Hey Everyone,

First of all, I want to thank everyone here. I posted awhile ago unsure if we should use a lawyer or do it ourselves and it was this site and all of you helpful people that made us feel more comfortable about doing it without paying the extra money for a lawyer. It's a lot less ominous now. :)

We are getting the papers ready to file for the K1 and had a couple questions.

1. On the I-129f form, it asks what US Embassy will be handling this. I'm from Oshawa, ON and assume this means I should enter Montreal Canada, correct? I've seen a couple people here in random posts I've browsed list things like Ottawa, but I think it is only Montreal and Vancouver that handle K1, so wanted to be sure.

2. Question 12 asks for info if I am currently visiting the US when this is submitted. Since I am Canadian and do not have to get any kind of visa to visit, I am not sure what to fill out in these boxes. Should we just wait until I leave before we mail it, to avoid worrying about this? (I leave at the end of the month, so it's not too far away.)

3. On form G-325A, My fiance has had more jobs and living addresses in the last 5 years than there is room for him to list. Should we list these on separate pages, one for each question, or should they be combined? Also, should this be combined with the extra info we may include for question 18 that wants the description of how we met?

4. How do we list this on the cover page?

5. For my G-325A form, I am not sure what to put for employment. I started a job during the summer, but before that was a freelance web designer for several years. The problem is, I had no registered business and only earned money in small amounts, very rarely. I was kind of self-educating while taking care of my mother. I was going to put self-employed web designer but am worried because my taxes will not show much income, if any, during those years and don't know how far they really look into things like this. Should I just list unemployed? I'd prefer at least student, but only have records of one correspondence course during that time. The rest as independent. Any advice?

6. Both of us will likely be living in different locations (possibly a different state for my fiance), and have different jobs by the time this is complete. This just requires sending them updated information, correct?

That's all I can think of for now. :) I'll be glad when this part is done and it's just waiting for the NOA2 without worry that we messed something up.
