    OrderofProtection reacted to Nich-Nick in Rescheduling interview with London Embassy?   
    Another tip on AOS I learned that might steer you in the right mindset if you're as clueless as I was.--
    There's a bunch more people doing AOS from visas other than K1. All of them used to be lumped into one AOS forum, so it got confusing. Better now that there is a separate forum for those already in the US on student, work, tourist visas or even VWP. Those people didn't do a petition to get a spouse or fiancé visa as they were already here. So they do the I -130 petition concurrent with their AOS. You have already had a petition approved and do not do an I-130.
    Also forget everything you've done to get the K1 when you prepare your AOS. It's like a brand new ball game and you are the rookies nobody knows. The applications are to new people, new offices, and they aren't looking up anything that you submitted in the past. Act like this is the first thing ever submitted and don't wrongly assume they know you, where you live, work etc.
    Following on that line-- if the wife has a new (husband's) last name, use it on the forms whether as the applicant, or listed as the spouse and sponsor for the affidavit of support. There's places to put "former names used" if you are the applicant for the greencard and there is a marriage license that explains Miss X is now Mrs. Y. So don't worry that your paychecks or tax returns have your maiden name. They will understand those applying from K1 are newly married and might have changed their last name. Your application should use the name you plan to use after marriage and not what was on your K1 stuff. Again, it's like starting over so be the name you will use forever forward as a married lady. It's also okay to choose to not change your name after marriage. My husband and I have different last names and never had that questioned by immigration.
    When you do a G-325a biographic form, you can start with your saved copy from before but the applicant has a few changes for the new one. He/she is now married, has a spouse name to list, is unemployed (top line of work history), and has a new address in the US (top line of address history). You can start with the old forrm, make those changes, and do a "save as" with a new file name.
    Ok, that's the end of my lesson on switching your brain from K1 to AOS.

    Hang in there. It's really hard right now, but you'll get through it. We are waiting on a decision at the Embassy after a 221g, so definitely it's a tough Christmas, but there is still a great deal to be thankful for. Hopefully when we are done with this part of the journey we can look back and laugh, because we'll be able to laugh together... IN THE SAME PLACE!!

    Notice Of Intent To Deny, or NOID. It's bad news.
    The consulate officer didn't believe your relationship was real. They believed it was an attempt to circumvent immigration law. The consular officer sent the petition back to the USCIS with the recommendation that the approval of the petition be revoked. In the consular officer's mind, it should never have been approved.
    The reason this letter is bad news is because USCIS apparently agrees with the consular officer, and now they're intending to revoke the approval of your petition. What's worse is that it was the California Service Center. They usually don't readjudicate returned petitions. They just let them expire and let the petitioner file another one. The fact that they're sending a NOID without you having first tried to submit another petition means the consular officer's evidence must have been very convincing.
    Here's the rough part...
    By returning the petition, the consular officer has made an accusation against your fiancee. The accusation is that she made a material misrepresentation by applying for a visa based on an invalid relationship. That resulted in your petition being flagged. Marc Ellis, an attorney who sometimes posts on this board, calls this a "P6C marker", where "P6C" refers to section 212(a), paragraph 6C, of the Immigration and Nationality Act. That particular paragraph deals with immigration fraud.
    In a nutshell, the consular officer has accused your fiancee of fraud. If USCIS concurs by revoking the approval of the petition then that accusation becomes a finding of fact. In the eyes of the US government your fiancee will be guilty of immigration fraud. No future visa application will ever be approved for her unless she can get an I-601 waiver for the fraud charge. Those waivers are difficult to get, and usually require an experienced (and expensive) attorney.
    What I suggest you do is contact a good immigration attorney now. When you get the NOID letter you will have a limited amount of time to respond to it, usually about 30 days. If you don't respond forcefully and with tons of evidence then they'll revoke the approval of the petition, your fiancee will be guilty of fraud, and it will be much more difficult to get a visa in the future. Your main objective now is to stop USCIS from revoking the approval of that petition.

    Thanks so much Vermont Service Center for inducting me into the 200 Club. I'm grateful to VSC who has sat on my petition for 200 days now with not so much as an RFE or an approval. Without their lack of work and lack of dedication I might have been approved on time or even *gasp* early and therefore not have had the pleasure of induction into this club. An honor like this only happens to a few fine people here at Visa Journey, so I realize that having this honor is a once in a lifetime (hopefully) opportunity. I'll await my golden immigration USCIS representative statue that's coming in the mail, complete with royal purple sash that reads "200 club", and letter confirming my lifetime membership and stating that they are still working on my petition and it's on someone's desk.

    A lot of hard work on my part kiddies, and absolutely no work on theirs. THAT'S how you get where I am today. Yes, you too CAN be like me if you do everything you were asked, write every Congressperson and Senator in your district, wait patiently, and pay your fee that they gladly cashed 6 1/2 months ago. I'll be here to welcome you when you get inducted.
    Thanks again, VSC. I'll never forget you.

    OrderofProtection got a reaction from Michel and Kim in beneficiary moving during process   
    There is no form for changing your address at this stage of the game. Those forms AR-11 are for after you are in the US not while you are awaiting adjudication. My fiance moved also during the process and the advice we got was when we called the NVC or Embassy after NOA2 approval to make sure THEY have the correct address as USCIS doesn't mail anything out to the beneficiary (at the stage you are at) and therefore does not need the update. The most important time to change it is when you are interviewing, make sure the Embassy has the change.
    I'm not sure exactly where, but there are several forum questions that answer this if you do a search.
    Good luck!
