Good luck with your interview guys!

I don't think you need to take relationship evidence with you but if you feel more comfortable taking it then by all means take it with you :)

It seems like you are all at interview stage... I just got my noa1 today and am pretty excited!

is anyone at the beginning like us?

Yup! We got our NOA1 for the K-1 about a month ago. Waiting, waiting... I'm going to NY for two weeks at the end of August, so hoping that after that trip it won't be too long until our NOA2 :) Fingers crossed!

Really really jealous (but happy for) the Canadian couple that got their NOA2 from VSC in under 30 days... no expedite or anything. Wish they'd all go that quick!

July 2007 - met Jesse at a beach party held by mutual friends in Long Island, NY

May 2008 - J-1 visa expired, had to move back to Australia

July 2008-September 2008 - lived with Jesse for three months in Staten Island, NY

March 2009 - Jesse comes to Australia for 3 weeks

April 2009 - Engaged!

05/20/09 - I-129F petition mailed in

05/22/09 - NOA1!

05/25/09 - touch

09/09/09 - NOA2!

10/01/09 - due to fiance's illness, we are abandoning pursuit of K-1 at this point. Packet 3 received from consulate but won't be returned.

Geez that is quick!

Have fun on your trip... I have my hubby here in Melbourne til July 18 so I'm lucky!

I noticed you're getting a co sponsor too? We are using hubbys parents, they're awesome and are paying for the whole process too...

Good luck all!

Hopefully. Jesse's parents won't co-sponsor - they're worried about liability and are "careful" with their money, to put it nicely (although they are providing our wedding venue! which is really really awesome of them) - so the guy we're considering is a very long time client of Jesse's who heard about our situation and said he'd be happy to help. They've known each other for years and Jesse says he trusts him so that's good enough for me.

By the sounds of it though, Sydney consulate isn't really paying much attention to the I-134 (even the email I got from them basically says, "make sure you have it, but whatever") so I'm trying not to stress about it too much. It's really the only hiccup in our process because everything else is pretty straight forward unless Jesse's army history gets us stuck in AP ("other than honourable discharge" :whistle: )

While we're on the subject, when does the I-134 come into play? Do you send that back with Packet 3 or bring it to the interview?

The I-134 gets sent in the packet 3. The consulate moves super fast (or it did for me) so it is a good idea to get on to this as soon as you recieve the NOA2.

im confused, what is the I-134.. it says on google it is the AOS form... but i am filling out an I-865 as far as i am aware? is this because i am doing the CR-1 process and you are doing something different?

WOW your wedding pics are just beautiful. where did you get married?

lovely!

Cool. I am going to get him to fill out the I-134 for me when I'm there in August, since VJ reckons we'll get our NOA2 around the end of September (and I'll be back in Aus Sept. 6th, so it will be reasonably close).

Beautiful pics, Annie!
