Candy&Mark

Its been awhile but thought I'd give an update and some info. Mark and I moved our wedding to August 21st (instead of June 12th). His packet #3 has been received as of May 20th...it will be 6-8 weeks until the interview..ugh. We had heard through a previous filer that he was not allowed to travel outside the UK until this process was finished, just want to pass along that that is not the case. You can travel to the U.S. during this process, you just need to carry proof that you are returning to the U.K. (ie not trying to pull a fast one on them). It has been since January since we have seen each other, but luckily he will spend 3 weeks here in the U.S. before having to go back to the UK for his interview. He has already passed his medical (YAAA!) and we are getting so much closer. Good luck to all...I love seeing emails of new posts and hearing good news from others. Thanks to everyone in this forum who have stayed positive and kept our shipmates spirits up! Good luck, may we all be with our loved ones soon!

Thanks Captain!

This is jumping ahead but what happens after we get approved at the interview (thinking positively here). I know we have six months for my fiancee to come into the country, then 90 days to get married, but... how long does he need to be here before we are married? How long once we are married will it be before he can work? What papers do we need to file for this all to happen. I have been looking and looking for this info and just haven't hit the right area I guess. I'm definitely gonna need more rum!

Thanks,

Candy

Add another approval for us! Wish I was home for some celebratory rum!

On Igor's list it shows E & G sent 12/14/09, received their NOA2 on 01/20/10 and Ashton and Neil sent 12/12/09, received their NOA2 on 01/19/10. I think I'm reading that right, at least I sure hope I am because it was a bright spot on my day!

Hope you don't mind if I add a question, we seem in a similar situation.

I am a mom of 3 as well with an English fiance. I also am about to graduate medical school (in May). I will be matched to a residency program in February (start date of July 1), and this is a binding contract, but will not receive pay until my residency begins. Does anyone know if I can use this future income for my Affidavit for Support. Being in medical school for the past 4 years, I have not had income but obviously will have substantial future income, just wondering if this will count or if I need a cosponsor. Thanks and good luck to us all.

Just wanted to say "Hi". I'm a December 2009 filer as well. Try not to visit this site too often, but was thrilled to see two December filers get NOA2s already. Good luck to all.
