We didn't put the A number on the I-134 or the DS-160 because we didn't recognize that one had been assigned until I received a hard copy of our NOA2 in the mail with Packet 4.  That copy has the notations and the stamp from the adjudicator and it's clear on that copy that the "A" number is Alien number.

 

Not that it matters, but I just wanted to clarify that the hard copy I received in the mail was of our original I-129F petition, not the NOA2.

 

Confusion aside, it's kind of interesting to look at this copy because it's the first time I've seen the fully-filled out petition that my fiance sent in. When we were together at his place (wow, almost a year ago now!!!) I filled in the biometric form with my parent's and children's birth dates and other info and left that with him when I went home. Then, he used that form to help him complete the I-129F.  Now, I see that he left off some information about my employment status and there was also a typo but obviously that didn't matter since we were approved with no issues.

 

Plus it's kind of interesting to see where the adjudicator made his or her tick marks, presumably indicating critical information that they look for:  The dates of our divorces; any prior K1 filings; have we ever met in person; the area concerning criminal records and the signature and date.

 

And then there's the official APPROVED stamp and stickers with bar codes showing the A-number and the WAC number with the NOA1 date.

 

I dunno, it's no big deal but I guess it's just kind of cool to see evidence of what went on behind the scenes, after so many months of anxious waiting in what felt like a dark, silent vacuum.

 

Also, just to be a total pedant, this I-129F copy came with my hard copy of Packet 3, not my Packet 4.      Packet 4 is just instructions how to book the appointment and so on.

 

Anyhow wow, you guys! This process with all its forms and packets and appointments and interviews and paperwork, all bundled up with the terror of making mistakes...what a complex thing it is we're doing here, huh?  Immigration is not for the faint-hearted, that's for sure.

 

But then again, neither is marriage and look at us, here we're all trying to do both!  Heh.

 

I think my brain is officially mush by now.  And there's still SO much more to do once I get there. Marriage licence, SSN number, driver's licence, bank account....get married, change name, apply for, um...what else now? AoS and all that.  Yikes!

 

 I hope I can remember my name after all this.

Hey guys, 

 

question to who did the I-134 already,

 

Did you put the A-number?

 

Because my co-sponsor will be sending me the papers on March, but I don't know if I 'll have my noa2 till then (most likely won't) we can't fill it yet. Do you think would this be a problem? or do you think we can just handwrite it when we get the number?

 

How did you guys do it?

Yes, I included the A number. Shouldn’t you just get NOA2 first?

 

Again, I was told not to do i134 early but could be Cambodia thing.

Today's a particularly rough day. I'm thinking I'm going to have to take a break from the boards because while I'm thrilled that people are getting their interviews, this thread has become a major downer for me in terms of being jealous and pissed off that my experience is nothing like so many peoples. I don't know how some of the other long waiters who are more active do it.

Hugs to you luv. You're in my prayers. Just hold on, you're long wait will be at any end soon. I wish this forum could give you more strength to get through. But if it becomes more of a burden you should definately take a break. Keep hope. Your almost there.

Oh lady, I don't blame you. I have been waiting 2 months less than you so have no right to but already feel a little this way.  I can only really send love and hugs  as anything else will come across a sounding a little condescending.

Maricel had her embassy interview in Manila this morning (Philippines time), and was approved!!!!

[Birveonrty 110]

Finally! We are APPROVED!

[Little_Vixen 1,869]

Have we heard anything from @John & Rose yet? Did the RFE come in? I feel like I'm almost as excited as they are to finally see movement.

Good luck!!!

So as yesterday I was not sure if I can book the medical exam. I am sure today. So I went ahead, book the interview date and medical exam 

- Interview appointment : 20th March 

- Medical exam : 6th March 

I called to the medical place and they said I don't need the packet 3 letter for the medical exam, I only need the appointment confirmation. So I booked both ahead before I got my packet 3. That packet has plenty of time from now til the 20th March to reach me. Approximately POE would be in May, around 20th or later.

Finger crossed

I totally get how you feel. Looking at others, I have questioned my journey many times and has multiple breakdowns. I hope your case got approved soon. Hang in there. Share with us your feeling if you want. We are all in this together.
