  • Our Story
    Neil Milliner and I met on a musicians’ website called ReverbNation in January 2015, and from there we connected on Facebook. Our friendship began as we commented on each other’s statuses and grew quite solid as we continued over several months. Neil’s wit was fun, and he was very easy to share ideas with. I found myself posting things I knew would interest him, so he would comment. He always did! We flirted, very nervously at first, each not sure that the other was feeling the same attraction. Having a planet between us has been frustrating and sometimes, painful, but could not keep us apart. We began text messaging and video chatting on FaceBook. We discovered that we both write poetry and decided to collaborate on a book, “The Poetry and Prose of Jodi DiLiberto and Neil Milliner. We’ve also written a song together, and it’s been played on several radio stations! Neil and I began to realize we have so much in common in our passion for music and poetry, our love of nature, and our beliefs in natural living. It was undeniable that we had fallen in love and it became unthinkable that we should live the rest of our lives apart. We decided that we wanted to marry and began making plans to bring that about. We knew we had to meet in person, and we began researching the K1 Visa process and organizing our finances to make this happen. Our relationship has been multi-faceted. While physical contact has been absent; emotional, artistic, and intellectual contact has not. We go on dates via Google Earth, where we choose a place to meet virtually and explore it together. We have tea together every day and have gone on breakfast/dinner dates while we chat. In September 2016, Neil had saved enough money to visit me! The anticipation was so exciting and the next couple of weeks seemed to take forever, but on October 11 he was here, in New Jersey! He stayed with me, at my house, and being together, in person, was better that our most wonderful dreams! We went for walks, took a day trip, visited some local places, looked for a lovely setting for our wedding, and were just able to be together. Neil even did some much-needed repairs around the house! Neil formally proposed, presented me with a lovely ring, and I joyfully accepted! We are planning to have our wedding in Wall Township, NJ. After ten idyllic days, when it was time for Neil to leave, we felt like we were being torn apart. Once again, the Earth was too big and lay between us. Neil is back in Australia now, and we are again continuing our relationship via Facebook chat as we fill out the paper work and gather evidence of our relationship for the K1 Visa.

    My husband and I have a joint account, and I kept the personal account I've had for decades. We only included statements from the joint account, because my seoarate account seemed irrelevant. At his I-751/N-400 combo interview, the IO asked to see a statement from my account, because she saw, in our joint statements, some transfers I had made from one account to the other. We were not prepared for this. Fortunately for us, she was generous and gave me 15 minutes to get a statement to her, and my husband would be able to take the oath that afternoon. It was a stressful 15 minutes, but I was able to download and email the statement to her, and he did take the oath that day. My advice is to include everything you can, with a letter of explanation of how you run your finances - especially since it's already been an issue.

    Financial institutions have a later deadline than everyone else. My 1099Bs aren't usually available until the middle of February and they often come with a notification that it's just a preliminary 1099, and will probably need corrections. The corrected one sometimes comes in March. My husband's interview was in April, too. I sent him copies of the tax return to take to the interview.

    We sent everything we had from the start of our marriage as per the I-751 instructions. - That means we sent evidence we had already submitted with my husband's AOS. They asked for it - we sent it. It never hurts.

    It's been a while, but AOS was much more than just filling out one page. This was 2019, and it was normal to have an interview.

    We used RapidVisa, and only because we hadn't found VisaJourney until a bit later. They were okay, and they were efficient, but they did make a mistake that could have been a problem during our AOS interview. RapidVisa advised my husband to say that he doesn't have children, because they are all adults and not accompanying him. This was wrong, and the IO was kind enough to let us correct it at the interview. I would choose DIY, with advice from this forum. Many of the people here really know how it all works and you'll get great advice!

    My husband and I had a combo interview, too. Take along everything you can think of because you never know what they'll ask for. I have a checking account of my own, that I've had for decades, and didn't think it was relevant to our marriage so we didn't include statements from it. The IO saw transfers between the accounts, and asked me to send her a recent statement from mine. She gave me 15 minutes to send it to her. I had to use the bank app to download it and email it to her. Within minutes, she confirmed that my husband's oath ceremony would be that afternoon. So, if you're on the fence about something you may or may not need, take it with you.

    My husband was still married when we met, although he had not seen his wife in decades. They just never bothered to divorce. He got the divorce and we sent in the I-129F. It wasn't a problem at all. No one ever even mentioned it.

    "Refused" doesn't mean denied. They're just waiting for the medical.
  30. Joyoussinger
    I attended my husband's oath ceremony and noticed there were quite a few families, some with children, there.
  31. Joyoussinger
    None of those questions came up at my husband's interview, either. He studied all 100 questions and I drilled him on them. He was able to go to the interview with confidence and he passed.
  32. Joyoussinger
    Incorrect. We put deceased and had no problem at all.
  33. Joyoussinger
    Congratulations!
  34. Joyoussinger
    My husband's I-751 was still pending at the time of his N-400 interview. We mentioned this to the security guards, to be sure they would let me in, too. He also told the IO and she looked it up. It was approved that day because of this. He was actually able to take the oath that day, too. You should all go to the interview, because not going could be a missed opportunity. Best of luck!
  35. Joyoussinger
    I would think so. You have lots of other good evidence. I didn't have older bills, either, because I just didn't think to put my husband's name on them at first. Even then, not every company has a way to do that. I think you're fine.
  36. Joyoussinger
    It's important to send all pages of each bank statement. We sent one statement for each quarter, with all pages included, and had no problem.
