I last saw my fiance in January and I’ve decided I can’t wait anymore so I bought a flight to go to the dominican republic next month for 5 days only paid $355 for the flight so at least I have something to look forward too, might as well gather more evidence while i wait! 

I'm like the opposite - knowing that I will be with him everyday in the future, I'm spending my time alone and actually enjoying it lol. I might make several solo trips abroad sometime soon...

Are you from Poland? Poland has always been on my bucket list. I actually purchased a ticket to Krakow 10 years ago, but had to cancel my flight cuz I got super sick right before my trip :/

When my fiancee does her visa application online, can she chose to what embassy she would like her case to be sent? or is it decided by immigration?

 

Thanks

IN REGARDS TO WHICH DATE TO USE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

noa1 date is actually they date on ur hard copy. Sadly if u reach the magical 220 day u must wait till 225 to contact Uscis. They use what the new site says. Even if ur paper says X date. 

They added 5 days onto everyone’s accepted on NOA1

That is in your 129 application If you have a different location you have to contact the USCIS prior to the case going to the national Visa Center because at that point they will be sending it to the embassy of choice and then the ds160 she files online for her visa will be going to the same embassy but if the country has multiple locations then I would ask USCIS maybe they can help clear that up

After reading through some of the comments I am a little worried now about our application.  I made a sample wedding invitation card and had Aug. 11th 2018 as our wedding date.  Naturally that is not going to happen since it is taking so long to even get the NOA2, but I am now worried we will be denied for giving a date?  It was just a sample we knew it probably wouldn't happen on that date.  I hope we are ok.

I think you'll be fine. Maybe they'll ask an extra question at the interview but I doubt its a big problem.

Thanks, we don't actually have a wedding date yet since we don't know when we will be approved.  But we are getting married at my church so anytime should be ok once we are approved.
