Re: Getting drivers license in Florida?

I normally reverse into a parking space (still in the UK), do I need to drive in forward for the test?

Re: Next Step - CR1 Application

Just filling in the DS-260 form online, and I'm a bit confused by:

Is your spouse immigrating to the U.S. with you?

Re: Next Step - CR1 Application

My wife has now been invited to pay my IV fee of $325.

I'd pay it, but the only option is through a US bank account ;)

Re: CR-1 Visa Timeline/Journey!

Actually, reading the letter, it seems my US wife needs to start the online process, especially since she has the US bank account to pay the fee(s).
