Hi all,

I am unsure which forum to post this in so hopefully I chose the right one.

My wife just entered the US on her IR-1 visa from the Philippines a few days ago and I also moved fairly recently too and didn't update my address yet with immigration. On her DS-260 I had selected the option for her to get her social security number right away.

From what I understand the SSA is supposed to mail her ss card to her a few weeks after entering the US and at the point of entry an immigration officer asked my wife her current address and appeared to update it on the spot.

My questions are:

1). Would the address the immigration officer took from my wife be the one the SSA uses to mail her card to her?

Or

2). If that isn't the case then how do we update our current address quickly so it doesn't go to my old address.

Thank you so much!

Hello all,

This is more for people that have went through the Kingston, Jamaica Embassy regarding the police certificate. My husband received his Police Certificate in December which does not expire for 2 years. However when looking at the required documents for the interview at the Kingston embassy it states the police record needs to be dated less than 6 months ago.

I am cautiously optimistic that we will be moving to New Hampshire at the end of july, as long as my visa arrives in time. My oldest daughter is 14 this year and is supposed to start high school in the fall, but we contacted the school and they said I cannot do anything until I actually move there. I want her to get the best start possible with all the other kids, so I am worried she will be delayed. Getting her immunization records and CRBA is no problem, but they said I have to show proof of physical and legal residency. How can I get that fast enough? Anyone have any tips? I plan to go get my social security number as quickly as I can, because I assume I might need that to be put on the mortgage or any bills? I would really hate for her to start late because of this. >_<

Anyone know if any documents stating I will be living with my fiancee might work?

Hi guys,

I have my medical for my K1 visa this coming Friday, I ve just been going through my documents doing a final check and I ve noticed they want the affidavit and IRS documents with me when I attend.

I have the IRS that s no issue, we have the I 134 document, my question is where does my fianc submit this completed form and his bank statements?

my understanding is that I have a copy of the form with me but he has to submit it somewhere, is that correct? Or are we submitting that at my physical document check?

Any help is much appreciated, the document check just says I require the I 134 and the IRS it doesn t mention his bank statements or proof of pension etc.

Many thanks Lesley

Good afternoon,

I read and knew that we had to send forms I130 and I485 together but my husband sent I130 first, we already got the letter confirming it was received now my question is that is the process going to be delayed because of that ? I am sending I485 form tonigt,

are going to have issues if we sent the I130 first ? How long it is taking to complete the process in Texas

Thanks for your help and advice, I will appreciate it
