Wonder if anyone might know here - if you have to write a second letter of intent to marry since due to a petition expiring, do you have to word it any differently? Or can it literally be the same format but with a different date/addressed to the embassy?

Same is fine as long as you get the points in--free to marry and Intend to marry within 90 days....

They just want to make sure the USC is still in the game.

Does it need to be notarized?

[Nich-Nick 3,354]

Does it need to be notarized?

No. A few years ago, it said in the instruction letter (packet 3) to notarized it. They dropped the notarized part. The person asking has been six months since NOA2. You won't be that long and won't need one.

This time in 3 weeks I will hopefully be celebrating! Eeep. I feel like the time is going to drag by very slowly...

My Mum is starting to make passive aggressive remarks about me leaving...it's kind of sweet in a way, but at the same time it has been a dream of mine to live in America since before I met my fiance. I really don't want to feel guilty about leaving! Anyone else experienced this?

Shana, that's so funny. Daniel's mom is already making passive aggressive remarks. She's like "nobody is gonna be here for Christmas next year. We might as well not even celebrate it"

Guilt trip city over there, I tell ya.

Haha, oh man that is pretty dramatic! I think it will hit my Mum hard at Christmas, she's a huge Christmas fan and it'll be the first time one of us isn't there. It will be hard for me too though. I'm not exactly HAPPY that I won't be near friends and family.

My dream job is working in the film industry, hence my desire to live in America, but my Mum keeps suggesting places in the UK. "Why don't you both move to Manchester and work at Media City?" It's a place that mainly films soap operas... We then watch the making of Game of Thrones and she sees that they have a studio in Ireland "Why don't you move to Ireland? It's closer." Yes, Mum, because I'm going to base my entire life around the slim possibility of getting a job on ONE production that I'm sure the WORLD attempts to work on. I love her but dayum...please accept that I'm not leaving against my will!

So, our case status is now listed as 'ready,' however, I have a question-what does the 01 LND mean at the end of our number?

It's on mine too, so don't worry! I don't think it's something you need to pay attention to.

My mum is pretty supportive. My dad however? Furious. You'd think I was moving to the US as a personal insult aimed specifically at him. Bonkers

In other news, I graduated today!

Oh wow, he's furious?! That's quite a severe reaction!

Ooh, congratulations!! What was your degree in?

Unfortunately everything my father does, he does in extremes he'll calm down.

luckily both my parents are supportive and always say do what makes me happy, I have already promised my mum I will pay for her to come visit us in America when we can afford it and she has always wanted to go there. Also there is already plans for when we will come visit England as well. All my family are supportive, I am unsure about my Nan, Aunt and Uncle though as the whole time at Christmas they never once asked about my fiance and America, I felt about uncomfortable, as they asked how my sister is doing in life but not about mine. It could just be they are unsure what to say about it, it's an odd situation.
