Randy & Laura

Peter, just curious as to whether you and Kimberly are using an attorney or not. If not,
just try to make sure that you provide all the information that is requested by INS, as
they can request additional information if they feel they need it. (This could cause up to
a two month delay - I speak from experience). Actually, we used an attorney, but still ran
into a minor snag. Anyway, let me know if you would like to see an abbreviated checklist
that was included in packet # "3". I'd be happy to type that out for you or anyone that
would like to see it. Something you may be asked for in the visa interview is a letter
from your fiancee stating that she is still willing and able to marry you (our attorney
did not know about that), but thanks to the people in this newsgroup, Laura and I were
prepared. Oh, and you will need a valid passport. Let me know how else I might be able to
help. Regards and the best of luck. Randy
