Hi..same thing happened to me too.just called them today about the status of my application and they said they coudnt verify my ssn.im done with my drug test last week and was just waiting for their call..i called nexis lexis and they asked me to email my scanned social security card and drivers license.but she said it will take 30 days to resolve the issue..its crazy

i actually dont know how to start. .. im happy being with my husband, we waited to be together for years and during those times of waiting i thought this was the greatet dream i ever had... and i still do believe in that though... only the part of adjusting to this new enviromnent makes me feel sad despite the fact that i had my dream to be with hubby came true now...

right now i cant stop crying coz i really miss being home. i miss our home in the phil especially my mom and my sister. my dad lives here in the US too but he's quite far, he in CT. It costs much to visit him.. Though I really wanna see him. I think seeing my dad might make my homesickness come off a li'l bit. But its costly to travel there. I really feel sad being alone at home while hubby is at work. Im trying to fight off the feeling but its too strong that I cant help but cry alone... I dont have anyone else to talk to when he's out and Im feeling bored doing the same things at home over and over.. Though Im kind of thankful with the chores coz thats only effin thing that makes me a li'l busy... II even feel so dumb here. I dont even know how to go to burger king alone. and besides I dont have any money so I definitely cant go anywhere. Hubby is taking care of all my needs and he's supportive but its also different to have your own money. I feel like I'm not capable of doing anything. I cant drive, I cant go out alone, I'm stuck being home. And one more thing, I do speak englis well enough to communicate but I sopmetimes find it hard to understand native english speakers when they talk too fast. I feel so dumb and stupid. How am I supposed to get a job if Im this dumb?!!! And I dont even applied for my AOS and EAD at this point! (more than a month now in CA) Our marriage certificate hasnt arrived yet... Uggghh evrything is a mess and I so feel like going home (Phil).. Im so lonely here... Im just staying here because of my hubby. Nothing else... What am I gonna do?

Im here in California almost 6 months now but still dealing homesickness..trying to get a job but its not that easy. .I will be going back to Philippines on January to pick up my 2 kids but im worried they might not like it here too..I dont know if bringing them here is a right decision..They are so close to their dad and everytime i tell them that they are coming in US soonn, the will say No and they want to stay with their dad..They are only 3 and 6 years old and i miss them so much . i always cry almst everyday coz i miss them so much..They already have their k2 visa..Im just really confuse if i should bring them here or should I give up my american dream and just go back to Philippines and be with my kids and they can be with their dad at the same time. I came here through k1 and now have conditional GC

you can only apply for k2 visa within one year from the date k1 was issued

my kids got their k2 visa today in manila tembassythey were scheduled 7:30 and they finished 9am..it was pretty fast..cant wait to bring them here in United States..I hope they will like it here..

awww thank you so much for your reply ..yes i think i need to be tougher. im just missing my kids so much but they will be here soon ..thank you so much

need advice please.. I am already here in US,but my kids are,still in philippines..im still adjusting and so homesick and sometimes just wanna go back to philippines..i already have my greencard..im still looking for a job and its not that easy to get a job..cant help but self pitty..anyway..my kids will have their interview tomorrow for k2 visa..my kids are so close to their dad but he allowed them to come here since the education here is better..but sometimes,i am confuse if its right to bring them here since I myself is still trying to adjust and trying to like this country.Its been 5 months since arrived here but sti

l adjusting to everything.Good thing my husband is here with me all the time...im also concern coz they are so spoiled and dependent..they have their own yayas there.They have good life in Philippines but its so hard for me as a mother to be away from them too..im just confused what to do:( by the way , they are 3 and 6 years old.they are both going to school..

yea i already updated my resume..i graduated with degree of Secondary aeducation in Philippines but i dont have lisence..my experience is only in call center field..tried to apply in retails but i didnt receive reply from companies yet..also walk in in several stores but they told me to apply online..kinda frustrating:((

Its been 3 weeks since i got my green card but cant find job yet..tried to apply online but no one is calling me back .anyone who is from San Diego here??

really? i applied for SSN 8 days after i received my EAD.. i waited like 2 hours in Social Security office and when it was my turn the woman said she cant find my record in their system yet. she said they have to validate my documents and it will take 4 weeks.. so maybe thats true.. she also said it will be easy to apply SSN once i have my green card.. my green card just arrived today and i will try to apply again next week:)

thank you so much for the reply..very helpful

oh okay..thank you so much for your reply..so helpful..i tried to asked our attorney who processed my k1 and AOS but he wants us to pay him $500 before he will give us info about the requirements of k2 .Lawrence Holmes immigration Law office

hi..affidavit of support is the w2?

Hi everyone..im planning to bring my 2 kids here in US soon..They will have their personal appearqance in embassy 2nd week of sept..im just confused with the documents they need to bring in Philippine embassy.everytime i call embassy they keep on telling me that documents will be the same with k1.do they need the affidavit of support too?thank you

hi.. i had same experince before..i went to st.lukes and i didnt have the NVC letter from embassy yet .i only had my case no. and iinterview appointment letter .the staff asked for the letter from NvC and i told him i dont have it yet but i have the case number already.. he said he can let me have my medical but i have to bring the NVC letter during my interview.

Hi all.. i just have a question about k2 visa..i am currently here in US now and will have my AOS interview in less than 2 weeks.after my nterview we start the process for k2 visa in philippines.i have 2 daughters but my ex will only allow one of them to come here. my question is..when we filed the 129f petition , my fiance put my kids name in the petition but ..he put NO in "join to follow field..is that gonna be an issue? i called the embassy but they said to check their website for iNstructions which is so frustrating

Hi vjs.. i came in America almost 3 months now as k1 visa.. i will have my green card interview in 2 weeks which is quite fast from time we filed AOS. i am happy with my husband but i left my 2 kids in Philippines.they are with their dad(my ex). it just break my heart coz i miss them so much.one of them might come here this year with k2 visa.i might get my elldedt daughter which is 6years old.i am kinda worried coz my daughter might have difficult time to adjust here. she is so close to her dad too.. im also worried of her transfering to school here coz she is so shy . does anyone have the same experience?

yes my husband will go to the interview with me.. im kinda nervous for this interview..i hope its easy as the k1 visa interview in Philippines..i didnt receive my EAD and AP yet but my AOS interview was schedule less then 3 months from date we filed it..so its okay.im so thankful for all your comments coz it was so helpful .it made my husband changed his mind to just not reschedule the AOS interview. he instead reschedule the cruise even if we paid extra charges and we cant go with his family anymore,,God Bless us all!

According to USCIS, there is possibility of getting delay for re-scheduling interview or biometrics. you might have to wait for months or so.

yeah..but its okay now,, we wont reschedle my AOS interview anymore..it will be less than a month now and im excited and nervous at th same time..

@ Dave..I let my husband read your comment..and now he understood how risky rescheduling AOS interview is..he thought it is that easy to reschedule and he is not aware of consequences..i tried to explain to him before but he is unwilling to listen..but now he decided to just reschedule our cruise.thank you so much everyone

hi,, my husband is not an attorney.. we just hired an attorney coz he is rushing this AOS for our trip.. but trip is now conflict to our AOS Interview..so my husband want to postponed our AOS interview.. and im kinda worried about it coz i know there are negative impact in rescheduling AOS interview

Is this ROC or did you come in on a different visa like a K-1?

If at all possible reschedule for before your originally scheduled time. I have seen reports of people whose local office did not receive the notice of reschedule and therefore denied for being a no show.

hi.. this for k1 c.. I heard about that too thats why im worried.. but my husband the attorney will take care of it.. but im still worried
