I couldn't get a ticket with SF as the POE so I got Rome to JFK in New York, sorry Cheyemo! I was reviewing all of the POE's and they all seem very easy.....as long as you have a long layover in case of lines, but most seem very friendly. I got him a 3 hour layover in NY for customs and immigration and if he misses that plane there is another one 2 hours later. Gosh I am going to be soooo happy when this planning and scheduling is OVER!

After this exhaustion, I figure as long as he is in America, I'll DRIVE to NY from SF to get him!! :rofl: :rofl: :thumbs: :thumbs:

He just picked up his visa and mysterious brown envelope! :dance: :dance: :dance:

OMG How exciting!!!! I cant believe it! You're so lucky, you will be with your love really soon! I just came back from Nica today and I already miss my baby. You deserve all the relaxing you can handle! My hubbys POE is 6/15 woo hoo! What a relief being on the other side!!!!

Congratulations to EVERYONE :thumbs: This makes me feel soo much better about my husband's upcoming interview in El Salvador. 3 weeks to go!! But i'm already nervous. I'm scared because I'm in college and he just graduated, so we don't have much income, but we have a co-sponser that makes more than enough. I just hope that is enough. And I visit him everytime I have vacation.

My Evidence consists of:

-phone call records (lots of them)

-Copy of my passport with all the trips I've made

-some pictures of us together, we dont have wedding pictures because my family wasn't able to go, and we hope to have a better wedding here in the US once I graduate.

-A joint bank account

-And affidavits from my parents and our wedding witnesses

Is this Enough?

Once again CONGRATS to EVERYONE and good luck to the upcoming interviews :thumbs:

Estefani, I think you'll be alright. What other pictures do you have besides the wedding? I would beef those up. Even if you think some of the pictures are less than perfect, send them anyway. The point is that the CO sees you two together. Joint bank account is :thumbs:. Don't forget to write a letter explaining the important dates in your relationship.

EVERYONE! Don't forget! Write an evolution of relationship letter. Even if you're not interviewing in China or Vietnam. It can't hurt. It should clearly and concisely detail the significant dates in your relationship in chronological order.

For mine, I included:

Date we first started talking on Skype

Date we were "official"

Date I went to see him

Date I went home

Date he proposed

Date I accepted (hehehe... I had to get over the shock and seriously think about making this bi-continental relationship a permanent thing)

Second visit

Marriage

Date I went home

NOA1 Date, Marking the beginning of our Visa Journey and the point where they should have some sort of records of their own

What you guys include is up to you. I left out most of the sentimental stuff but included notes like when I met important people in his life, like his mom and brother, or when we followed a certain custom, like him talking to my "mom" about the dowry or taking me to bow at his mom's feet as a show of respect. (Gag all you like :lol: I had a good time.)
