January I-129F filers

[sabi 148]

so i went to hand in the proper birth certificate today and everything went well. they took my passport and i paid the DHL for delivery. I should not that @ my interview on friday, the CO didnt look @ 1 piece of evidence i bought, not even a single photo.

Well done! Another person ready to go!

[LorRenee 6]

Yay, finally! Congrats

congrats ricky! so happy for you! and sabi, you'll be out here before you know it!

andrew and i got married on saturday in a beautiful park ceremony, and i'm just waiting for the certified marriage certificate before sending off AOS. the license issuing office said things are quiet right now so i should get it within 10 days. we're moving house next week so once we're in the new place i'll get a bank account and SSN - notifying everyone seems like a major pain, i can hang on another 10 days after all this time! i also haven't decided for sure whether to change my name, so i need a little extra time! otherwise things are all going great, although it was just us and two witnesses (friends) the ceremony was incredibly romantic and we woke up in the finest hotel in new orleans. i'm a happy girl! i hope you're all doing great too.

honestly, logging onto this site kinda gives me a heart attack and puts me back in that anxious place i was for 8 months of K1 process, but every now and again i get brave and wanna see how the jan gang is doing!

best wishes to all, especially those still waiting to be with their loved ones for good.

First, I would like to say congrats to Kitty. It sounds like you had a beautiful wedding and I am happy for you!

I do have a question for everybody and at 3am my time, my fiance encountered another problem that I need to make sure won't screw us up later. For very stupid reasons, he cannot get additional certified copies of his birth certificate. He has his BC that is like one of those little booklets and it even has his vaccine record on it from his childhood. In my packet 3 it says to bring original and photocopy of BC. When I emailed the Embassy, they told me they will return all originals and just keep the photocopies. That's great and also the AOS guide says to send in a photocopy of the BC. I know it is risky to only have the one BC, but I can't think of a situation where anybody would keep your BC and not give it back to you here in the States. Can anybody else? I just need some help thinking this through a little. Any thoughts?

Also, anybody see a problem with the type of BC he has? I hope its okay because if not, we are up a creek without a paddle. I don't have a good feeling about all this birth certificate stuff.

if your consulate said its ok then it is. the birth certificate set me back for 2 days. They dont accept copies at ours and the CO told me its no guarantee i will be getting it back @ POE. so i had to apply for an additional two copies to take with me to the US. try your best to see if you can get your hands on an additional copy or two

If that is the official birth cert then go with this , if not, you would need a long birth cert with both parents' names and mother's maiden name, at least that is what they expect in here... Unfortunately I can't help you much as I don't know how does it look in other countries but they are pretty strict about those things, hopefully it will be sufficient but if I was you, I would contact the embassy to double check that...

yeah it's been quiet, people are probably trying to rest mentally, like me, after all those months I am pretty happy knowing that I don't have to go crazy after reading some crazy stories on VJ but then again, there's Texas who is still waiting and I am really gutted for her

Hope the time will fly for you and the interview day come in no time now

I've been thinking the same thing...but I was thinking that it would pick up again soon with more reunions/weddings/AOS, etc. 3 weeks from yesterday and we will all be partying in Teguc!!! Can't believe how fast the weeks are flying by!

12 Days to POE and 21 days to our wedding!!

Not sure how your consulate works, but for us they did not keep any originals and Lidia took home same day. They only kept passport. Hopefully if they see original and copy they only keep the copy and let him take back the original. Don't forget to also get it translated before you come to states.
