US Immigration from Hong Kong

We're about to send off our application and I'm worrying and stressing about the whole process already!

When I think logically and technically, we have all the proof needed to show we are in a genuine relationship - visited each other 6x, engaged on the 6th visit, time spent together is 50% of our relationship, I've met his parents but he hasn't met mine yet, our friends know about one another. Maybe one downfall is that we have only been together for 6months.

I keep worrying that we haven't got enough "proof" or there are holes somewhere that we cannot spot which may lead to a denial. I've also heard they will look at our social media accounts however I do not share much on there due to the person I am.

One day I am very positive we will be approved, the next moment I would be stressed out of my mind incase we have really missed out something and seem "fake."

Can anyone help to how to ease my worries or offer any words of wisdom in dealing with this (when we haven't even gotten to the interview which'll be even more stressful!)

I realise that the waiting time for family-sponsored immigration applicants (F4 - siblings) is 12 years. The visa bulletin indicates the current priority date (except Mexico, India, Philipplines, and China) for F4 is Feb 2007. I wonder if this date applies to all countries including low demand countries like Japan, Finland.

Hi, I've been filing my AOS and received a REF for requesting to submit my Notarial Certificate of Birth issued by the appropriate civil authority. At the beginning stage, i believed i submitted the photocopy of my official Birth Certificate (with English Translation on the original Certificate) for a HKSAR citizenship. Did anyone encounter this issue like my case before?

Hey all,

I paid my DS-260 and I see that there are some optional documents. Are optional documents really "optional"? or are they mandatory? This is for Hong Kong,

so I'm not actually sure if I need the Certificate of Registered Particulars. The list of documents for Hong Kong can be found on this page: https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Visa-Reciprocity-and-Civil-Documents-by-Country/HongKong.html

please let me know! thank you.
