US Immigration from Philippines

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!

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!

Hello everyone, I need some help. My ROC is pending along with my adult daughter's (K2). I am about to file for naturalization. She moved out few months ago, no contact with me. On part 6 of the N-400 form where it asks for the child's residence, can I type 'unknown' (since I don't know her address)? Or should I put my home address?

I have been having a difficult time finding this out. I also don't know if we get an e-mail notification, but it seems like sometimes we do? Anyone that has been through this with the Philippines and know what to expect? Thanks ahead of time.
