I was just talking to my boss and it looks like he is going to let me go visit my fiance in October for two weeks. I would be traveling for his birthday (I will arrive the day after his bday its 1/2 the price). Our NOA2 is at Vermont and not scheduled to arrive until December 25th. I was just wondering if there is anything we can do while together that would be productive for the interview stage? I am going to keep my itinerary, receipt of purchase, my boarding passes and copies of my passport stamps. We will go together to get his birth certificate and divorce certificate. I spoke to the US embassy in Chile and his police certificates have a validity of 2 months so we will have to wait until we know the interview date for that. But any ideas you guys have on what we can do together for the interview would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

The good thing is that all you need to do is what you would normaly do, visit parks (maybe bring some cousins), restaurants, concerts, theater, maybe a weekend getaway all the fun stuff you can do with your SO when on vacation. Try and take pics with both his and your family. Obviosly save receipts, tickets, etc.

My manager just gave me the OK to go down there in Sep. as well, can't wait!! Just enjoy yourselves and take many pics.

Seems that you have been reading the guidelines and have things under control. As Cesar & Cata mention, take a variety of pictures at different locations, different clothing and with friends and relatives.

Awesome that is amazing news! I am going to make sure we take like 20 or more pictures a day. haha I thankfully already have a lot of pictures of me with his family and him with mine. But hey a few more can't hurt. :P Have fun in September!!!

Yeah I read the guidelines several times and contact either the embassy or other ppl from Chile who've gone through the same thing. I'm so worried that after all this time of waiting and everything I will make a mistake. So I am checking everything over and over. lol Hope you get your NOA2 soon! :)
