Hi Terpe,

Greetings and thanks for the immediate info! Yes, I'm aware that it is definitely easier, though I also don't want to leave anything to chance. - We will definitely marry first and I will attempt to submit as much supplementary documentation as necessary to give ourselves the best chance of success!

My biggest issue will be timing - I will need to try and figure out how/whether it is possible to accomplish most of the necessary steps in a 5-week period (i.e. my vacation time). The 10-day marriage rule will be a killer in this regard, and I hear that getting the NSO marriage certificate post-wedding can also be a lengthy process (not to mention the visa wait time!).

Anyways, I won't overburden the introduction forum with these questions just yet! I will first read through what has already been discussed before coming back to the appropriate forums with more specific strategic questions!

Salamat!
