I really wish they get through us fast and get to you as soon as humanly possible.

This waiting is akin to torture. For everyone.

Just saw your signature! CONGRATULATIONS! St. Patrick's Day must have paled in comparison to the celebration drinks you must have been having once you finally got the notification!

Before Journey:

Met online in 2002 as friends. Fell in love in 2005. Got engaged in 2010.

K-1 Journey, January 2010-July 2010:

NOA1: January 29. RFE: April 21. NOA2: June 4. Interview: July 15. Visa in hand: July 20. POE: July 22.

July 24, 2010: Married in front of 150 of our loved ones on a beautiful, sunny day. Living happily ever after and oh so thankful that 5 years of a long distance relationship and 7 months of a visa process is condensed into one line.

Wedding pictures! Because I'm shameless. http://s956.photobucket.com/albums/ae47/AmeriDaneWedding/

Adjustment of Status Journey, January 2011-March 2011:

January 25: NOA1 for AOS and EAD. Feb 5: Bio appointment received. Feb 7: RFE. Feb 11: Sent RFE response. Feb 23: AOS transfered to CSC. Feb 25: Biometrics. March 11: EAD approved! March 19: Received EAD. March 21: AOS approved! March 25: GC in hand!

And we'll live happily ever after.. for the next 2 years, anyway.

Evidence of engagement can be the receipt of the ring purchased, but this is not mandatory if you can not provide it. About evidence of financial support, these are the affidavit of support you filled out, tax transcript for the past 3 yrs, tax return for the recent year, letter from your employer (this must state your job title, wages & duration of employment) and the proof from your bank that you have some tangible amount in your account (this is not really important).

It has to be the petitioner (American citizen) that is required to provide all these documents. They are (USCIS/NVC/Consulate)just trying to know if he or she can take care of the beneficiary before the beneficiary gets a job.

Every embassy requires different documents for the interview process so check with the embassy in Slovenia for the proper documents.
