Questions about how to answer certain I-29F questions

good luck getting the consulate to do it

We did. It wasn't a problem at all. They'll notarize any document as long as it's being submitted to the US government. This is from the instructions for the consulate in HCMC:

Documents for non-U.S. citizens that are to be used in the United States may also be notarized. You are requested to bring your passport or other ID card for identification purposes.

Looks like the price went down since the last time I was there.

I explained (twice) that the letters don't need to be notarized. The only reason for doing it at the consulate is because:

A) he's already there, in country, so it would be relatively easy to do, and...

B) it's proof positive that they've met the two-year meeting requirement. They have a US Consular Officer as a witness.

If they had none of the other traditional evidence - zero - and submitted nothing other than the notarized letters of intent, the petition would be approved. There's no way USCIS would question the stamp and signature of a US Consular Officer, especially when they both have to present ID to get their signatures notarized.

I actually live much closer to San Lorenzo than to Oakland. I live in Hayward. There's a great little Asian market in San Lorenzo, on the corner of Grant Avenue and Channel St.

My wife is from central Vietnam, so we didn't spend a lot of time in HCMC. No more than a week or so at a time. She's got family in HCMC though. Her cousin owns a little hotel in Tan Phu district, south of the airport. I'd give a medium two star rating, but it's relatively new so it's pretty decent.

USCIS doesn't care when you originally met, especially if it was more than two years ago. Your answer should make it clear that you've met, face-to-face, within the past two years. Tell them what date you last entered Thailand, and that you are currently living with your fiancee in Thailand.

Know the market well. I grew up and Mom still lives 4 blocks away.Mom doesn't like to go in there as she says it stinks. But we both know that to an Asian it smells like home

More questions:

1)I-29F Question 11 they ask "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance or husband/wife before?" I understand "Have you ever filed for this or any other alien fiance " but, what are they asking when they add "or husband/wife" ?

2) Fiance Letter of Intent (which I plan having notarized at the US Consulate) in this one letter with both names or 2 letters with each name ?

3) I planned on copying all pages in my passport, but I travel a lot. I have over 100 pages that are stamped with various countries entry/exit stamps. If I copy than cut, paste, consolidate and go double sided I'm still looking at around 14 pages. Is this too much ?
