US Immigration from England

My wife is the beneficiary, adjusting from K1, she has a SNN, AOS package already sent but we are responding to our I-944 RFIE.

My wife doesn t have a credit card and neither do I, we both are debt free. She has a SSN with her maiden name on it. It s been roughly 13 months since she entered on her K1. We had tried months ago to check her credit online and nothing came up, so we tried endlessly to get one of the three major credit agencies to mail us a letter stating that she doesn t have a report and they misspelled her common first name 4 times in a row. The 5th time, TransUnion finally sent us a letter with the right name, but upon closer inspection it is not a letter stating that she does not have a credit report, rather a letter that appears to be... a WEIRD credit report.. it shows her full married name at the top with her personal info, then under that it shows account review inquiries where we had tried to view her credit report months ago on different occasions to get them to send us a letter. Then under that, it says special messages and says FILE SSN LIKELY NOT ISSUED PRIOR TO JUNE 2011 . The rest is just TransUnion s contact info.

My probably stupid question to you guys is, is this considered a credit report? It has no credit score or other information except for info on prior times we tried to find her credit report.

When we try finding her credit report on Experian and Equifax, they both give error messages saying that her credit report cannot be found. Should we include these and claim she has no credit report, or DOES she have a credit report and it s just completely blank? When we look on the TransUnion website her report is literally a blank drop down menu with nothing on it. Is this a glitch or a weird blank credit report? Thanks so much, any advice on this topic is much appreciated.

Hey all. We are finishing up the I-944 to send in as a response to the RFIE. I have a question. Part 3. Number 15. B. Asks:

What is your total annual deductible or annual premium?

These are two very different things. There is only one box to type in here, which one do we put? She has catastrophic coverage, not through an employer, non-subsidized. Bought straight from the company's website. We know what her deductible is, and how much we pay monthly. Please help? Haha. Thank you!

Hi all. We are filing our 130/i130a tonight and we just wanted to double check everything is correct. Just looking for personalised answers for my case. I am from the UK and my partner is a USC and we married under 1 month ago.

I130 is complete. Filled in ourselves online, don't think there are any issues here.

I130a, all looks good, only one possible hiccup is i personally do not know my dad's DOB, i know his name, where he was born and I know he still lives in the same area as me but that's all.

Evidence - Made a powerpoint with 8 photos, little explanations where they were taken and backgrounds are involved, Mexico, London, New York, Greece etc. Two pages of passport stamps also included and one boarding pass (only one i could find, happy to leave this out if needed) We don't have joint accounts, kids etc.

Passport photos, my wife (the petitioner) has her photos scanned kind of like a document so they aren't great quality, would this be okay?

Mine I took a little while ago (not too long, still look the exact same) but the quality is much better and its a pack of four photos. Do i need to crop this down to 1 or 2 photos or can i just upload the bulk so it's there?

Finally, I changed my name through deed poll as I never knew my dad and didn't want his name so i changed my name and the spelling of my first name. I have all official documents with my new name on my passport, licence etc but do i need to upload a copy of my deed poll or is it not required if I have my passport showing my new name? Nothing we are attaching has my old name but i have included it in the i130a where it says something like "have you had any previous names". I don't want to disclose full information but it would be similar to changing your name from Rhys Smith to Reece Jones. So the pronunciation of the first name is the same but the entire name is spelled different. So idk if this may cause an issue or not but I thought i'd ask if it needs to be included as its pretty much the final hurdle for sending the application off.

Thank you!

I was recently on here about to bite the bullet for a K1 visa but during our last visit we married and are now looking to file for the CR-1.

I have been reading a lot of things about the CR1 and only just found out that you can apply online instead of mailing everything in. Has anyone got any experience with this and is it any easier this way?

I also found myself on this website https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-1-submit-a-petition/step-2-begin-nvc-processing.html and was reading about how there are a number of visas limited in each case. How does this affect the application if we were to apply in the near future?

Another question is, if we married in December, is it a red flag to apply for a visa so quickly? Also, we only had a small courthouse style wedding with no family or friends present, we are just desperately trying to be together and didn't want this tiny wedding to be what we visioned as the best day of our lives, if that makes sense?

Hello everyone,

Sorry if this topic has been done to death but I'm not too clued up on this stuff.

So my phone plan with Vodafone has expired and I'm needing to get a new phone. I was meant to already have emigrated to the US but i'm still here....

I was thinking of buying a phone and getting a month to month SIM through GIFFGAFF. My question is, after eventually moving to the US, is the phone I buy going to be compatible with the US sim that I will buy out there.

Hope this makes sense and thanks in advance :)
