BOLOKS

:lol:

Mine was a cri de coeur about not fitting in - no change for me either.

Mine was asking about my upcoming I-751 interview (Jan 2005), although I'd been posting/lurking a bit before that back when BE was on Usenet from about 2001 onwards:

Quote:

Yes, it really has happened. Feb 16th in Charleston SC. App has filed June 12th 2003 so an 18 month wait and an address change too in the meantime.

One oddity is they ask for a load of documents which have already been included with the app?? (Mine is a waiver-based divorce case) and clearly marked in big bold type "SPOUSE MUST BE PRESENT AT THE INTERVIEW WITH A VALID PHOTO ID". That could be difficult as I've been divorced for nearly 2 years!

What can it mean??? The I-751 app was clearly marked with an x on the part 2d "I entered into marriage in good faith, but the marriage was terminated through divorce/annulment" bit. I'm guessing this is a standard letter sent out for interview?

They also say they will videotape the interview.

Very similar post to me then ;)
I started on about something and within a short time was in a slanging match with the very same two people you mention and hours later almost exchanging death threats with Rushman :rofl:
Rushman I must now point out has since become one of the closest friends I ever had.:):)

strange how things change isnt it ..... I also have great respect for Ray :)

As for Patrick the pagan god .... I still think he's a wanker :rofl:

my first post, quite bland on the outside, but if you were a member of the hyphen site it may make you chuckle.

Reporting getting my AOS approved. Mine was worrisome: I had no support group to tell me about approvals of I-601s, so me and the boss were wondering about whether we'd need to move back to Europe.

Joon:lol::lol:

My first 2 posts I was defending Houston/Texas. No change there then:unsure:

My third post was slagging off Harley Davidson and announcing there was no way we would ever ever buy one............whoops:o:o:D

My first post was the typical, naiive, 'thought I was different to everyone' that we see pretty much every day :p

Reading it now is just a tad embarrassing!

Hello All,

I got all nostalgic today as I (finally) passed my 2000th post so I looked up my very first post which I posted on November 8th 2003 in a long closed thread entitled "Where are y'all from?"

Awesome isn't it? and posted complete with spelling mistake! Great.

Anyway, let's see everyones very first post on BE! :)

Here's mine - feels like a lifetime ago but not even a year ago yet.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum and so far have found the info/questions/answers on here to be very useful.

I would like to know whether it is advisable to seek legal advice and assistance with the K1 visa process or is it safe and relatively straightforward to do-it-yourself? I would be very interested for personal experiences and advice. I am a UK citizen living in London and my boyfriend is a US citizen living in NY. We meet the criteria for the K1 visa.

More than happy to give more detail of my situation if that helps with advice etc.

Many thanks.

I've had 2 usernames.

heres my very first post as Rushman

I've been lurking around here and decided to introduce myself. I'm 35 years old, born and raised in St. Louis MO but currently living about 100 miles north in the middle of nowhere. A boring day at work and an interest in the U.K./U.S. relationship led me to this very interesting site. My prior firsthand experience with things British is limited to a brief friendship with a exchange student from England and an equally brief but somewhat stormy love/hate relationship with a Triumph TR6.

Anyway, I don't want to ramble but I do want to wish all those away from home and family a very Merry Christmas and good luck in the new year!

Thanks for the warm welcome! I probably won't post much unless I feel there's something I can add. We Americans are kind of shy, quiet and unassuming types as I'm sure most of you have realized by now.

I can't seem to get back to mine? I know it was in the Marriage Visa Forum though since I never stuck a toe out of there for 2 years, :D

I've come up with this one as your first, posted on Sept 9, 2002

Here are a few answers for you:IMPORTANT NOTICE TO IMMIGRANT VISA APPLICANTS CONCERNING VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS
Recent changes to United States immigration law now require immigrant visa applicants to obtain certain vaccinations (listed below) prior to the issuance of an immigrant visa. Panel physicians who conduct medical examinations of immigrant visa applicants are now required to verify that immigrant visa applicants have met the new vaccination requirement, or that it is medically inappropriate for the visa applicant to receive one or more of the listed vaccinations:

-- mumps
-- measles
-- rubella
-- polio
-- tetanus and diphtheria toxoids
-- pertussis
-- influenzae type b (Hib)
-- hepatitis B
-- varicella
-- pneumococcal and
-- influenza.

In order to assist the panel physican, and to avoid delays in the processing of an immigrant visa, all immigrant visa applicants should have their vaccination records available for the panel physician's review at the time of the immigrant medical examination. Visa applicants should consult with their regular health care provider to obtain a copy of their immunization record, if one is available. If you do not have a vaccination record, the panel physician will work with you to determine which vaccinations you may need to meet the requirement. Certain waivers of the vaccination requirement are available upon the recommendation of the panel physican.

Only a physician can determine which of the listed vaccinations are medically appropriate for you, given your age, medical history and current medical condition.
Now there is an email address for the Embassy which may [email protected]
Lastly, as for coming to the US, they COULD deny you entrance since apparently once paperwork is underway to bring you here it can set off some little red flag at Customs. I had read on a message board about a guy from UK being denied entrance to the US and being put on the next plane back........It is up to the Customs officials whether or not they enforce it. To me it's not worth the risk, so I have been traveling over to see my UK spouse until he gets approval.
Good luck
