What numbers are you talking about and why do they matter? The vast majority of the world thought the world was flat and they were wrong. The vast majority of the world thought the universe revolved around the earth and they were wrong. I am not impressed by numbers in your favor. Danno, just because you think an eye is too complex for evolution alone doesn't make you right. The bottom line is you want an answer. You want a reason. I'm ok with there not being one. I'm not going to go to church just in case. That's rediculous. I might also add that in my experience, a large number of people in your camp are there because they inherited the belief, married it, use it for social purposes, or take the just in case belef. I am also not impressed by those making up this part of your numbers. Believe what you want.

Fingers crossed, although I'm more interested in receiving the EAD as soon as possible and start looking for a job!

Hello everyone!
I arrived in the US two and a half weeks ago and we got married 3 days ago. I was wondering if I can go apply for my SSN.
We haven't done any official name change yet and our lawyers just started working on the AOS papers and they probably won't send them off for another 2-3 weeks.
Can I go apply for the SSN? Does it matter that I'm going to apply after I got married? The process seems easy but I'm a bit confused.

It is 5x5 cm and you can usually tell them you need US size passport photos,especially if getting them done in Juarez near the consulate, and they should know to do them 5x5.

^ Best idea. The professor just says in a signed statement at the bottom-- I certify (which means promise/assure) that I am fluent in Greek and English and I did this correctly. But use the official words right off the USCIS site JK gave you.

You do not need to find someone to pay for an 'official' translation. Anyone fluent in both languages, including the intending immigrant themselves, can do the certified translation. http://www.visajourn...nt/translations

No, not a lunatic, more like someone who is letting emotions cloud judgement. Of course there is no way to know his faithfulness without someone watching him, but there should be signs. Does he welcome surprise visits? Does he openly talk on the phone to you anytime, or does he only call or answer at specific times? I am a private investigator in California. To be honest, I wouldn't even know who to suggest you trust in any 3rd world countries. I will share this with you. In most any 3rd world nation, be very very cautions of who you trust. Their culture as well as their laws and their enforcement efforts leave clients vulnerable to many many scams. I was personally sent to Kiev to conduct an investigation for an American company because it was impossible to find someone either my client or I felt comfortable with in the area. I'm sure there are some honest ones there, but they are very few I would be comfortable with. The client and I both felt it was a savvy business move to invest a couple grand in my airfare and hotel room then to risk thousands and thousands of dollars on someone who may just take the money and vanish. Also in this case, comprehension of the English language was paramount as well and being an educated American, it was more efficient for me to create the report from scratch, rather than spend hours interpreting their writting into something we could use.
Conseqently, as experienced as I am with scams, I think I got scammed myself. While in Kiev, I hired and like a story, fell in love with my interpreter. She was a pretty little professional lady who told me she was divorcee and the rest was history. As soon as she got her greencard here, she vanished and refused any communcation with me. A few months later, after her room mates husband tried to rape her, she called me telling me she needs to come back now. I ended up in the hospital for a day and unable to return her call and now she refuses any communication with me again. I guess it will be interesting when she wants her conditions removed from her GC. What will she tell immgrationg when we have seperate addresses, seperate tax returns and I couldn't tell you what side of the bed she sleeps on since we havn't shared one since October of 2012.
My point is this, be careful, Ukraine is probably not as bad as jamaica or the DR or whatever other carribean nation you are refering too. My experience should have kept me from being used, but it didn't. I suspect you are not in the investigative business, otherwise you would not be talking about finding a PI on this site. We all lose some degree of judgement when our heart softens to someone. We live in a protected society and dont openly accept scamming as a way of life. Outside of America and our similar nations (UK, Germany etc), Life is not so protected and the thought of lying to get what you want is not as surprising as we think it is here. Americans are scammed quit often because we still think most people our honest, and in the US that is still true, but in a nation where basic essentials are in short supply, it's not the same.
If I can give you some more insight feel free to reply or email me. I am not sure how that works on here, but lets see.

It's your turn very soon, dear sushi-lover friend.

Congratulations !!!

Congrats!!! :dance:

..how lucky you are congratulations!!!

Congratz! February is really the Visa Issuance Month!

CONGRATS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Starting a new thread and leaving out the important facts that 1) you are a resident of Texas and 2) first cousin marriages are illegal in Texas will not get you the correct answer. It will get you the wrong answer like above because you left out important facts that are not favorable to your situation. Ignoring these unfavorable facts do not make them go away.
If you want a good answer, keep all posts about your situation in one thread where you include all the important facts.

Understand that USCIS will based its decision based on the marriage laws where you live. That's Texas. It's not Florida.

First of all it's sight and not site. Two totally different things. And it is my right to tell you that your views about God and Jesus have no place in this particular post or forum for that matter.
There is another forum Politics and Religion. Please go and rant there.

Forgive me if I seemed abrasive. Maybe you all need to get on these K1 filers! Start sending them PM's. I know nothing about that process. But I do know the embassy is extremely helpful in Greece. For the Greek citizens it will be a breath of fresh air too, as compared to what they're used to dealing with, in regards to Greek gov't.

I searched that because I'm concerned too. Since 2008 I thin HPV is NOT a reason for denial and the vaccination is not necessary. I'm 30 and I didn't make the vaccination.
My German VJ friend told me when I asked her, that they don't test for HPV . Also the pill is not a reason for denial too.

I agree. I will definitely be bringing a more updated form, just in case. Thanks.

A caps lock key.

First of all... Congrats on the NOA2, Jane. Your Timeline was pretty accurate, wasn't it?
What you intend to do, can be easily done. All you would have to do is make sure you keep good communication with the Embassy and let them know that you will not be presenting packet 3 until January; but you need to be prepared for it.
You said you have a lawyer. Your lawyer should know this and be the liaison with the Embassy. If for some reason, your lawyer won't do it, it's quite alright; but you will have to make sure you have a way to contact them Embassy and keeping them up to date with your actions.
EDIT: Or as the previous poster said, you can complete Packet 3 and make sure they schedule the interview far out. The other option I was giving you was based on how one girl from Argentina did it last year. She came to spend the Holidays with her fiance and presented Packet 3 when she came back to Argentina in January. She had her interview in February 2012 and was on her way soon after.

**corrected for accuracy

Ohhhh so glad to hear that you got the approval! Congratulations you guys! I hope everything will go smoothly for the next stage.
Keep coming July filers!

CONGRATS you guys!!!

Congratulations. Hoping ours is not far away

Congrats!
