Our noa1 is August 6 th! But why would it be that long? The end of February or march,!!!??? That's what they said !!!! ???????How many applications they have for July 17 ?

[Arinlars 19]

They have more for August! Such a joke. Making us pay more money for visits

[Arinlars 19]

I'm visiting February , should I pay my rent for March too and keep the receipt to show it to the people there? I'm taking:

-my NOA1

-the whole package except the photos and the evidence (or should I take it with me?

- A letter from my boss that says that I'm working permanently there and I have paid vacation from .. too.. and that I'm excepted to be at work at that date.

Hm. that's it

If you can afford it, I would pay your rent for March and bring the receipt. However, I didn't as I thought it might be more important to show I had a reasonable amount in my bank account to show I could support myself. I had a rent book from my landlady (we didn't have one before - I went and bought one from WH Smiths and got her to complete it retrospectively).

I didn't bring my whole package - just a copy of my NOA1.

I took photos of the room I'm renting with all my stuff in timestamped an hour before I was leaving to catch my flight. I then printed them out and put them into my folder.

I also had a copy of my travel insurance which showed my return date (although I have not returned as planned on 12 Jan as we still haven't had our NOA2 - I cancelled my flight and will rebook it when we've got the NOA2 and I have extended my travel insurance).

Having said all this, no one asked to look at anything - even evidence of my return flight! However, knowing I had all this information to back up that I had to return to the UK did give me more confidence.

I have big printed receipts with the company of my landlord for all the months I've been paying. I don't have a contract I just rent a furnitured guest appartment. I will print photos too just in case. So should I print something from the bank to show how much money I have in the bank?

My bank allows me to print statements at the branch which show my UK address. I would suggest that you have a recent statement which shows what fund you have available. From what I've read, these have to be cash funds - not credit available on credit cards. For the last couple of weeks before I left the UK, I only spent on my credit card and used cash for nothing. That maximized the amount I had in cash in my bank account. When I got to the US, I paid off my credit card.

Don't worry - it will be worth it - I can testify to that

[Arinlars 19]

I know!! I really need vacations and to see my love and more evidence haha!

Hello again, I have one more question. I have been reading this topic through and I am so afraid now about my trip. I have everything as suggested but my question is has anyone has experience with POE in Seattle? And I was thinking when they ask me

What is the purpose of visit? To say I'm visiting my fiance and our friends, and then tell them about the k1 visa that I'm waiting since August and I wanted to visit and blah blah. Like directly. And present the documents etc. Or should I just make it short and answer the basic questions without much info?

[L and T 9]

I wouldn't worry too much... I went over in October, 3.5 months after we sent in our I-129F, I was preparing for all kinds of questions, but it was as easy as a breeze. I was asked for the purpose of my trip, I only answered "vacation", then fingerprints, photo, stamp in my passport and done. If he had asked any further questions, I would have told him about my fiancée and the K1 process, but I would only answer specifically what the CBP officer asks you and not volunteer any information.

I myself didn't bring any supporting documentation, such as apartment lease or letter from my employer. Of course you can bring a copy of your NOA1, so that he can see that you started the process and it would certainly by stupid to jeopardize it by staying the the country illegally.

[Arinlars 19]

Thanks. I worry mostly if I'm denied and have to pay the ticket.. its costs 4000Euros a one way ticket from Seattle to Frankfurt lol! That would ruin us

I got back last week from visiting my Fiance. I'm from the UK and it was pretty simple. I read I'd need a load of documents to do with my K1 visa, but I didn't. They made me wait around a little so they could ask me some basic questions and then looked at my return ticket/itinerary. I'm 5 months into the K1 process. As long as you have proof you're going to return home, and can answer how you met etc. then you should be fine . I should also mention I'm pregnant, that wasn't an issue either!
