The part of the sentence I put in bold is incorrect. An EAD card can applied for at the same time AOS is filed; the purpose of an EAD card is to allow the holder of it to work while their AOS is pending.

OP, your wife can work while her AOS is pending provided she has the EAD card. Be aware, you need to think in terms of many weeks or a few months before an EAD card would be issued. Sometimes AOS is approved before an EAD card is ever issued.

ANYONE ENTERING ON K1 VISA CAN WORK AS STATED IN SOCIAL SECURITY ONLINE "RM 10211. 420" PLS SEE THIS WEBSITE

Hello VJ's, why is it SSA document (POMS-RM 10211.536) says K1 visa allowed to work everyone here says

cannot work until you get EAD.

HI! I JUST NOTICED WE HAVE THE SAME NOA1 NOV. 21,2011 BUT MY BIO APPOINTMENT WILL BE ON DEC. 30,2011. I THINK CASE TRANSFER IS NORMAL TO MAKE IT MUCH FASTER FOR PROCESSING. WHERE DID THEY TRANSFER YOUR CASE?

Hi, glad I got an idea from you , it was transferred to CA from Missouri ahh I see thanks about that PreciousOne... Merry Christmas in advance God Bless!

Has anyone here in VJ transferred their AOS case from other service center? your comments is highly appreciated.Merry Christmas to all!

Hi VJ's I was in Guam as my Port Of Entry and the Immigration officer told me that the I am legal to work

in US as soon as I arrive in the mainland do you have any idea about this? I appreciate any comments about this.

Hi guys I have posted this already just a few days but haven't get any answer from anyone. I need your help please regarding some informations for the interview appointment online. I have som questions on how to fill up online.

Step 5

Schedule an appointment using the online appointment system. You will need three pieces of information in order to schedule an appointment:

Your passport number ( Is this the beneficiary's passport number?)

Your MRV fee payment receipt number ( Is this the number after you paid the BPI?)

The ten (10) digit barcode number from your DS-160 confirmation page (And what is this number?)

And also what should I put with the priority number? And also for case number?

I appreciate any help. Thank you :)

Hello are you going for an online appointment what we did was just my passport number and date paid after 5 hours I paid in BPI.

then i had already my schedule for my interview. Good Luck!

Hi, you don't have to worry it will be delivered soon but on Monday is a holiday in the USEmbassy so just wait

for another couple of days this week. Good Luck!

I am one of many April filers who had to sit and wait while May, June, July, and now August filers were being approved. I couldn't sleep and was worried that MAYBE our petition wasn't as good and thoroughly prepared as I thought it was... maybe I missed something? What if we have an RFE?! Maybe that speeding ticket I got a few months back did something? I was on edge. I called my congressman, 2 weeks before my 5 month mark and told me that someone at USCIS informed him that our NOA2 will be approved shortly. I told him well our 5 month mark will be soon, he tells me to call him back if I don't receive anything. I wait... nothing. 5 months finally pass and instead of calling my congressman back I put in a service request since I am passed the 5 month mark. 3 days ago I receive an email from USCIS stating to wait 60 days for a decision or notice of action and that our case is still in process. I am mad at this point... 60 more days I have to wait?! Are they kidding me! Then today I check my email... nothing. I then check the case status at USCIS.gov... and there it was "Post Decision Activity" I-129F was approved on Sept. 29, 2011. We mailed you a notice blah blah blah..."

So April filers... please contact your US Congressman and or Senator (make sure hes not one of those rabid against ALL immigration types). Let him/her make a call for you to USCIS to inquire on your petition. If still not NOA2... wait till your 5 month mark is up and call USCIS to make a service request. They will ask you questions concerning your I-129F to verify you. They will then send an email to tell you what to expect next. Hopefully then your petition will get approved soon after.

Hi congrats yeah i knew how it felt to be waiting but you got it now.... go go go for the next step. Good Luck!

can a k2 visa (a child below 21) can come to the USA and go back again for few months back to the prior country of origin and is open visa anytime to the US? thanks for ur reply in advance.

hi, i would like to ask if there are people here who had their interview from 1st to 2nd week of September and still waiting for their visas. i was interviewed last September 8 and still waiting for it. i just want to know the recent waiting period for the receiving of visa. thank you

Hi don't worry your visa will be released soon.

I hope you meant

THIS Sept not LAST Sept?

Need help. I did my interview Aug 9,2011 the Consul had more questions regarding security name check that gave them a Red flag. The consul asked me to come back on another interview Aug 11,2011 she had more questions that took us 3 hours of talking blah blah blah. Then told me that my files need to be put under AP they kept my passport and asked me to call them up after two weeks I did call them but they said it was still under further review status... My kids are with my fiance and they are only 5 and 6 years old it is causing us financial and emotional strain especially to my kids. Please advice if there is anyway I can ask the embassy to see an action regarding my case... Thank you

Hi was there something wrong with your papers? did you ask the CO about why your fiancee went to security name check or anything needs more to be submitted to the USEM. But our only concern for this situation is to ask help from your senator in your place so that the AP will be cleared at once, and your visa will be released. God Bless you both and your kids.

yes i went Guam as port of entry. They are not strict just hand them the brown envelope then they will let u sign one paper. then after 5 minutes your good to go.

Thanks Joyjohn for the reply God Bless you both.

Hi VJ members, has anybody went through Guam as Port Of Entry?

hmmm all i need are comments, suggestions about the topic not the "place where the topic to be placed" as long as it's read by VJs who can have an idea for the topic. hayy naku...

Hi dear VJs Does anybody knows who approves the VISA? yes most will say the CONSUL Officer, If the CONSUL OFFICER then visa will be released at once to the normal delivery, hence most VISA are released eternity. Do you have any suggestions about this topic? Thanks in advance for your concern about this topic.

Hmmmmmm....Questions please.

1) Did you offer a tip to the guard? Did you offer to buy a seat inside?

2) Why did you feel/think you were in danger?

(I chilled outside during the first day sputum. Bought some drinks and snacks from a few peddlers. Glad they were there. Visited with a lolo hawking smokes, pens, passport photo's and other supplies. He chased off a few beggars for me. )

3) I doubt most VJ's think the Kano will be allowed inside. Why no "plan B"?

(I read your email correspondence but I also know/knew that most Kano's are not allowed in. I rode the taxi to drop asawa ko off and went back to the hotel.)

(Have you ever heard the saying...don't piss off the waitress until your finished eating...? The lolo I mention told me there are 150-200 people showing up every day..just for the sputum. Your cash helps get your visa and happy life together. The cost is insignificant. I'm sure St. Lukes doesn't put much value on 1 Kano's wad of cash either. Do you think Sam Walton rolls in his grave over 1 irate customer?)

Stay focused and enjoy your time with your fiancee's family. Don't forget, if you pull this off, it will be a long time before they see their daughter again as she will be on the other side of the world with you.

Hang in there.

Crashed~N2~Me'

YES You're right ...

Hi Vj's Let me air this to you about this situation after the interview the CO said your VISA is APPROVED then the last window said you have to wait your VISA at home and he said so means no problem no additional docs. was asked, thanks

but it's been 10 days after which the regular delivery for VISA and so far had not received, so calling the USEM was the best way and they said it' still on Admin.processing. confusing the CO said APPROVED but seems not" Any comments about this dear VJ's, Your comments and reactions is highly appreciated.

Hey VJ members

I recently got my I-129f petition approve and now I'm waiting for MANILA EMBASSY to mail the letter to my FIANCE in PI. I have the MNL case number. Anyway I have a bunch of questions I needed to be clarified.

1. Does MANILA embassy send out a PACKET 3?

2. Do my fiance need to make copies of his passport biographic data page and submit a checklist signed and a signed DS 230 part I?

3. Do K1 visa need a DS 230 for Manila?

4. What is a DS 160 and does MANILA need it?

Thanks in advance

all you will need for your fiancee in her interview are forms DS156, DS 156K & DS 157 filled up all, then BC, CENOMAR (if single)/CEMAR if married before, NBI clearance, Affidavit of support & the ITR & her passport of course good luck!

Nope have to family relative and a USC.

thanks Barbara

Not at all family for finance. Try a visitor visa and see how it goes.

thanks bigdog for ur reply

Hi Vj's can somebody petition a friend?

Not a big deal to most when they get their first NOA1 but I am going to make it a big deal because it is to me.

I got NOA1 today. W00t!!! W00t!!!

"Celebrate tonight come on.... tana .... na , na na, na , na wooohooo!!! tana na, na ,na , na ,na, na woooohooo!!!"

You all better be dancing with me right now!!!

CONGRATS! 1ST STEP

what should I place as the priority date in the online scheduling? I know VJ's said its the NOA1 date but what is it? the Notice date or the Received date?

the Notice date 1

So we got our NOA2 approval last Aug 10. Called NVC and they gave us our manila case number Aug 15. My fiance called yesterday, Aug 24 to ask if our case is already forwarded to the listed consulate. The agent said our case is undergoing further processing and unfortunately there is no time frame for that. I called again today and got the same response. I'm getting really worried that there is something wrong with our case. Has anyone gone thru the same thing? any inputs will be appreciated. Thanks!!

BY the way do not wait anymore for the packet 3 from USEM you will just waste your time even us we haven't had it we had done our interview, make your move Good Luck and God Bless!
