Hi,

This is just a thought... and I know that it would be terrible for the people who've been here a while, but I know that the newbies are always lost.

I remember when I started here and I was just getting together my I-129F package how absolutely confused I was about this site. I'd find a document that was important and if I didn't print it, I'd never be able to find it again. I've got a friend who I recommended this site to and she also told me that she just doesn't get it. The set up. For each stage of the process, I email her the different parts that she will need.

For example, for someone who's in the K-1 I-129f application part of the process, here are the important pages...

1) Assembly

2) The guide

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1guide

3) The flowchart

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=k1flow

4) The k1 visa tips

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...amp;page=k1tips

5) Affidavit of support tips

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=support

6) Example forms

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=examples

7) K1 forum

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=80

8) K1 update forum

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=128

9) Your portal page

http://www.visajourney.com/portals/

10) Regional discussion

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.php?showforum=100

11) And 3 or 4 more links from the Visa FAQs page

http://www.visajourney.com/faq/k1faq.htm

12) Downloads of forms

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...page=downloads#

13) Example forms

http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...p;page=examples

While this may be 2nd nature to anyone who's been here a while, it is not obvious to the newbies... It's confusing. There is no one page that explains all of these links anywhere if one doesn't sit down for hours, literally, very many hours, to try to understand the organization..

For example... maybe there needs to be a page with links to every one of these. Maybe separate the guides pages to A - K1, B - K3, C - CR1, etc and include every one of the links for all of these things. Or separate it into stages with all of the links included... Initial application phase, Embassy stage, AOS stage, etc. It is NOT easily understood.

AGain, these are just thoughts. I love VJ and all of its functions for me. I'm just trying to maybe stave off some of the common type questions from people who are new since the set up of VJ isn't always clear.

Thanks for listening!

This is an EXCELLENT idea. I will try to make this page very soon. Very very excellent to have a single page that lists all the utilities and items on the site that you would want to know about. :)

I am an Ewok. I am here to to keep the peace. Please contact me if you have a problem with the site or a complaint regarding a violation of the Terms of Service. For the fastest response please use the 'Contact Us' page to contact me.
