YOU and a few others who had horrible wait times!) and then POOF! all of a sudden, it's time!!??? I barely know you on here (just a bit!) but, along with everyone else, I am just *so* very happy for you!!! (F) (F) Here's to tomorrow, and every day afterward... M.

You must have some way to prove that you were together in the UK other than your passport though, right A? Joint bills in both of your names, etc etc....you'll find something. Also, when I first started speaking to you, I didn't realize you had been married so long either. That's a huge point in your favor. As long as you have all of your paperwork together, you should be fine...and don't worry..if you had filled something out wrong, etc. they would let you know (via RFE) believe me! :) M.

Everyone is correct. We're from Wisconsin and we went thru Nebraska. Hope it's faster now! ;) Anyway, you won't deal with Milwaukee unless you choose to get biometrics done there later(for AOS way down the road in your case) and also for the AOS interview. Best wishes! :) M.
PS..we found Milwaukee to be really nice as far as the officers went.. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresGoodbye and good luck
I read this back at the time as well, and thought the same as the rest...that you were being very level-headed and sweet about all of it(and I'm sure it hurt like the dickens too, so kudos to you for that!) Really glad to read that your relationship is being given a second chance, and it sounds like you've still got the same mentality about it. All the best to you, and hope everything turns out perfect for you! :) Michelle

I would wait out this week anyway..others may tell you differently,but that's what I would do. It took a long time for us to get our NOA1 for Adjustment of Status(which is down the road a long time for you, but just saying..) I do definitely know what you're saying tho..you just wanna KNOW..esp. since the last one didn't come...wait it out this week if you can, and hopefully I'll be reading a post that you got it! :)

PS..just a friendly reminder, that you'll get a lot more help in these forums in general if you go to my controls at the top of the page, click on edit signature, and fill in a timeline for yourself..or just fill in your timeline period. It gives people a good idea on how long it's taking you, where you're from(different parts of the country and different countries in general later in the process have very different timetables) and they can offer better advice. Good luck to you!! :) M.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but looking at the dates I still think it's very possible that you just haven't received your NOA1 yet, and that it's still coming. Also, (again, correct me) If I remember right, I believe the petition MUST be mailed by the USC inside the United States...best wishes to you;I hope you hear something soon. M.

I would look for you, but it's 4am here and I'm really tired finally!! ;) I would think the answer to this question would be somewhere in the guide, and if not, on the USCIS site itself. Other than that, I'm sure someone out there will give you a more definitive answer tomorrow. All the best! M.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresAny opinions on what we should do?
Totally agree with Boiler. If you haven't even filed yet, K1 is nearly impossible(tho not, but VERY VERY unlikely)at this point in time. K3 (or I guess CR1 but I admittedly know nothing about that and very little about K3) would be your only options at this point. :( I wish you the best whatever you decide! :) M.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresChild Support Arrears
I'm never absolutely sure about things like this, but I would have to guess absolutely not. I doubt it would even be an issue if you just hadn't felt like paying and didn't. Due to the nature of the situation, however, I can't even see it ever being brought up. They need to know that you make enough income per year, but they don't delve into what your actual bills are. You should be fine. :) M.

PS...to the above poster...care to explain or are you just trying to needlessly scare someone?? Sheesh.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresHow and when have elected official been getting back to you
JMO, but I would call the office. We had to enlist a congressman at one point during our Adjustment of Status process, and we looked up the number online, and called them. We asked to speak to the representative that deals with immigration issues. They were very polite and helpful, and put me right through. I spoke with the woman several times over a 2/3 week time frame and I got through right away every time but once. In that particular instance, she rung me back a couple hours later. Just something to think about; hope you get your problem resolved! M. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK-1 Visa and Section 8
kitkat..I think he meant he would rather wait four years until she graduates college, to do the visa and get married..rather than have her drop out of school.

To the OP,exactly what Zyggy said pertaining to her assistance. You may reassure her that she is an American citizen, and thusly entitled to any goverment benefits that she is eligible for. Also, Kitkat explained what section 8 is. Nothing in this process will affect her ability for financial aide or for her low-income housing.

She DOES still have to file an affidavit of support(I-134 in this part of the process) on your behalf, even if she doesn't(and if she's on low income housing, she very likely doesn't) meet the income requirements. As long as you have a co sponsor, and THEY ALONE meet the income requirement, you will be just fine. Each sponsor has to meet the income requirement on his/her own merit alone...but if the petitioner(your fiancee) cannot meet it, he/she can get a cosponsor. If this person who needs to meet you before they commit to that agrees to do this for you, your problems in that regard are solved. Good luck. M. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresNew and it may be a silly question
That is very much a personal decision and one only you should make. You should read the guides here as to filing a K-1 visa, decide if it's something you think you can handle alone, and then proceed. That's my technical answer. ;)

If you would like my personal OPINION, I would do it yourself. This site is an absolutely wonderful resource. I didn't know a think about immigration when we started our process, and my husband and I managed just fine. It really isn't that difficult, you just have to be careful to be very mindful of details. If you READ THE GUIDES, that is the singlemost important information I can tell you....and then if you are still unclear on anything, post your questions here(after using the search key to find out of the question has already been asked numerous times) you should be just fine.

I wish you well on your journey whatever you decide to do. M. :)

and PS..when you do file, please DO make a timeline(I know you can't as of yet) I really helps people to know what stage of the process you are in and what country your SO is living in(which embassy they are going through) in order to give you proper answers. Good luck! M.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresOriginal W2's? And DS....?
You don't need em, don't worry. Transcripts, which can be obtained free are fine as well. You can bring the originals if you have them, but the transcripts or copies will be just fine. All the best, M.

PS..you should bring originals of most other things...divorce degrees, marriage certs, etc...but they likely won't even want to see them; it's a precautionary measure to take in case they are 'bad' copies and can't be read,etc.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresReligious wedding first?
As Ari said, you would HAVE TO BE SURE that the religious ceremony did not in any way constitute a legal marriage. Also as he said, it is possible that these ceremonies sometimes do get misinterpreted by the CO's and it delays things...and sometimes people do things this way, and it doesn't delay anything. I think you will get more replies, but in the end you will have to consider things for yourself. What I, personally, would do if I wanted to do this, was not even mention the religious ceremony. I do not in ANY way condone lying to a CO(or anyone) but you wouldn't be lying..all they want to know is if you are legally married or not..if you know for an absolute fact that you wouldn't be..there's no problem..so why even bring it up and have the possibility of problems from them? JMO. Good luck! M.
