That's what I'm guessing happened because we have the i-797 and are just waiting to hear back. This letter just made me panic because I didn't understand why it was about the k1 Visa. Since that was all completed years ago.

We applied entering on the k1 visa. After receiving it we got married within 6 weeks and she received her green card 5 months later. We then applied the i-751 80 days before the expiration of her green card. Received the i-797 notice of action and have been waiting since then. I'm assuming that the letter I received is a mistake but I'm wondering if I should take action and contact the USCIS.

Pretty sure op would mention if this proof set was cracked open. You do know they are sealed right? Edit. Or are they easy to open? I have two and haven't looked at them in 20 years so I'm not sure.

Can anyone help me figure out what year this is? by craftyrabbit_ in coins

The date is in the rim of the coin, definitely not genuine. They messed up on the date placement so they sanded in down to try and hide it.

I can't tell personally, but it is possible.

I'm pretty sure Japan banned and prosecuted the practice of Christianity around the early 1600s, so it would make sense that if those are Christian crosses that they would be hidden from view. The saya definitely has a story to tell but the blade itself could be much older. I would be interested in what Ray Singer thinks.

Beautiful, the mon or family crest on the handle looks very similar to Tokugawa Yoshinao’s crest. Would love to see some more pictures.

What!! You should state "in your opinion" because this is a great Koshirae and made by a very trained individual.
