Yes I know that DS-2001 can be sent with all other forms. lol blink.png

The only thing that through me off is that on from DS-2001

in the bottom.

"Please send this for, along with Form DS-230 Part I to the address of the United States Embassy etc."

So I thought DS-230 should be sent with this instead of all other forms.

But now I know that I can send it with all other forms, and I don't have to really send it along with the cover sheet like stated on there. headbonk.gifdead.gif

Quick question... when I put none or n/a should I put it in quotations "N/A" or "NONE" so they won't confuse it...

DS-230 PART 1

Since my Fiance has only worked in one place all his life in london and his current student visa is not with work permit.

It ask for last 10 years I put unemployed with years to cover those 10 years and the name of employer and dates of the time he did work in London is this okay? Same way he answered in the G-325 but to cover the 5 years they asked there...

hahah I hear ya! Luckily I rely on Steves' mum to give everything a once over. Though in all fairness to him he stayed up till midnight last night and the night before designing our wedding invitations, putting them into envelopes, and then tying little bows around each of them goofy.gif Well this was his attempt at a bow

Luckily he's sending them to me before they go out to the guests lol

Nice bow... ;)

We want our big wedding once we are well settled and do the adjustment of status.

But we are trying to make our civil wedding a little bit more upscale than normal since it's the first I DO; we want to go all out with the religious ceremony. Hope to have one here and one in his home country with parents and fam. :)

I'm already looking for dresses and the venue is being looked at. It's a very nice roman column looking courthouse in the heart of the city... so I'm excited; something small but tasteful...

Congrats to you both! :) Have you been approved or have interview date yet?

Oh that sounds soo lovely, thats the type of courthouse i would have liked to go for aswell. We did seriously consider a court house or Justice of the peace wedding just for the quick "I Do" but both our parents werent happy with it soooo..even though its our wedding we have to keep the parents happy too. Are you going to have a bouquet? I think that is a really nice touch.

No and no to the last 2 questions lol luckily our venue is very flexible so any delays shouldnt cause too much drama! Praying for the best!

Yes I was telling my sis and mom that even though my first wedding will be through the courthouse... I still want an elegant dress & have a bouquet. In the courthouse we can rent out some rooms and the smallest one holds 50-75 people so that is just enough for close friends and immediate family.

I'm sure it will all work out.

God bless you both on this journey! :)
