Oh my, now I need to start getting rid of all the porn, I hope I can locate all of it on time before she gets here.

Well, you finally have a real approval. Congratulations.

Now if you get your butt in gear and get the remaining items to your fiancee and she finishes Packet 3 & 4, she might get an appointment in November and you could have a spectacular Christmas this year. Time to start cleaning up the house and get prepared for a great change in your life.

Start checking out flights from Kiev to your closest international airport. You will probably need her to make a connection some where in Europe. Don't book the flight until you know all the documents are in her possession, the packets are completely filled out, all translations are completed and certified and you have an appointment date. The NVC can move pretty quickly when they want to. By the time you receive the approval in the mail the NVC could already be done and the case sent to Kiev.

I recommend that you schedule the flight about two weeks after the interview to give her plenty of time to get her visa and say her good byes. It takes the embassy in Kiev about a week to send out the actual visa in her passport.

Congratulations, you are going to have a lovely adventure in about 1 1/2 months.

Matako...If you're serious, gross. If you're joking, gross. Please at least give appropriateness a go, will you...? I'm no prude, but there really is a limit to what you can reasonably say in a public forum. I'd say you're pretty much crossin' the line and leaving an unfortunate impression of yourself. Verbal diarrhea is a curable disease. You're the one holding the cure. 'Nuff said.

January 2004: Met Laurent at the Bibliothèque nationale in Paris

February 2004: We became an actual couple

January 29th, 2006: I left France to return to the United States--AWFUL to say goodbye!

June 2006: Finally convinced Laurent that a K-1 visa would be more time-effective than trying to get an H-1

August 1st, 2006: The K-1 petition is finally in the mail and on its way to Nebraska...WooHoooo!! And yes, I remembered to attach the check! :-)

August 3rd, 2006: USPS online tracking shows that my petition (sent certified) was received at the NSC at 5:05am

August 14th, 2006: NOA1 received USPS!! (I-129F recv'd at CSC: 8/4; NOA date: 8/10; last touched: 8/11)

October 2nd, 2006: I MISTAKENLY thought we had an approval...False alarm...Back to waiting...

October 3rd, 2006: TOUCHED!!

October 4th, 2006: REALLY AND TRULY APPROVED!!! Email notification lists 10/3 as the NOA2 date.

Later that same day: TOUCHED...AGAIN! Hope that means I'm in a cozy box and moving to NVC this week...

October 10th, 2006: Received official NOA2 via snail mail.

October 19th, 2006: Case received at NVC!! AWESOME!!

October 20th, 2006: Case forwarded to Paris!! DHL says two shipments were headed that way. Must be in there somewhere...

October 27th, 2006: Received official receipt letter from NVC via USPS.

Unfortunately, perhaps the best solution is not bothering to respond to this at all - just feeds the fire.

My hunch is that the OP is probably a 14 year old with acne. Either that or a 40 year old virgin that still lives with his mother. The last time he saw a woman's genitals was during his uneventful birth.

I see no reason to believe someone whose main contribution to this forum has been false advice to those seeking help and reassurance.

Agree. The fact that the false advice was deliberately misleading and that other posts by this 'person' are only meant to be hurtful or cause controversy leads to the conclusion that this OP is here for no other reason than to cause trouble.

Sorry... no support or congratulations for me. Indeed, what goes around, comes around.

8-30-05 Met David at a restaurant in Germany

3-28-06 David 'officially' proposed

4-26-06 I-129F mailed

9-25-06 Interview: APPROVED!

10-16-06 Flt to US, POE Detroit

11-5-06 Married

7-2-07 Green card received

9-12-08 Filed for divorce

12-5-08 Court hearing - divorce final

A great marriage is not when the "perfect couple" comes together.

It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.

kitkat! I totally thought that too!!! Majizee's posts were very similar to these posts! Isnt there some way to see if a poster has changed thier screen name? Anyway, I really hope that it IS the same person, because both Matako and Majizee have beneficiaries from Ukraine, and I dont want them giving the rest of us a bad name!

Matako, I wish you a long wait in security checks and AR at the NVC.
