Bollocks, that would have been fun. Was in all day too, making my wedding invites.

Good luck with everything.

We are just going to have a civil ceremony back in the states. Someone tried to teach me Scottish country dancing. It was caught on video tape. I must find the tape and burn it!!
Congratulations!

Your Scotsman must come from a similar area as mine - Keith's from sorta that area I think.

We did a bit of country dancing in my kitchen at our wedding - Gay Gordons is the easy one, there are some videos of how on the net

After two more painful hours he was finally called to window 13 and met a sour English gentleman who asked for his police report and birth certificate and the duplicate copies. He looked through them and then he had to sign the forms that were sent in the I156 etc. that were the unsigned forms. He then asked for the I134 affidavit of support looked it over and then asked if he had any evidence of support. He handed over my big stack of papers. My fiancee asked if he needed my mom's joint sponsor affidavit and he said no. Then he asked how he would pay for the visa and then he was sent to the next window to pay the $131 for the visa. He paid and got a receipt and he went back to the same window and gave the man the receipt. Then he was told to go sit down for the next interview. He waited another hour and then was interviewed by a very nice American man . He had to swear that all the info in the documents were true . Then he had to sign another sheet and print my name. He was then asked how we met, how long he had been at his job, where we would live and whythe US and not the UK. He then said your visa is approved and he handed him his xrays and said make sure to keep them with his hand luggage.He asked if he was flying back to Scotland and he said no. We took a 6 hour train Journey back from London. The whole thing took 3 and a half hours. He also had to fill out papaer for the courier. They deliver the visa the next day. I spent the time pacing up and down Oxford Street! We stayed at Comfort INN Notting Hill. Perfect location. Bring a book for the long wait! We had our engagement party on Saturday. It was nice to have something to celebrate! Thanks to everyone for their advice and help! I will definately ask for help with our AOS. Also anyone who has questions please ask me!
Congratulation!!
I hope my interview will go smoothly like yours.
Have you a happy life in America.

Any new recent K1 updates? I'm feeling all alone in K1 world here.

OK. I do have a few small questions too - Form DS-156

Q.18 Spouse's full name even if divorced or separated
-I'm unsure as to what to put here.


Q.22 When do intend to arrive in the USA?
-And here.


Q.26 How long do you intend to stayin the US?
-I know the answer, but it's the electronic form. Does it allow for you to type the answer or does it ask for a date?


Any input much appreciated.

We put "ASAP"

-I know the answer, but it's the electronic form. Does it allow for you to type the answer or does it ask for a date?
We put "Permanently"

Thank you Rene.

I'm divorced, that's why I wondered about Q18.

Do I need the original NOA2 for my interview? Or would a copy be OK?

You are supposed to bring originals of everything to the interview. We were never asked to show the NOA2 at ours (in Turkey).

My fiancee brought the originals and a photocopys to his K1 in London. The didn't ask for the NOA but they did ask for his birth certificate and police report and kept copies of both.
