Hi all! Now that we received our NOA2 (let the joy sink in 10 minutes) ready to tackle the next piece. I am a little confused on what next steps are for our petition I included the I-129F, and the G-325A. I know I need to complete the affidavit but what else will he need to complete?

Will we also need below? the verbiage as to US embassy handling is confusing and will there be another fee??

DS-156K, Non-Immigrant Fiance(e) Visa Application: This is only needed (and should be provided) by the US Embassy issuing the Visa.

DS-156, Non-Immigrant Visa Application: Only needed at once you reach the US Embassy handling the Visa. Should also be provided by them.

DS-230, Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration: Only needed by US Embassy handling the Visa. Should be provided by them also.

?/?/1992- I relocated to Ecuador when I was 12 yrs. old, and throughout my time there, met my now fiancée then first boyfriend. We dated on and off even after I returned to the US. Then we split as childhood relationships tend to.

10/3/2009- I went back to Ecua after 14 years and we reconnected, got back together one day after my arrival. I was now 31.

1/3/2010- I returned to be with my sweetheart, and ensure myself this was it, result-it was ok to let the heart lead.

9/23/2010- Ecua bound once more

10/27/2010- He proposed while I was in Ecuador =)

Pues la verdad no se nada de la Embajada de Ecuador. Solo te puedo recomendar leer la guia de aca que dice que enviarle a tu pareja, y, buscar en el website de tu embajada.

Buena suerte y felicidades. :thumbs:

English-only outside the Regional subforums, please, or at least provide a translation, too.

OP, download the forms from the consulate's website -- don't wait for them to arrive (late or not at all) by mail. Also, after you've made your several $12 calls to the harpies who answer the PIN appointment line (and who certainly get commissions for how many extra times they can make you call back), make damned sure that you, the petitioner, are there for the interview. Be in Guayaquil at least a full day beforehand, because the ####### consulate may pull monkeyshines on you with the appointment time at the last minute. While you're there, take plenty of fotos of yourselves together, get them printed out somewhere (perhaps at the big mall), and take them to hand in to the Foreign Service National who will collect your stuff at the consulate.

Keep in close touch, please, si man.
