Personal note: We might have had a record number of approvals in the Part 18 thread. I hope that this continues as an unstoppable force.

Hello!

So my fiance and I have known each other for 9 years. I went to Ecuador on a service trip in 2011, 2012 and 2013 respectively. I have not seen him person since. We have always had a relationship in the background and back in November we decided to recommit to each other. We have since gotten engaged (again lol) and I will be going back there in September for a week. The original plan was to go down in September and then again in November for 20 days and then when I get back in November get all the paperwork in to USCIS.

My question is, what do you all think about us applying when I get back in September and totally bypassing the November trip? We still have Corona Virus going on and Ecuador is one of the countries hit the worst. Also, with the upcoming expenses of the Visa, plane tickets and green card I am not sure if spending an extra 20 days in Ecuador in November is financially feasible and because of the virus .

I know our chances of getting approved will be better if I make both trips but do you all think chances of denial are super high if we just go for it in September?

Thank you very much for any and all advice,

Ashley and Manuel

Has anyone used Fred, the visa coach before? We are considering hiring him.

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any information about how to obtain a police record from Italy? We have no one living there right there that can help us and I am not certain where this type of document would be obtained.

Hello everyone!

I am starting my Naturalization application and I know we need to attached our tax return for the past 3 years. Can I attached copies of H&R Block or do the need to be official transcripts from the IRS obtained at the IRS?

Thanks!
