CONGRATS EVERYONE ON THEIR APPROVALS!!!!!

Ok, now I have some questions/concerns. I have scoured and read the boards on these subjects and now just want to know others experiences. First we receive our NOA1 on November 27th. Since then he came to visit me in the US during Christmas and I went back with him to Germany in January. Fast forward – He is coming back to visit me at the end of March. Could this really be an issue for him to visit me since we are in the K1 process? And if we did receive our NOA2 before he visited will they let him in the country to visit? I read conflicting stories on this but can’t find any rule saying you can’t see each other during the K1 process.

Second, question. Is it really an automatic red flag if the woman is older than the man? I am 7 years older than my fiancé but no we know, including ourselves, has ever questioned this or thought we were an odd couple. Could this really be problem with getting an approval? Should I plan to attend the interview with him in Germany?

Any insight would be appreciated. After reading the boards more and knowing NOA2's approvals are rolling, I'm starting to worry that something will get screwed up!!!!!

To be honest I think there IS no hard and fast rule.

I went to see Mr. Jess in January i.e. after we'd filed. I ended up entering via Miami as my flight to Orlando was cancelled. I was asked the purpose of my visit and I said 'to run the Disney Half-Marathon' - the truth, but I just neglected to mention I also had a fiance to spend time with too ;)

I have asked this question myself and the advice I received overwhelmingly was - don't volunteer any more information than necessary, but DON'T LIE...if they ask him he should tell them. He should also bring plenty of proof of ties to his home country - return ticket is obviously good start but if he;s asked he'll probably need more. I took my lease on my apartment and proof of employment, as well as a (large) unpaid credit card bill...I wasn't asked for any of those things but it's worth having just in case.

Apparently the Immigration Officer can only tell you've filed for a K1 once you have returned your Packet 3 to the embassy. If (hopefully!) you are at this stage by the end of March make sure he has all of the above plus a copy of the I-129F application and your NOAs. Ultimately it is at the discretion of the IO to let you in - plenty of people who have posted haven't had any problems visiting, but some have.

I'm visiting in April and worry about the same thing, so you are not alone :)

That is quite freaky...you are literally about 2 exits down the M62. Weird!!

Mr. Jess ran the PHP thingy-doodle again. SIXTEEN decisions today on our day alone. Go VSC - whatever they're feeding them up there I hope they keep this up cos if they do that means they'll get to us next week.......
