I know some people were interested in Disney / Universal weddings so I found this out today.

 

originally we were set to get married on my mother's property because she's on the water but then I was like you know, I just don't know if that's what we truly want. So we found a wedding officiant in orlando, Florida for 275$ (marriage license included ..) who will do our vows outside of Hogwarts at Wizarding World of Harry Potter !!! I called Universal and they said that it's absolutely fine to do our vows as long as we aren't blocking traffic or causing a scene. This is much more "us".  we are super happy and praying even more now he passes his interview so I can move forward with the booking!

That's going to be adorable!  And magical

The I-134 with a wet signature. Last years taxes (2017) and you can include 2015,2016 if you want. Updated letter of intent. One signed from you. One signed from him. And proof. Pictures, chats, call logs, screen shots...pretty much the same things everyone else is taking but some embassies don't even look at everything brought. Go to the portals button up top and go to your embassies website. It'll tell you.

 

for my fiancé he needed court records, police records, birth cert and letter that he's legally single, since they're all in French or Arabic, he has to translate anything non English to English. Plus don't forget the appointment letter. Make a check list and pretend you're Santa clause , check it twice.

Yeah, unfortunately there is very little info here on Hungary  and every embassy is different! 🤯 so you never know what to expect...

Atti just sent me the list of items needed but it is in Hungarian, he had had this list since he received packet three and forgot to tell me 🤯 

I like to check things over and over, plus I’m very good with paperwork and documents so I am not happy about not knowing what the heck

is needed. According to Atti, he was completely ready and with my nagging he just realized he needed to bring his divorce docs. He said they were asking for his marriage certificate 🤦🏼‍♀️ I was like, I don’t think they care much for that 🤔

i think they care more for your divorce 😤😤 ughh... I’m gonna chill and have some wine and deal with this tomorrow.

I think all of this really depends on the embassy. The embassy in Bucharest, Romania was fine with scanned wet signature for affidavit and new intent to marry (he signed the page and scanned it and i printed it out before the interview), but they wanted original/certified divorce decree. (He got it from the courthouse, it had an extra page attached to it declaring it is a 100% copy of the original one, or something similar. Can look up the wording if needed.)

 

At the embassy stage i was lucky there were people on this forum who had interviews in Bucharest and they were super helpful. Also with  all the info I got from them I just called the embassy and asked them (phone and email) again if it is ok or not and printed out the e-mail conversation just in case they change their minds :)))

 

I know it is hard. Try to compile a list of what you want to take and send them an e-mail and ask if it is ok to be a scanned copy, or if u need to translate anything from hungarian to english etc etc. (PM me and i will send the checklist i had for the interview)

 

 

Will do!!!

I have a question for those who have completed the process, has anyone actually scheduled the medical and interview after getting their case number before it actually got the beneficiary's embassy? If so, what was the outcome? Where there issues?

We received our case number today!!  The status still shows At NVC, but based on others, we hope it will change to a ready status quickly.

Is this from your embassy website? I know W2's aren't required per my fiancé's instructions. Unless you're self employed I think? Just wanted to make sure iiiiiii am not missing anything lol

No....this is my checklist I created for myself. I'm including my W2s because I like to front-load and provide as much as possible. I front-loaded our petition when I sent it to USCIS almost a year ago and I'm going to the interview with everything. Rather have it and don't need it than to need it and not have it.
