Woohoo! We got our interview date. May 27. Now please let me get a flight to Vancouver using my Northwest frequent flyer miles before they merge with Delta and I lose them.

JKD, I don't know much about having a cosponsor since it isn't an issue for us, but I believe you and your father would each have to fill out the I134. DS157 is for men ages 16 to 45, something about military service, I'm really not sure. Are there directions for it? It does not sound like it would be applicable for you since your fiancee is female and does not have a son in that age range coming on a K2 visa. They ask for police certificates for every place she has lived for at least 6 months since turning 16, so yes, it would be required. Generally, being an emancipated minor means you are treated under the law as an adult. Whether that is the same in Brazil, and what hoops she would have to go through to prove to the police department she is emancipated, I don't really know.

Good luck on your interview!!! Woohoo!! :D

Hello there,

I just got married on 12th on the beach in Key West :dance:

Back to normal life from vacation is..... :crying:

Anyway, here's tips I'd like to share with you who is waiting for medical exam.

For K-1 holder's next step is AOS, you know, and for AOS you need vaccination completion certification. Some submit DS-3025 worksheet as certification, and it looks OK when you complete all the required vaccine, according to AOS topics I searched. But if you have not complete at the time of your entry to US, then you need to ask a civil doctor to fill out I-693 Appendix A.

I went to see a civil doc to get a shot of incomplete vaccine. This is the first time for me to go to clinic in foreign country, so I might be careless... The nurse gave me a correct vaccine and Tuberculin Skin Test and took my blood. I didn't ask what this blood was for. :unsure:

Today I understand why they needed my blood. They did HIV check again!! :blink: Also, Tubercurosis check too!

I believe that doc wants extra money :devil: or just don't know updated info about K-1 holders. It cost me $300!! :angry:

Make a long story short, I recommend you to get additional copy of your medical exam report if it is possible, and when you need I-693, you should mention you finished HIV & Tuberculosis test and bring report (maybe with the unuseful X-ray ;p) with you.

Maybe you are still not sure what I am talking about, but when you prepare for AOS, hope this hits your mind. :blush:

Good luck to every one! The goal is close!

Actually he is on his way right now he will be here at 11:55pm; so technically it will still be today :dance:

But LIAT is doing all kind of nonsense coming out of St. Vincent; they stopped in Antigua when they were supposed to go straight to San Juan. Now they are running an hour late. There is no way he could have made it out of the Caribbean without some crazy thing happening! Hopefully everything will move smoothly from now on.

awww, how exciting. Liat is based in Antigua, so you know they are never on time. You know he will probably be delayed in San Juan at immigration as well, and miss his connecting flight. But hey, after its all over, he's YOURS! and thats gonna be TONIGHT. Please remember to come update us on how the first two weeks are going. After that, I'll have my own updates. :thumbs:
