Hello!

I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong topic.

I have several questions regarding K1 visa. I have a lot of questions :D

Please, be nice, that's what I've decided, so these are the questions for those who have done that and are okay with it.

1. Question to those who have changed the last name after getting married.

As I understand, after getting married, we'll receive a marriage certificate. Where should I go to legally change my last name after marriage? I know that I would need to take the certificate with me, of course.

Do I also need to go to my country's embassy in the US to change my passport (my full new name) too?

And when I apply for Adjustment of Status, am I going to be able to apply with my new last name?

2. I heard somewhere, that when you arrive to the US with the K1 visa you can immediately apply for Social Security number. Is that true?

In that case, I should be using my current full name, right? Although, for some reason, I think I read somewhere that I could write my soon-to-be husband's last name as mine.

If you have any other extra info I would really appreciate it!

Hello, Everyone!

I was wondering which estimated time webpage was more accurate for you - VJ or the other tracking webpage (that is the other most popular one)?

Thank You in advance!

Hello!

This is a question for those who decided to get married without any proposal/engagement ring and went to the K1 visa interview.

I was wondering what did you say when they asked you How did he propose ? I read on the internet that it s one of the most popular questions that are asked at the embassy.

Can I say that he didn t propose to me, but since we love each other so much, we decided that we want to get married?

Does it somehow affect chances of getting visa approved or not? I mean, I m sure it shouldn t, but still, I would like to know more info!


I would like to hear your experience!

Thanks in advance

Hello!

It would be really interesting to see where everyone is in the process now, and when you filed your I-129f

I'm sorry if this kind of post already exists - I'm new here and still learning how things work here! :D

Thanks

Confusing regarding i485/i765/i131 timeframes/filing locations

Hello, I'll be arriving on the 26th and soon after that we'll be getting married, I've been looking into the process now so it's less stressful/complicated when we actually have to file it.

1. Where to file? When going to the i765 usics page, you get this link: https://www.uscis.gov/uscis-lockbox-filing-locations-chart which states the i765 should be filed to Dallas, and near the top it states 485 can also be filed there, but when you go to the i485 page it states SC should file to Chicago.

2. Timeframe confusion - currently processing time estimate by USICS for i-131 shows as 22.5 months for Texas Dallas, i485 shows 14 months for Texas, 13 months for Greer SC, 22.5 for Chicago IL

2.1 What exactly happens here? Do I submit to texas/chicago/wherever and they forward it to Greer so I can take my biometrics/interview there? Is it all wrong and I file to Greer SC?

2.2 It seems like the processing time for I-131 is longer than I-485 - is there any point at all for me to apply for I-131, would it not be a waste of money?

3. Looking at this website, people in Greer, SC have had a GREAT turnaround for their GC, is it locale based and they just dont have a lot of cases so it gets processed quicker?
