Hello Everybody,

According to NVC, we must change our consulate back to my fiance's original consulate for Norway, Stockhom. (Long story...basically, given really bad info from two sources).

We were curious to know if anyone had information on what is included in Packet 3 and 4. The list of what is needed and the physicians, etc.

Also, is it possible, when the time comes, for the Embassy to send this information by email to the beneficiary (since, he no longer resides in Norway...or, anywhere near Sweden at this time).

Any info you can give us would be appreciated. We were all set for Costa Rica and the information on VJ is pretty good with that, but Norway and Sweden looks very blank.

Thank you! And, any tips are absolutely welcomed!

after a lonfg wait of over 9 months,  i got an email about the approval, I almost lost hope and thought of cancelling the process, marry and the refile.Thanks to everyone of the support and information. this forum without doubt is a big help to everyone involved in the process.

Dearest VJ,

 

I've seen similar threads, but not quite the same: Does anyone know if it's a problem for me (a US citizen) to go live with my fiancee (a Turkish citizen) in Istanbul while we complete the K-1 visa process?

 

We fully intend to come to the US together as soon as we can, but I'll be leaving my current US residence in the meantime, and probably changing the address on our K-1 application to my parents' house in the US.

 

I received our NOA1 in late February 2012, so we could be waiting in Turkey for a while (6 months?). Do I need to tell the USCIS or State Department that I'm moving abroad or can I just consider it a long visit?

 

Anyone have similar experiences or foresee any complications? What should I be ready to say and show at the Turkish and US airports? I'm not trying to subvert the system at all -- just trying to see my lady...

 

Many thanks!

 

I just received my EAD in the mail on May 18th (approval was May 10) and would now like to go to the Social Security Office asap to get my name changed on my SSN (it is still in my maiden name, and I'd like to change it to my married name). Can anyone advise me how long it usually takes until my status has been updated in the SAVE database? I would hate going to the SS Office (which is a 50 minute drive) and have them tell me that my status has not been updated yet.

 

(This is also in regards to that (older) topic: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/52457-ead-and-ss-name-change/)

 

Also, if I apply for a job (I am currently in the process of writing applications) and the name on my SSN does not match the name on my EAD, what potential problems may I run into? Would the E-Verify system show me as not allowed to work? I tried the self-check, but it does not work for me.

 

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

 

I am not sure this is the right forum to place my question. If its not, please move my post at the right forum.

 

Anyway, to those who have a first hand idea of my question, I appreciate helpful information from everyone and do thank you for sharing.  Here's my question.  If you are paid by doing a freelance work, for example doing consultation work to somebody and you are paid by this person or organization but they have not made you sign anything for them to report what they paid you with the IRS.

 

I hope I do sound clear with my inquiry. Thank you!
