my fiance got her k1 visa and arrived to States 2 weeks ago. the thai embassy has all of her medical examination records and other k1 stuff that i sent her prior to her k1 interview. what should i do to obtain those records? do i need to contact the UCIS here?

Skyman,

i'm at almost the same level of the processing the AOS as you. congrats on the wedding ceremony. here is the link for the necessary forms and step by step guide to the AOS process. good luck for both of us and keep this thread going! because i'm sure i will ask a whole lot of questions in here. better safe than sorry!

Anya,

congrats and goodluck!! for me i'm still debating if we should put my fiance's maiden name or my last name on her SS card. i think it will be easier after we get married to put her new last name on everything huh?

Thanks for your suggestions and replies Anya and Ty!! we are planning to just head to the JP and get married to get the marriage license to file the AOS and to get her SSN and card. i didn't know there was gonna be more headache after the K1 visa. i thought applying for her AOS (green card) will be much easier than the K1 visa but it's not!! it requires that i have to submit 1 yr of my deposited transactions of my bank account, 3 yrs of my tax ( what if i have only 2 yrs??) i was told to keep only 1 year of your tax documents. but luckily i kept 2 yrs. i hope that's fine. and i don't know if i am qualify to sponsor her because i went back to school and only work 4 days a week. i'm not embarrass to say that i make before tax rougly 20k-25k. hope that's enough for filing for her green card!!

I forgot to mention that my thai girl's nickname is Kwan but her real name is Punnarai. but the INS mispelled her name, so her passport and everything says her name is Phannarai. when i applied for the K1 visa for her i kept the name Phannarai instead of her real name Punnarai because i didn't want the confusion and scared of any delays. she would have to go to Khon Kaen to correct her name, but she didn't have time. my question is should i still use her incorrect name Phannarai? or use her nickname Kwan on Marriage Certificate, SSN card, driver's license (whenever she gets it), and on other things like insurance card? please help!!

Hi All,

i'm a newbie here and would like to get to know all. i'm from texas and my thai gf is here on a K1 visa. planning on getting married soon. but don't want to procrastinate until the final month of the 90days deadline. planning on just driving to the court house and get married then have a big thai wedding next year. how inexpensive is a thai wedding of about 100 guests in Thailand?? after getting married at the court house, how soon will i recieve the marriage license? and can i go straight to the SSN and get my girl a SSN card? can she work after she get her green card? or do i have to file the I-765 application for employment, dont' want to spend money on the application if i dont' have to. sorry if my thread is lengthy.
