hi all,

I'm also in the US now, although not with my K1 in hand yet:(

I'm visiting for thanksgiving. We had a return ticket to use so well... I jumped in the plane! I'm now waiting till I get my interview date (I sent packet 3 back 10 days ago) and I'll jump in a plane back to Paris. I'm fearing it's gonna be in January..

The custom was easy as never before, eventhough It's my 3rd trip within a 6 month period. I just said "thanksgiving" "couple of weeks"... the more I worry about it the smoother it gets.. it's so unpredictable..

Well, Happy thanksgiving to all of you that are now in the US, and sorry for those still waiting...:(

Suzie, have a wonderful wedding!!!!

So Raff, after all the stress, you are finally 'home'. So happy for you. I hope you have a lovely wedding as well. :)

Gaura, i'm assuming you're home now as well. I hope your flight went as expected...smooth!

The TB is a relatively new requirement. It's good you got it! Did you happen do get a vaccination record from the doc to submit with your AOS???

lili, any news on the interview yet? I'm glad you got to come for Thanksgiving. Hopefully you will be back home soon! :)

We put the wedding pics taken with our camera onto my daughters laptop (ours was busy at the time) and she was kind enough to do a complete restore (curse that geek mother of hers for showing her how! :lol:) Anyway...waiting on others now ...and still procrastinating about AOS. :whistle:

Having a blast tho! ;)

AOS varies... EAD/AP are usually 3-4 months or so. GC can depend on many additional factors.

You do not need to rush to be sure the aos paperwork is in before the I-94 expires. Especially if you will married just before it expires. Many people wait although it's recommended to get it done asap.

Congrats dale..lovely pic

Hi April filers!

I've got a little question here.

When I was in the US end of September Kai and I got NOA2 and we decided to get ready for the interview (all the I-something and so on). We wrote the Letters of Intend and signed them. As u can see in our timeline we experience serious delays between NOA2 and actual interview and now I'm wondering if it's gonna be a problem that the letter of intend is 3 month old.. I already know the birth certificate is not good anymore (3rd time I go get one at my town hall this year: it starts being ridiculous..)

Interview is on Thursday..

any clue on that one?

thanks :)

Hi April!

That's a beautiful picture Dale. Congratulations on the marriage.

Nick's EAD and AP were approved in about 60 days. I believe the timeline says 59, but I don't know where VJ starts counting. We got an email saying card production ordered, but allow 30 days to receive the card. I've seen a number of timelines that get the card in a week or two. So he's getting ready to make his first employment applicaton today.

Sorry, I can't answer the question about France. Have you read the Paris reviews on VJ to see if anybody mentioned having a problem because of an older letter. London didn't even ask for a new letter of intent. Three months isn't so long and certainly newer than your original letter of intent. I bet it's fine.

Hope you all have great holidays! :star:

hi all!

My interview went ok.

They didn't ask for Kai's new letter of intend. just mine.

and they accepted I864 instead of I134 for the supporting form (yeah I didn't read well enough my packet 3 and we had already prepared everything according to the VJ guide. Unfortunatly the Paris embassy VJ guide was wrong saying we needed to fill I-864. I updated it so no other couple make the same mistake again:))

the consul said I'll probably receive my passport back sometime next week :dance:

:dance: :dance: :dance:
