Ok, I see, I see. I just thought that you were applying for K1 with a marrige certicate. I was going to advice to re-check. But I guess your posting your checklist as an example.

Perhaps I came a little late. But I have a question for you. You are applying for a K1 Visa right? And in your checklist above you say you have marrige certificate?

Might be a little too late to answer your question, But she can keep her name. I don't think it's a problem at all. My wife kept her name intact and it was never put in question. We'll only at the Social Security office, a clerk told me that if she's my wife then she must bear my last name. I had to school that lady saying that it's state law that a woman may opt for keeping her name, but obviously this was a lady that couldn't do her job right. But at USCIS we never encountered a problem.

We just got approved this morning at the San Bernardino field office. The process since mailing it out took 3 months and a week! yay! She'll get her card in the following weeks!

I posted a similar question earlier this week. I wanted to find out how most people are dealing with medical exams. I filed for a K-1 Fiancé visa and my fiancé at that time had a medical exam performed, they also look at her vaccinations. The problem I am having is that medical office in Ciudad Juarez left the vaccination worksheet empty. The rest was given to us in sealed envelope that we gave to the consulate.

When we got to the consulate they took the sealed envelope and kept it, we never saw it again. So…When I am looking at form i-693 it states that you need to show proof that you took the physical. So I called USCIS and the operator told me that I have to called Ciudad Juarez Consulate to request a copy of the medical exams.

Then I went to civil surgeon and they said you don’t need to request the exams, because if you’re applying for AOS within one year of the exam, then It is not required to do another ( but like I said, I don’t have proof because the consulate kept the sealed envelope) physical exam. What I do have is an EMPTY vaccination worksheet given to us by Ciudad Juarez Clinic, that the civil surgeon says that’s all that is needed to complete the requirements, BUT WHAT DO I DO WITH THE REST OF THE I693, DO I LEAVE IT BLANK? And only do the vaccination worksheet? Who is giving me the correct information? How are you guys doing it?

I called Kaiser and they said they can administer the vaccines Tdap/MMR/Flu shot.

My fiance did a medical exam in cd juarez for a k1 visa. Now, in the application for I-485 its asking for a civil surgeon worksheet. When we went to juarez they gaves us one, and the doctor fill out the form with her name address and doctor signature. She showed her official mexican vaccination card and they told her she didnt need shots. However the worksheet is all blank in areas of vaccination record...are yours the same way? Can i submit the worksheet so we dont have to pay a civil surgeon again?

Thanks for your guidance. Have a good weekend.

Now that the AOS is submitted, your wife entered a NEW period of authorized stay. Any other scraps of paper she has with dates matter not. You did it right.

Edit; Oh, you wrote 8/3 but you mean 9/3. So, when you submit, what I said will be true (once it is accepted for initial review). The post office is closed on Monday, so I don't think you'll be getting your package out until Tuesday

Youre right thanks for the correction.

I am not exactly sure of your question, is it enough time to process her application. From what you have written you have met the terms of a 129-F by getting married in the 90 days from her arrival--there is no more "processing" done with it by USCIS. The AOS can be filed and it will be processed. Just make sure you have all of the required documents. It took me a week after getting married to get a certified copy of the marriage certificate to send with the AOS packet.

Creating a time line on your profile helps others

Dont we have a 90 day window to marry and apply for aos?

There's no deadline for AOS, so I'm not sure what you mean about enough time for USCIS to process her application.

You had to get married within the 90 days period, and you complied; after that, you can file for AOS at your earliest convenience.

Really there isnt a deadline? Dont i have file within 90 days or when the visa expires? There is also a little paper they gave her when she entered the us and it has the date 9/29/2012...are you sure?

Can someone tell me if my timing is good?

My wife was approved for k1 visa on 4/3/2012 and it expires on 10/22/2012.

She was my fiance at that time.

She entered the US on 7/02/2012 and we got married on 8/01/2012. I plan on mailing AOS i-485 on monday 8/3/2012 is that enough time for uscis to process her application?

Ok, thanks. Is there like a time frame to apply for a SS card your fiance or wife ?

When can we apply for my wife's social security card?

her point of entry was on 7/2/2012 and we just got married on 8/1/2012 (k1 Visa)

I am also waiting on the official marriage certificate to do adjustment of status.

Thank you.

You have to acknowledge "selective service" in one of the options and that will let you print it out the form. You have to scroll down and read it even if it doesn't apply to you. Good luck

about 6-7 days, and it was delivered to Coahuila, Mx.

En mi experiencia con la K1, la documentacion requerida era una copia de comprobante de naturalizacion y el acta de nacimiento.

Hi, I dont think you need letter from friends it sounds like what you currently have is sufficient. In my experience we only had a two page chat log from skype.

And another word of advice I can give is don't leave her alone, be with her in every step of the process. When I was in Juarez my fiance got a bit nervous during the interview and the officer ask her to go outside of the building to get me ( I am the USC). Luckily I stood outside of the building the whole time looking towards the door waiting for her to come out. Finally when I saw her I noticed a worried looked on her face. I was expecting her to tell me we were approved, but it turns out i was called in the building to interview. Well, everything turned out well, it was just a matter of language barrier and the visa was approved. But don't leave her alone.

Do you think it would help though ... and should it be notorized. I haven't seen much info on this so just wondering?

I filed a K1 and i was approved, in my documentation i did not have any notarized letters. I dont think you need such a thing in this leg of the process.

Attire is important, its good that youre looking into this. He should dress formal (its better) or semi formal. Dress shoes, slacks, and dress shirt. Remember they are going by whats on paper and moral character.

Good luck!

My fiancee is approved but has not arrived yet. She will be here in july. She wanted put her vote in for presidential elections in her country. Were going to do the civil wedding on her 3rd day here and well get AOS started

In july 2

Look for the barcodes and thats it

Well it depends... if no one asks dont offer to give more information than what is needed. If someone asks you and its part of the application process, you know the answer to that. You have to be honest on all immigration applications, especially if it appears in a background check or police report.

Arizona is unlawful, You'll definately need it there, the wild west.

But what people are saying above is true. I lost mine many years ago and i waited for the renewal which wasnt far, but i did reported the card lost.

As long as it is not more than six months on the day is submitted, and nvc processing takes more than six months sometimes. So by the time you get to your interview, it is possible that the photo is technically invalid. Best thing to do is get another one, is not worth risking your application process for 5 dollars ( the cost of a passport photo. Wish you luck.

Ok just to clarify the passport photos we scanned for the NVC are tge same ones we take to the interview right? No need to take new ones?

Thank you

Well the consulate says it takes 10 days to arrive at your home destination. Ours took 5 days and we were able to track it on the DHL using a tracking number. cdj is no place to stay, there is literally nothing to do there.

Hi danilu, start off by telling us what city are you in?
