My fiancé was a photographer... we even have pictures from our very first date...later we laughed a lot cause we were definitely not planning for this 😂😂😂 

 

and im emotional crazy with keeping everything as a memory which turned out to be a good thing that I keep boarding passes(his passes on the other hand was getting lost even after he learnt we need them...men 🤷‍♀️

I keep boarding psses too and it was good as well haha he doesn't keep anything and was shper against sending them a lot of stuff lol he even wrote our story in those 3 lines on the form cause he said it doesn't ask for an attachment on instructions 🙄 Lol

@Trinab80 wow yeah 50-60 may actually cause it to make an adujidicator believe it's a big hard case and take time, no?

If that is the case, I will never get approved. 100+ photos. My file when it went out was like 3 church Bibles put together 

At that time i had been to see him like 6-7 times and most times I stay like 5 days to 2 weeks long plus we went to the baba for his birthday which is when he proposed to me on the beach (I know so romantic...lol). So, I figured I would give them enough variety. Plus, 20 pages of chat logs from what's app, itineraries, pics of All my passport stamps, boarding passes, etc. 

 

So yeah, I should have been approved like 8 times already by now.

That's what I was going to say seriously

 

mine is same 7 trips and some are months long so we put 2 for each trip and one for engagement.

 

i don't think there's a limit or anything. It's just it may look like a big file and make it go slower than those easy things they seem to like  

we are here waiting with you ❤️

Not really. 10 pics for each trip. We had actually been together for over a year by the time we filed. 

 

Plus I know the battle we have with him being denied entry at POE last thanksgiving so I'm just making sure I covered all my bases. Besides, by the time it gets to the Embassy they shouldn't really have a lot of questions to ask us.

 

What can I say....I like to be thorough. 😂😂😂😂😂

Yes!

 

by the way about affidavit of support, my embassy says it can be used for a year so I'm just going to get it when I'm there in January. Hope it won't be a problem cause I don't want to pay to just send those forms later..

Great, thanks @Naes! I am going to be there in a couple of weeks, so that would be a good time to complete those papers and bring with!

So I-134 and DS-160 (can be completed online) anything else I am forgetting??? From what I understand the embassy will be reaching out when they have the papers with a list of items like medical and police records... I am mostly concerned about papers I need to sign and give to my fiancee

I don't think it's like never approved or anything but we know from past interview thing that they do chose to go for easier cases first, because that means more points yay for them.

 

my whole thing was like 97 pages or so with 40 pages on hotel and itineraries boarding passes stamps, a 10+ pages for petitioners passport and maybe a 15 pictures 2 in each page.

Keep in mind, USCIS doesn't really review the pics with such scrutiny, they just have to make sure that the requirements are met in order to approve and send off to the Embassy. Actually proving the relationship is real and ongoing happens more so at the Embassy.  Plus, all our docs and supporting evidence gets scanned and stored in whatever Case Management System they use to review cases.

Well, double edged sword. As the ex-adjudicator said, they like big families, so wouldn't a big fat file on his desk look like bonus points, rather than a "hard case"? I doubt adjudicator would open it, see there is no kids, and said "oh noooo" and put it away.

Hello ladies and gents,

 

My case finally arrived at the NVC. We have filled out the DS-160 and submitted it. Not sure what we are suppose to do next with the case number and invoice number. I was told that we wait until the US Embassy in Senegal,Dakar contacts my fiance. I was also told that I can set the interview up anf pay the visa fee. I cannot find where I can schedule the interview and pay the fee. Can someone help me or guide me in the right direct please?

The total cost of Rapid Visa on payment plan is over $1000.00 dollars if you payed 600.00 then 400+ would be due. Look on your account and look at total cost which is listed there.

Thank You for responding I've Paid already Over 500$ Balance was 600 Now they say A late fee of $450

I can't believe you! 42 only??? I am disappointed ..... . I have friends that put that many on facebook daily . One girl puts different makeup on if she doesn't get enough likes, and if the new makeup doesn't work, than she goes hard with cleavage . Kind'a like she is sitting on subway in the middle between two people so she has to put her arms closer together .

Clearly, they have too much time on their hands.

I didn't go through it yet  it is from shoegums signature if anyone needs the info. But it is also said before that this info comes from a filer from before so some conditions are changed. But the numbers etc. are the same.

 

I'll check it further when I'm home
