Sorry maybe I am just blind, I couldn't find anything in my search that answered that question. Thanks for answering it.

Hi everyone,

So I just got a combo card for my EAD and AP and want to go home as soon as possible, since my grandma is very sick. The problem is that after my marriage my last name changed but my passport still has my maiden name in it, also it has my old K-1 visa and my I-94 from when I first entered the country. The German consulate told me that I should not get a new passport before I don't have my greendcard.

Is it possible for me to book a flight under my maiden name but take my marriage certificate with me to reenter the country? Or is it smarter to get a new passport? I am not sure if I need the I-94 since I already got my APand EAD and are only waiting for the Adjustment paperwork to go through?

Thanks so much in advance!

Thank you all so much for the quick answers, I will try to get an emergency AP. thanks again for all the support on this forum, I have never gotten help anywhere faster than here!

Hi everyone,

I am waiting for my 2nd month now for my green card, work authorization and advanced parole. My grandmother is in the hospital with cancer and the doctors recommended my family to say good bye to her since she won't live very long anymore. I still don't have my advanced parole but I really want to see my grandmother.

What happens if I leave the country without my advanced parole? I am here on a K-1 Visa. Would I have to go through at whole process again if I leave the country before my status is adjusted? Can I get back in the country easily or would I have problems with immigration?

Thanks in advance!

Alright! I will just write unknown and explain it in the explanation sheet! Thanks for all your help! This forum has helped me so much through this process! Thanks a lot!!

Thanks so much for all the replies! So in part 3 they are asking for a certain date when I want to leave the country, should I just leave that part out then?

Hi everyone!

I hope I posted this question in the right section of the forum! I am currently filling out the forms for the AOS after the K-1 visa since I recently got married to my now husband. I was wondering if I need to file the form I-131 for an advanced parole if I don"t intend to travel outside of the US any time soon? Do I need it in general or is it just that I can travel outside of the US if I need to before I have my green card (my info is that when I have the green card I may leave and enter the country whenever I want).

Thanks in advance!

You can sign all documents except DS 156 k, since this one is required to be signed in front of a consular officer. All the other forms you can hand in signed after the receipt of Pack 3.

As far as I remember, you must sign DS 230 and DS 156, saying that you agree and understood the terms and that everything you provided above was correct and the truth. Therefore you can sign all documents. On DS 156 k it also says DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE. Just follow the instructions on each form and you should be fine.

Hope that helps!

Besides the fact that no one really understood what he meant, from a legal point of view I would say you could count a question regarding your sex life as a violation of personal space even..plus I have never ever heard anyone ever mentioning such question in a visa interview, regardless of where they come from..

I would recommend the same thing. We received NOA1 on December 3. What I have been told from friends who went through K1 is that they look at each case and that a lot of it just depends on the evidence you handed in. I had friends that waited longer then 5 month and were able to take actions but before the regular processing period of 3 to 5 month there is nothing you can't do, I am afraid.

Hope you get NOA 2 soon!

Hey there,

I am not sure about your first question; my fiance and I have the same problem and a friend who did the K1 process a couple of years ago recommended to find a Co-Sponsor, so I recommend you to do just the same but maybe someone else has a different experience with that?

About your second question, as far as I am concerned, I think you have to include both girls, as she is still dependend on you.

I hope this helped a little.

Best regards

Thank you Lady Bug! I wasnt quite sure wether it said a time in Pack 4 or just a date but I assumed it would be a certain time. I will arrive by train (I currently live in Munich) so it is about a 3 hour ride and I would rather be there early and not miss my appointment. I think trains depart every two hours so it is great to know already that I should be there at least 1 1/2 hours early!

Okay great. So I got my appointment at 8 am now. I thought they only open at 7! I am so afraid now that I will miss it. I am thinking about calling them and asking when I should be there at the latest. I am super afraid now that I will mess things up

Well, an hour earlier sounds good. Maybe even 1 1/2 hours earlier. You have to go through security and there will be probably a lot of people waiting in line. Not to mention traffic, depends on where you live. I can't really tell though, because I haven't been to an interview at the Frankfurt consulate. Anyways, you don't wanna miss your appointment. So better be safe than sorry.

Hey everyone,

I was wondering how long before my actual appointment I should arrive at the embassy in Frankfurt, Germany. A friend told me that if, for example, I had my appointment at 9 am, I should not arrive past 8 am at the consulate and I would be too late for my appointment. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how long before their appointment they arrived at the embassy in Frankfurt.

Thanks in advance!

#3, that is the information of the beneficiary. The person they are filling out the form for and stating they will sponsor.

#11, you could both follow what is on the example form: http://www.visajourney.com/examples/Form-I-134.pdf

Thank you very much! That was very helpful!

Hey there everyone!

I was looking for an answer to my question on the forum but couldnt find anything I was looking for.

I am currently waiting for my visa appointment to be issued. Yesterday I received the information that our Co-Sponsor's (my fiance's sister) paperwork finally arrived with my fiance.

The problem now is that she did not fill everything out completely cause she was not sure with two questions. Could any of you that had experience with a Co-Sponsor help please?

#3 This affidiavit is executed on behalf of the following person

She has to state my information and not my fiance's information right? Cause the affidavit is executed on my behalf and not on my fiance's?

# 11 The check boxes: I intend or I do not intend to make specific contributions to the support of the person named in item 3.

She now checked I do not intend. Was that right? My fiance of course checked I intend and we assumed that she would have to check the same one.

I really would appreciate your help as I dont want this to be the reason my K-1 Visa wont be approved!

Thanks in advance!
