Ir-2 passed medical at St.Lukes, Ir-1 (wife) failed X-ray, which really blows. Wife is down. Do we still proceed with son's interview or delay for wife, having to wait 2 weeks for sputum, then 2+ months for results, then trying to schedule IV appointment?

Also, I'm thinking about moving out of California since we were already planning to get out of my birthplace state, which I can't deal with the politics anymore. Is it difficult to get the Visa's moved to a new address during this time, after submitting everything, not to miss in the mail?

Thanks for any advice.

Hello, I m the Filipino beneficiary. I am hoping to get my K1 visa issued within this month.

I was reading on posts here that it is very important to marry AND file for AOS within 90 days. What I know so far is, when I get to the States:

1. Apply for SSN

2. Marry

3. File AOS

4. Name change on SSN (later on, not sure when)

If that s wrong please correct me. My main question though is this: given this timeframe right now, where my fiance and I are still not together in person in the US, are there any specific steps we can take in advance as of right now? Just based on everyone s experience, was there any document you wished you have requested or applied for earlier, or is everything a pretty smooth process?

Just a little concerned, because it looks like many couples file for AOS past 90 days. It made me wonder whether it was very time-consuming to gather documents or something.

I am ready to submit payment for the IV and Affidavit of Support fees on the CEAC website, but I only use PayPal. I do have a checking account number and routing number I'm just not sure if they accept PayPal as a payment method. Does anyone know? Thank you so much!

I m looking for some insight, my husband had his interview ( Mumbai, India ) in January of this year. The counselor officer requested he submit more documentation , they did not keep his passport. All requested documentation was submitted within two weeks. Since February, there has been 11 times so far the date has changed when we check the case status. As for status itself, it continues to read Refused . Has anyone experienced several date changes , before receiving an actual decision? Can this be a good or bad thing ? Thanks for sharing any experience or knowledge.

Hi Folks,

In the process of filling out the AoS for my stepson...in the I-485 form...do I use his mother's Alien Registration Number when filling out the form or should he have his own number?

Thanks!
