hi guys,

I cannot tell everyone congrats in their own thread, as time is running short but I wanted to let y'all know that I'm very happy for you and CONGRATS

the alien has to inform USCIS of any move until citizenship is aquired. after you received your greencard, I don't think the petitioner has to inform them of change of address.

Alien should use form AR11 to report change of address. Also, call USCIS and tell them about the mistake they made with your name and such.

I got thjis checklist for my K3 visa and had to return it in order to be scheduled an interview date.

for my cr1, I did not receive it and I don't think it's needed

no negative effects. The medical won't have x-rays, that's about all that changes.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

don't worry. You have the right to come first sometimes too.

Everyone has felt this way at least once during this journey.

Hang in there, it'll get better again

congratz on your approved AP. I hate that one can't tell why they touched you. I sure hope it's approval for EAD!! About time!!

Edited for stupidity reasons.

I just hope the rest of you folks will be as lucky. In the past couple weeks, there have been numerous cases waiting forever, so I thought I'd share the good news, that not everyone has to wait so long.

I went to the SSA in Tulsa, I don't know if they verify electronically. They did say it would be 4 weeks though.

Good luck everyone!!

Hi, just wanted to throw in a general advice. You might not want to address specific people. You get more help by leaving it to anyone and sometimes people don't like to be asked for help specifically on a thread. They will answer you if they have an answer for you.

Now to your question: if your income exceeds and has exceeded the poverty guidelines, you will most likely not need a co-sponsor. However, it is in the consular's hand to request one if he/she feels this is necessary. Also depending on the consulate, if you need tax returns. I didn't need one, just had to turn in employment letter and bank statement, but other consulates or embassies require the returns.

As far as I know you won't need a new G325A if you updated your address with USCIS. They will change it in their system.

For K3 you will need I134, for CR1 I864.

Good luck

yes, I applied with EAD, K3, didn't file for AOS.

Sorry if that led to confusion, thought my info made that clear.

Hi,

looks like not all K3ers have to wait an infinite time to receive their Social.

I just called and they said they issued a number, I can expect the card within 10 days.

I applied on May 24th.

Good luck to every one else waiting

Hi

I moved recently and sent an AR11 for change of address a while ago.

How do I know they got it? Calling them is kinda worthless, as I couldn't seem to get outta the automated system which was really confusing anyways.

So, how do I know they got my new address?

same here, had that message about 3 times, even after they had received DS 230 again (after message had changed to " we have received your checklist letter response on..."

Nothing to worry,if the operator says all is good. There seems to be two places at NVC and they don't always communicate well.

You will get DS 230 soon, or a checklist letter. Answer to it and you'll have case complete real soon.

they are supposed to keep your stuff. You will have to give it to them or contact Chicago to send it there. I think most people this happened to have gone back to the airport to give them the pkt.

But if you live far away, that might not be an option.

Contact USCIS and ask what to do, or contact the airport that was your POE

Salwa,

as hard as it may be, try to stay positive because if you come to the embassy all freaked and scared,they will think something is wrong.

If you have proof of a bona fide marriage, you will get through. Even if they put you on AR, which of course I hope they will not, you will make it. Because you are married for love, not for the visa. It will be okay, sweetie!

We are all worried before the interview, it is normal and okay to be. But don't let it rule your life.

I know you miss your hubbie, but just think that it'll all be over and nothing can part you after all this process is over.

I wish you good luck, and I cross my fingers for you.

Get some sleep and try to get your mind off of it.

You'll be fine, I believe in it!

*hugs*

Angelika

you can call USCIS as far as I know to change your address. But he should also fill out form AR-11 and send it as he is the alien.

Good luck

since you don't want me to say you need a co-sponsor, I cannot give you any answer at all. Because there is no way around it unless you have banging assets.

Sorry!!!

I'm moving, not from state to state or anywhere but it is a complete move and it sucks.

Hubbie is at work every day including the weekend and I'm stuck with all the work. I have been renovating the new house (dad-in-law bought it and I was in charge of the extreme makeover from cat-lady hole to mansion ) and now doing the move and I can't seem to get any help from anyone.

I'm getting frustrated, at least I don't have to lift the heavy furniture, Hubbie's friends are doing that (I guess, with them you never know)

Why does Hubbie so much #######? (Want huge trashbag the size of apartment!)

Sorry for the rant, but moving just sux!

Soweit ich weiß, kannst du, da du ja legal in die Staaten eingereist bist und dich auch legal dort aufhältst, einfach AOS (Adjustment of status) beantragen. Bin mir nicht sicher, ob du deinen Status als Praktikums-Visums-Inhaber behalten musst bis zu einem gewissen Zeitpunkt oder nicht. Denn dein Aufenthalt basiert ja auf dem Visum, und wenn du kündigst, könnte dein Status sich ändern und du könntest nicht mehr legal sein, was dann auch das AOS ausschließt. Also nochmal ganz sicher gehen, was du da genau machen musst.

Viel Glück und Herzlichen Glückwunsch zur Verlobung.

P.S. : Evtl solltest du das ganze nochmal auf englisch in einem der anderen Foren posten, viele Leute haben hier nen Plan, können aber kein Deutsch. Da kriegst du sicher mehr Antworten. Evtl im Adjustment of Status Forum.

where is that question? I can't find it on the form

will let ya know once I get a job but am afraid they won't honor my degree here. Glad I speak some lingos, that might help me out even if they don't accept my degree....

Krankenversicherung ist echt das letzte hier in USA. Erstens mal Arschteuer und dann hat man noch ne Riesen-Deductible, die man erst mal selbst zahlen muss, bevor die Versicherung die Rechnungen übernimmt.

Es lebe das deutsche Sozialwesen!!

@Nina, leider kann ich dir nicht helfen, da wir in Germany geheiratet haben aber du solltest auf jeden Fall deine internationale Geburtsurkunde und so haben und auch alles, was du für AOS brauchst, also nochmal poliz. Führungszeugnis + Übersetzung.

that's good news. I hope everyone who got told it'll be 4 weeks because they need to verify documents will receive their SSNs just as quickly!!

So sorry to hear your hubbie lost the job because of this cr*p

It really doesn't make any sense. You have to wait for EAD to get SSN and even then they need to check all your documents and whatever.

Stupid system!!!

woohoo, you are almost complete now. SSN will follow shortly I am sure!!

CHOCOLATE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
