Hi everyone,

I would like to thank everyone again for welcoming me to this board a month ago when I joined. I haven't been on much due to being extremely busy at work and trying to put together my K1 petition, oh yea and when I'm not doing that, I'm always sleeping I'm almost done with the application and I'm planning to send it early next week, just waiting on the G-325A from my SO and I have to take my passport pic.

Anyway, wanted to say congrats to the ladies who got approved! must be a big relief to say the least. I've just caught up with the last few pages and saw the two reports on the embassy experience, now I'm a little worried and was hoping to get some clarification:

1) I was told the fiancee was not required to be with the SO at the interview. I'm thinking if we get lucky enough, and lets say my SO gets an interview when I'm in my third trimester and really pregnant and can't travel to go to the interview with him, will this be held against him? If the interview is some time after I give birth, I def. plan to be there. You're not "required" its just "recommended" A big recommendation being that its a big interview. But if your preggers and can't make it I'd send a letter stating this with a photo of you and your belly....that should be more than fine and prob benefit your interview.

2) The G325A form asks for employment history for last 5 years. My SO was attending UWI until this last semester when he was forced to take a leave cause he couldn't afford tuition, when he did work during this time, it was doing odd jobs and not on the books. He just recently was able to get a legit job. Will this be held against him? Should I put that he was a student in that section, or leave it blank? He doesn't have to be working. Just include a seperate sheet stating the exact circumstances you stated here. Treat this application like a resume. Employees like to know why there were breaks in your employment. As long as you explain the situation and not leave it to them to guess you should be fine. many people don't work while in school so that is not a problem at all.

3)I've gathered pretty much all of the evidence that we have to prove our relationship including pictures, emails, phone records, and travel itineraries. The problem is when I flew there to see him I did not keep the boarding passes I was thinking of copying the stamps on my passport and putting it together with the email confirmations that I received when I booked my airfare online. Is this enough proof of travel? I don't have prove of hotel receipts b/c my SO paid for the hotel when I visited. Your stamped passport is more than enough. Don't worry too much bout hotel receipts cause many people just stay at the SO's house of with family so that is not a required item. Just showing that you were on the island an photos with you and SO are good. Emails, letters, phone bills are good too.

4)Finally, how do I put together all that information? in a binder with tabs? scrapbook? Just put it in an organized manner. clipped together. You can have 1 folder of envelope of all the "proof of visits and relationship info". The service center just pulls it all apart anyway and puts it in their own format. As long as you look organized your good. I would suggest if your photos are digital to just put them in a word document with a caption under each and print mutliple photos to one sheet. This i think is better than giving loose photos but thats just my opinion.

Thanks!

ps: sorry for the long post.

With that it's every man and pickney for themself cause mi go back to bed

Ok, mi have one topic....

Why do you think it is that there are large concentrations of one or the other gender marrying certain nationalities???

Ie, with American/Jamaican marriages, the WOMAN is most often AMERICAN same for MENA and African marriages, in Russian/American marriages, the MAN is most often American and the same for Filipino/American relationships.....

You know I have thought about this a lot and haven't really come to a good conclusion. I know they discuss this all the time in the MENA and Russia forum and have quite a varying degree of what they thing contributes to such a vast difference in certain genders seeking other nationalities. Not sure what I think about it all...I am going to have to think on this more.

i think american men go after filipino women because they have a stereotype of being very biddable, meaning they are willing to let the men run things and and the women run the house.

men want russian women because they are viewed as being very pretty...almost exotic...

plus it is more sociable exceptable for a male to come home with a flipino wife and russian wife vvs the other way around.

With that it's every man and pickney for themself cause mi go back to bed

boy u been sleeping a lot nowadays, u sure is just sick u sick?

one more question: How many months worth of phone bills are sufficient as secondary evidence?

while i don't think there is a cut off, the more u have the better for u, i.e. you should have something from the beginning, middle, and clos to the interview date.

other's might have provided other time periods.

Why is it that when men are sick, hungry or tired, they expect the woman to drop everything and cater to them? Did he forget that you are sick and should be pampering you. Mek him go siddun yah.
