natrigon Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Well our interview is right around the corner, April 15th. The only source of stress is that we have absolutley no control. Everything has been checked and double checked and our pics/documents/receipts are in order. I hope like the last dozen of CFL'ers we have no problem. I did have a question regarding the K-1 visa: I will be moving to the Los Angeles area before Mei and her 17 year old daughters arrival for a new job and a city with some Chinese. After she arrives we plan on getting married on about June 19th. Thinking of getting married in Las Vegas and having the party in LA. Just wondering about the timing, filing and name change. Does it matter where we get married? Should we file anything before marriage? Etc. Louis Link to comment
tywy_99 Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 I don't think CIS cares where you are married just as long as you are married within the alotted 90 days. After marriage, you can work on getting the I-485 and I-765 ready to mail.Sounds like you have all your bases covered, Louis.Good luck next week to the two of you. I am sure all will go well.

Trigg Posted April 10, 2004 Report Share Posted April 10, 2004 Louis, Good luck on the interview. It seems like yesterday we had ours. I imagine you are pacing the floors. Not to worry, she will do fine and very soon the worm will turn for you. Best of luck to both of you.Trigg Link to comment

Wow, it seems like just yesterday that your application was stuck at NVC.... Mine was stuck in Moscow..... Except, now, mine is still stuck in Moscow... Yours got through NVC.... Got through GZ.... AND NOW THE INTERVIEW IS IN LESS THAN A WEEK. I hope all goes well at the interview. You have waited a long time for it. Best Wishes,Clifford Link to comment
natrigon Posted April 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Ya, good advice. I am feeling wierd because there is nothing left for me to do at this time. I really hate to be in limbo but only a few more days.... aarrrgggh. Clifford, Man I really think it sux that your file is still in Moscow with no additional info. I wish there was something I could help you with, this is one proposed bet I am sorry to win. I was really hoping for a tie. Best wishes for some progress soon. Louis Link to comment
bobmal99 Posted April 11, 2004 Report Share Posted April 11, 2004 Just make sure you also file the AOS within the 90 day time frame...... Link to comment

Trigg Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Hey louis,I know you have heard about what happened with Carl and Bing. I'm sure they will get their visa soon. I hope you don't have to go through any of that. Your interview is only a few hours away and I want to wish you and Mei the best of luck. I guess you are very nervous, especcialy in light of Carl's terrible experience. I doubt that will happen twice in a row to a CFLer. Well anyway best of luck to both of you. Let us all know as soon as you find out.Trigg Link to comment
keelec Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Wow, an interview tomorrow...... Ask Bing what line not to stand in..... If she calls your name, have someone say that Mei is in the bathroom Anyway, best of luck, and I assume what happened to Carl and Bing is just a fluke. ------ Clifford ----- Link to comment
warpedbored Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Louis, now its your turn to shine. Hopefully they finished their quota for rejections with Bing and I. I wish you all the luck in the world. Link to comment
DaveR Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Louis, Best of Luck to you. I am sorry to see someone leave the Mississippi Coast, but you have to go where the jobs are. I know that Mei will shine and not get the same window as Bing did. I have my fingers crossed. Link to comment
natrigon Posted April 14, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Thanks to all !! I am sitting here at work standing beside myself !! It's 3am in China otherwise I would call Mei and tell her not to worry (haha). Well tonight sometime I will get the telephone call from GZ and let you all know more. AARRGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Link to comment
Dynasty Posted April 14, 2004 Report Share Posted April 14, 2004 Don't sweat it Louis, Mei will do just fine, have faith. And try to relax a bit. As for your question, I suggest that shortly after she arrives and before you marry, apply for her SSN since it is needed for many things. You just don't know how long you will be waiting for the EAD after you file the AOS. Good luck in LA, we'll miss y'all here in the south. Oh, Chang and I are doing fantastic together, it couldn't be better between us. Our wedding is on May 1st. Thanks for asking. Since there is like only 2 other Chinese in this small town, I'm even considering moving to SF. There she might have a better chance of meeting some friends she can relate to. For now, we are just going to wait and see how things go here. Don't forget to post the good news. Link to comment

Mei is also bringing her 17 year old daughter (my new step-daughter) so I opted for the job in LA were there is a good sized Chinese population. Real happy that you and Chang are doing fantastic. Congratulations on your May 1st wedding date. Hope all goes smooth. Link to comment
