Okay guys! A little info you might find helpful. I mentioned before that it had been almost a month since our NOA1 and that we still couldn't view it online at CSC. So, when I hit 30+ days, I sent

VISA APPROVED!!!

I was very anxious untill I heard the news. Mario said it was the easiest part thus far. He got there early and didnt bring electronics that way they let them in ahead of the others with electronics. Once inside he spoke with a very nice lady who took his birth certificate and copy along with the I-134 and all supporting documents for that. Gave all originals back after looking at copies. Then he was asked to sit and wait to be called again. A nice gentlemen called his name, he went to window and was asked only 2 questions: 1) When did you meet. 2) When did you last see eachother. That was it he looked at pictures that were sent in with proof for I-129F and did not look at one piece of evidence Mario had prepared not even new pictures of our last meeting in April. He then told Mario he was approved and would get his visa in the mail. THAT WAS IT, WOW!!:dance:

CONGRATULATIONS!! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I also want to share my good news!! Approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so freaking easy. Guatemalan interviewer... Im soooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations to everyone that got their recent approvals. We're just finalizing the last parts of the wedding so almost done. We got the lease this week, and grabbed all the utilities - which brings me to a few questions:

We're supposed to let USCIS know when we change address. Is this only during active petitions or during until we get our greencard? The address that I wrote that I would be moving to was her parents since we didn't have our place yet; however, since we just got this place, it has a different address (of course). I was thinking about not bugging them about it and just saying I moved from the original address to this one when we got married, using the new address for the AOS paperwork. However, if we have to let them know anyways, I may as well file it now.

Question about the I-864. She doesn't make enough so we're just a cosponsor, who is her Father. Her Father easily earns enough by himself to cover the poverty limits for us; however, he files his taxes jointly with the Mother. Do I need to also do a I-864 for her because of this? Or is this only done when they jointly make over the poverty limit but not by themself.

Last question and of course, the most boring: When I finally do my POE, I was going to do it on August 19th. I was thinking about taking my Bestman with me in the car and he'll train back. He has no issue going through secondary inspection but will they make a big fuss about it? I don't want to do it if we're supposed to go alone.

I was going to take my Maid of Honor with me in my car when we took my trailer load up too. I really don't think you'll have an issue if your friend goes up with you as long as your friend has a return ticket. Under the circumstances i think its expected to have a friend with you to help you move. Just have your friend get a letter from his employer stating he has a job in Canada and the date he is expected at work. I was talking to a lady who took her sons trailer load of stuff and they had no problems bringing him his stuff. THe guys at the border are alot more relaxed than we think and it wont be an issue for your friend to go with you.
