thanks, I guessed that too, but I was just wanting more details because the poster said he got one from Australia, and I'm Australian and didn't have to submit this, so I assume it's a requirement specific to certain embassies, and I was interested in knowing which ones

(i'm a she by the way )

It's Embassy specific as far as I know...Asia and Central/South America mostly. While I am am Australian, I live (and filed) in Costa Rica.

Sorry to confuse!!

Hmmmm...sooo...any August/September filers out there who have actually received visas and together with their SO's here in the US?

Well, I've been absent for a few days, and missed the beginning of a new forum. Dang!

Okay, so, I'm one of those August filers. As most of you probably already know, we've received our visa and arrived back to US on March 5th. We were married on March 13th and are now getting the next set of docs together for the AOS.

We are now also getting ready for the birth of our baby, due in just over a month. It's been a lot of work and also a lot of fun getting everything arranged, getting my wife on my insurance plan, with the doctors, getting everyting set up at home, etc...

Hi everyone,

Ive been back in Wyoming with my fiance for a couple of weeks now after entering on my K1 visa, and it's great to be home with my wife to be and our babies. I couldn't believe how much the babies had changed in the month I had to return to the UK for my medical and interview and also play the waiting game. I was gutted to have to leave, but I'd been in the USA for 90 days so had no other option. The babies are now laughing and being playful and are so much more aware of their surroundings than when I had to leave.. they are the most gorgeous, sweet things, and I'm really happy to be a stay home dad for the time being. Laura has now returned to work this week after her maternity leave, but I intend to live off my savings for at least a year or so to spend the time with my kids and find my feet in the USA. Plus Laura can't give up work to look after the girls as we need her medical insurance for the babies - the bills so far have surpassed $90,000 since their birth in December, which would have been obscene if Laura wasn't insured.

It's fantastic to wake up every day knowing I will never have to leave again, (even if it is to a screaming baby wanting to be fed/changed/some attention, etc.), and we also set a date yesterday for the wedding - June 4th. Everything is starting to move fast again now - we've are also in the process of asking Laura's brothers and their wives to be god parents to one of our twin girls each.

My mother has confirmed she will come to the wedding today, (I gave her a cheque to cover any flights and spending money she'd need before I left as a thankyou for letting me stay with her while I was back in the UK as I sold my house while in the USA around Christmas), but it's great for her to confirm she can make the date, it means I will actually have at least one person from my side of the family at the wedding!

I've just come on VJ tonight to find out what i need to do to apply for a SSN and have printed off the relevant stuff I need - I hope to get this done Friday when Laura will be home and able to look after the girls so I can drive down to the local SS office. Once again VJ has proven invaluable in steering me in the right direction.

All the best to all the August and September filers that have recently arrived in the USA, or will shortly be doing so, this is a great thread to continue keeping in touch.

Darren.

Hi everyone, I hope everyone is doing well. I am in Washington for another 2 weeks then I leave and put in the rest of our K1 paperwork when I get back to the UK. I have learned this past few months that good things come to those who wait....at least there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am going to use this extra time to tie up some loose ends. Angela x

Hang in there kiddo.

I know - it is just really frustrating now - I just want to get it all out of the way - someone from the UK who sent their packet 3 off a day before me got their packet 4 yesterday and their interview date is 25th April... My mum wanted my interview next week so she could come with me to London but that is looking very unlikely... never say never though - I just hope after all this that I can arrange my med for the same day...

Congrats to everyone, and special congrats to those with the new bundles of joy. My fiance arrives on the 30th of April, and our wedding will be on 7/6. I am so excited.

[Jeraly 4]

So, visa in hand yesterday afternoon!! Finally

I had many hoops to jump through for the US Embassy here in Costa Rica (seems they rarely deal with applicants from a third party country, and many barriers ensued...) , but it seems my tricks finally paid off

See you over on the new thread!!
