July friends - my fiance is coming to visit me this weekend and wants to use the word "fiancee" if asked who he is here to visit. That makes me very nervous. i don't want him to be turned away. Aubrey, Shannon&Nick and anyone else that has any experience with this, can you remind me what your fiances' said when questioned about their visit? He will have a copy of his lease agreement, his work contract, his itinerary w/ return ticket information and a copy of the NOA1.

Thanks all for your advice. I'm thinking that it'll go smoothly. I mean they usually ask, "what is the purpose of your visit?" He can say "for a vacation" or "visiting for the holidays". "who will you be staying with?" --" At a hotel and with friends." I guess I freaked when he said that'd he'd be honest and say "I'm here to visit my fiance." hahaha I think I'll just have to talk to him. So scared of him being turned away. I swear that he's going back to France after Thanksgiving week! :)

Tell me about it. Seeing people with my same dates getting approved is driving me nuts. It's strange cause I've been fine 'til now. :blink:

I'm more excited than ever! And let me share my excitement with you, so that maybe I can spread some happiness since some of you seem pretty down.

Each day that passes is a day that we're closer to being united with our future husbands and wives. We really are in the home stretch! The biggest part of our waiting is over, and even for those who are waiting to use the NOA2, the situation will soon be in OUR HANDS and not the government's. At last!

I am so overjoyed for the people who already have their NOA2 and have no doubt that ours are all on the way. I have longer to wait than most of you because I'm technically an August filer, but I'm starting to gather everything. By next week, the cosponsor paperwork will be in a nice little envelope and ready to be mailed. I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving and we're a mere month or two from an approval.

Christmas is nearing and listening to jazzy holiday music while driving down the snowy roads makes me feel really in love. I miss Sebastian, but the warm, fuzzy feeling of love is way more overwhelming.

Remember, we are all head over heels in love and our stories are INCREDIBLY romantic. This is the stuff books and plays are written about- falling madly in love with an exotic foreigner and fighting all odds to be together. And our stories lead to fluffy white dresses and happily ever after :).

Keep your chins up! Lots of hugs!

That is beautiful!! brings a tear to my eye!! Sometimes a long distance relationship can be very stressful but i wouldn't have changed it for anything. It makes one appreciate their partner so much and don't take things for granted. And as you said, our stories are definitely incredibly romantic!! (L)

Question on vaccinations. In packet 3 there is a list of 20 vaccinations that may be needed. Does he have to get all of them? :o not only is that a fortune, but ouch! I always wanted a holy hubby, not a holey one!

There are only 3 I think and you dont need them for the K1 but you will need them for the AOS. I'm getting mine done with the local GP as there are free!! :thumbs:

I see you updated your time line with an NOA2 date of yesterday 11-19, if you were approved yesterday how did you find out so quickly ? Did you get an email from USCIS??

K1 129 days to approval

K1 179 days to interview

EAD 45 days to approval

AP 45 days to approval

AOS 69 days to approval

Ok...so you dont need to get any vaccinations before the interview? It was in the pack 3 so figured he did. haha, my fiance will be relieved! he thought he needed all. geee, i'm bringing over an english man, not an ape from the congo!
