US Immigration from Indonesia

Hi All.

Our K-1 petition was approved on Aug 16th 2023.

My fianc and I are waiting for welcome letter from NVC.

While waiting for the welcome letter, as beneficiary I like to start collecting required documents.

I used to live in Malaysia on May to November 2006.

I checked on the US embassy website, I will only need police certificate country of residence for six months or more and all countries where I have lived for one year since age 16.

Then, on the same website again,

• Police certificates from your present country of residence and all countries where you have lived for six months or more since age 16 (Police certificates are also required for accompanying children age 16 or older)

Does (did) anyone has experience with police clearance certificate?

Should I still need to present police certificate from Malaysia?

I am bit confused with these different information from same sources.

Really appreciate for you advice.

many many thanks

hey there,

my fiance in the US changed his home address (NOT his mailing address)

do i need to notify nvc or uscis? my case is currently at nvc

if so, how do i go about notifying them?

asking because i dont know whether to put the new address in my ds160 and i134

or should i just notify them during the interview?

thanks a lot,

michelle

hey guys,

i see a lot of topics regarding what documents to bring to your k1 visa interview but i wanted to see if theres 2023 latest updates on what we need to prepare in terms of financial documents

a couple of q s:

1. how many months / years worth of:

- paystubs

- tax transcripts

- income statements

2. if my fiance only has 2021,2022; will the co know that we cant get 2023 tax transcripts yet or do we need proof that we cant obtain it? (sorry if this question is worded poorly and is confusing)

3. any other suggestions and advice on what documents i should be bringing

thanks in advance,

michelle

Hi all,

Our judicial oath ceremonies are finally happening this Friday. Preparing for it and noticed several potential issues:

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/guides/chapter5.pdf says only the green card needs to be returned, but

https://askellis.com/oath-ceremony-naturalization/ (not official, but reading it since it discusses what happens on the day) say return other USCIS issued documents like EAD and AP as well.

Presumably only the green card is needed? Our concern is somewhere between USCIS and USPS my wife's EAD card was lost. We didn't really file any official report back then since our green card interview was scheduled not long after anyway.

And how strictly is the dress code enforced? Esp the no jeans part

"""

The naturalization ceremony is

a solemn and meaningful event.

Please dress in proper attire to

respect the dignity of this event

(please no jeans, shorts, or flip

flops).

"""

Thanks!

Our judicial oath ceremony is scheduled for 8/25, and per the suggestions on this forum we are thinking of getting passports and passport cards first, /then/ using the passport card when updating our names on our Social Security cards, then using that to update bank accounts, names used for payroll, etc.

Problem is... expedited processing now takes an estimated 7-9 weeks, and normal processing takes 10-13. Not including mailing time.

What happens if, say, we end up with W-2s with our old names?

And... Given this timeline - is taking an emergency trip out of the country to qualify for an urgent travel appointment the only recourse? We also thought of using expeditors but a) are not sure how much faster it is, and b) are told on another forum that those are currently not allowed to operate

Thanks!
