The Very Secret Diary of Legolas Son of Weenus - by Cassandra Claire

Day One: Went to Council of Elrond. Was prettiest person there. Agreed to follow some tiny little man to Mordor to throw ring into volcano. Very important mission - gold ring so tacky.

Day Six: Far too dark in Mines of Moria to brush hair properly. Am very afraid I am developing a tangle.

Orcs so silly.

Still the prettiest.

Day 35: Boromir dead. Very messy death, most unnecessary. Did get kissed by Aragorn as he expired. Does a guy have to get shot full of arrows around here to get any action? Boromir definitely not prettier than me. Cannot understand it. Am feeling a pout coming on.

Frodo off to Mordor with Sam. Tiny little men caring about each other, rather cute really.

Am quite sure Gimli fancies me. So unfair. He is waist height, so can see advantages there, but chunky braids and big helmet most off-putting. Foresee dark times ahead, very dark times.

Hey Sally

Well, seeing as you asked!

It doesn't look like I have been requested to show any evidence of a continued relationship. Will I be asked for this at the interview? I only ask because it would be a pain having to go into town to print off some photos if they aren't needed. I have her boarding card from when she visited in April which I will take along anyway.

Also, what documents do I need to have photocopied for them? Is it just my birth certificate, police certificate and the I-134 (which I already have three notarised copies of anyway).

Thanks!

They didnt ask me for any proof of relationship although I had about 6 photos with me, emails and stuff like that to show if asked. But I would advise to take it with you, would be sods law if you dont take it they will want to see it.

I photocopied, my birth certificate, police certificate and divorce papers. Personally id rather them keep photocopies than certified copies that you may need later.

Good luck hon

Photocopy everything that is on the check list that you need to keep the original off. If you don't have photocopies the Embassy keeps the original document.

Congratulations to everyone who has been successful over the last few days.

Not been on the list much recently as I decided to find out if bronchitis in the US was as bad as the UK strain. It is and you get a medical bill as well. :(
