Good luck bramirez!!!

Does anyone know if I need the i-129f form, noa1, and noa2 for the interview? I'm trying to find the copies I made for the i-129f but can't find it.

you don't need those forms for the interview. The NOA2 you'll need for the AOS stage

Hello everyone, I just finished spending a week reading this thread. In the meantime, I have been in contact withDiana, who I remember from elsewhere, and my new friends, Ken y Leidys. I submitted I-129F a week ago for my fiance and whilst checking my bank account discovered that the check sent to USCIS was cashed today. It was good reading all of the stories and I hope that I too will enjoy the success that many of you have already found. Right now, I'm waiting for the NOA2. I'm off to Colombia for a week on Friday and know that as usual it will be so difficult to leave. My next trip will be for the interview which I hope will be later this summer of early fall. When I have questions, I only hope that I do not aggravate the rest of you. Thank you in advance for any help that might come my way.

Does anyone know how much they're charging in Colombian pesos at Banco Helm? I know it's 350 USD which is supposed to be about 654,000 pesos, but I assume the change rate will be a lot higher. Not a big deal, but just curious about it. :)

My wife told me there were no additional fees charged. You just have to figure the exchange rate along with the conversion fees, and you're good to go.

Hello all! We have reached the stage in our journey where it is time for lifting conditions and it has cause me to pause and reflect. My wife and I have accomplished a lot over the past 3 years. My wife has learned to drive and is a honor student and scholarship recepient in college. My step daugther is bilingual and going to the first grade. It has been a very challenge eperience but also very rewarding. Visajourney helped me so much and we have made very dear friends due to this forum. I would like to wish all good luck in their journey and hope they are as blessed as I have been.
