Woohoo!! Sounds exciting your 2 weeks in Brazil.

I'm so happy here friends, life is finally great, all I can do is be grateful, can't ask more.

Yesterday I went to the SS Office and the lady said my name is already in the system, and around Dec, 15th I should get my card on the Mail, if no, to go there and she can check it out. Under my name on her computer screen she showed me: Employment Authorized. And she said I may be able to get a job with my temporary stamp (I've got one at JFK airport). So far so good... let's see what life brings me more.

Thank you for your welcome to the USA, it means a lot to me,

Be safe and keep in touch,

Beinha

I hear you, this season is pretty crazy. I was able to get one day of next week because my baby is arriving from Brazil, otherwise no cigar..

Well, soon you will be able to enjoy some nice sunny hot weather in preparation for the interview and travel.. Best of luck

Thank you all! And grats on the updates!

Incredibly, right now I have no doubts...

The link with the K-1 instructions from the embassy is so helpful, I got impressed. It says updated on October 09, and the list with the order of documents was updated on november 09. Me and James got happy to read those together, because we saw that we have everything on its way already, all paper gathered or beign sent, medical and police pending, but will be done this month. So I'll have the whole of January as extra time it seems!

Thank you so much for the tip about the e-mail! They answered all my 3 e-mails sent on the same day, the 3rd with the date of the interview. Made me feel safe about sending them questions if I have any too.

Cant wait to be in a nice sunny hot weather. I feel bad though, that Alice will be arriving in the US during the coldest period. She will have to bundle up!! hehe

Hi there... I came from 93 to 40 F and trust me, I can't be happier! Nothing would bother her, the weather, the food, the full time English tv and everything. The only thing that matters would be with you. We can adjust

Enjoy your time in Brazil!!

So very true! When I visited James last year, I arrived in December, I so didn't care it was freezing outside! Actually, got to see snow for the first time in my life and he was there with me, was a special moment, I woke him up like a kid "loook looook it's SNOW!!"

I don’t want to sound selfish, but I am so waiting for her arrival, regardless of the weather. I will be prepared with her winter cloth to avoid the temperature change. Well I guess I am being selfish, I just want her to be here

Where is everybody going to leave?

I am from New York

Hi, friend...

Every man in this world should be as selfish as you are!!! That's not selfish, that's love...

By the way, is freezing in San Francisco right now... my first day with no sun and the fog is all around the bay.

Yesterday I went to the pool to get some sun... go check my profile pictures and see how it was!

haha

Approved folks, could you share what proofs did you take for the interview?

I'll take pictures of us together, letters, copies of the box stamps of gifts sent, flying ticket of my visit to US and e-mails. But the e-mails are mostly from last year, after that we used Skype. I could print Skype logs, but I'd have to copy and glue the history, which is 260 pages. AND, copy and glue could be considered that it takes away the veracity of it all, right? So my idea was: take screenshots (printscreen button and then copy image on paint) of just the call history, which should be much less then 200 pages and should keep the unaltered proof that we call each other everyday (thank God for Skype!). What you guys think? Or am I using already too much proofs? Please share what you guys did.

My Fiancee took with her:

Emails [updated ones], post cards, copy of skype log [dont kill too many trees, lol], new photos [she maid an album], airline tickets, copy of my passport entries, hotel receipts. Very important, pictures of you, your fiancee and your family. the engagement. In our case, the engagement and the family pics were very interested to the CO

- 10 pages of printscreen skype history with only the date and titles showing dates from the beggining, middle and current date (it would go for over 500 pages of full history on skype and MSN but it makes just non sense)

- 12 full emails, 4 for each year of relationship

- 10 pages of printscreen from our emails inbox showing the date and titles

- a photo album

- tickets

- passport stamps

And the Consul asked for anything... nothing, no single prove of relationship... none. Same happened with Lu&Keith.

About the printscreen, if you are on a PC, press the printscreen button and paste it on Microsoft Word, it works just fine and I thought it was easier to print out
