you know section 9 B and section 10B on the SS-5 form......do i really tick unknown?....it seems a bit odd.

instructions seem to say so though

9.B., 10.B. If you are applying for an original Social Security card for a child under age 18, you MUST
show the parents' Social Security numbers unless the parent was never assigned a Social Security
number. If the number is not known and you cannot obtain it, check the “unknown” box.

it has the exact same amount of boxes as a national insurance number....but i don't suppose i put both parents national security numbers into these boxes?

Good luck for you again. I live in Texas and know the marriage rules.

So did you get the license while you went the first time or just bring the application home? Anyway, as explained to me at the county clerk's office--if you have a Social Security number, then you must give it on the form. If you don't have a SSN, then not required. Both people present photo ID. You can get a marriage license with only your passport. She can use a TX driver license or her passport.

You must have the license 36 hours before the wedding. If you don't have it yet, then hurry up.

After the wedding, get the minister or officiant to sign the license and give it back to you. Most offer to mail it in. You take care of it yourselves. Go in person back to the county clerks office to turn it in. Tell them you will wait while they record it and prepare your marriage certificate. Ask for a certified copy. That is what you will photocopy for your immigration forms. It will have a stamp or seal from the county on it.

Get your social security number as soon as you can. It is not needed to marry or file for your greencard, but is useful to have. If you wait too long, they won't give you one until you have your work authorization card or greencard.

Thank you...that puts the anxiety down somewhat.....yes heres wgat happened: we went in to the license building and for some reason after dealing with two people and paying for it....we then left....without a certificate........they then phoned the house who then phoned the van that was coming to pick us up....and then we had to go back in through security a second time.....and then emerged a second time with a license certificate.....i dont think our heads are fully screwed on. EDIT: seem to have typed that in the last message.

Although to be fair we both left the building believing it was time to leave and with the best possibly intentions.

but.....moving on

thank you....yep not long now!

Well we make a good team because I was a teacher and spent 3 years working with only slow learners and learning disabilities. I can tell you are sincere, gracious, and in need of help is why I do this for you.

you remind me very much of one of my dads friends who just keeps on surprising us and who is a really amazing person.

i'm in TX now .....T Minus 6 days on wedding..........but am a bit concerned about something thats happened....my father in law (well soon to be father in law) seemed to drive us to the marrige licencing place very shortly after i arrived.....now on the instructions that i'm looking at today.....well firstly on the forms we filled in at the marrige and licencing building they asked for both mine and hers SS numbers....but i at this point did not have one (still dont but have about 97% of the form filled in).....and on your instructions it says the very first thing i'm meant to do is get a SS number......i was actually doing that right away at 7am today.......we;re actually both learning difficulties....... and i dont think our heads are quite screwed on at the moment....or ever......but yep, i'm quite concerned that maybe that form needed that number....however we did ask a woman and she said it wasn;t important....but of course i'm not really happy with her answer in retrospect...well i wasn;t happy at the time iether......for some reason.

i feel really bad about this actually.

is it a major mistake or....

This is very, very good :) it really is understandable.

Thank you for this. It does now appear that in school reports (found some) there is evidence that teachers....and definitely a majority of teachers..... wrote about how i was slow and struggled....but anyway.

.....but thank you for your help and i hope all is ok over there with you today.

It even tells you on the guide, with a box around it that you will not get one by filling out that DS-230, Part 2.

I read that part with the box many, many times before i made my post.....the post also took a long time to write.

i thought a lot about posting this and didn't know to do so or not....but i think communication is important. i have some problems in understanding a lot of....well, everything. There are so many things on all of these forms I don't understand even when its explained to me....which is, frustrating for everybody around me.

Thank you LeftCoastLady and Nich-Nick.

I had to back away for a bit there because I became very, very ill....i spose just too many things going on at once.

I'm now back onto it..... but as per usual have ten million questions.

thank you...sorry about delay on reply here

We had a serious and scary family medical emergency (my father) and i'm now very, very exhausted.

the passport arrived yesterday with the do not open package.........i'm still really confused on what happens next.

i don't understand the deadlines.....i know that once i enter USA i have 90 days to marry.....but what is my deadline on the AOS?.....i have always believed it to be 90 days ......and that it should be done and sent away in the post ASAP right after getting married....but is that incorrect?.....my dad is telling me that there is no deadline on AOS. I don't honestly believe it...but i'm not sure what to believe.

I've heard lawyers on youtube talking about K1 and saying that if you rush it looks bad...and if you take too long it looks bad.....

at the moment we have made a plan (last night) to enter on the 13th of June and get married on the 22nd of June......but i don't know if that is a good idea or not.We had no plan at all with dates until last night....there was no wedding date set until last...

the visa itself page inside the passport itself looks like the page that show people at airports....when i start my journey do i make sure that i show everybody at every airport start to finish the visa or just the port of entry airport?...

Thank you....you are and continue to be a incredible and life saving help in all of this.

should i chase up why NVC didn't send out a letter to the Petitioner...or is that something that no longer happens?......I've read that the Petitioner is meant to get a letter when the case is sent from NVC to the London US Embassy....but she did not receive anything.

Thanks...yep we've got that in USA...i reckon i need to get the petitioner to put it into a firebox.

I'm back from London......K1 Visa was approved.

i'm going onto AOS things now.

USA Petitioner has a I-797 Notice of Action (original) ...

....but....it does not say if it is 1 or 2.

I have 4 USA sized photos now.

plenty of years on the passport.

I think two piles of emails is excessive, but suit yourself. I would bet money that they don't want to see anything like that.

That NOA 2 is very, very important for your AOS. Don't lose it. It is not needed for the interview. Again, not on the list.

I don't understand what the NOA 2 is....I have a NOA 1........ but not a NOA 2.

well each pile has about....one one pile has about 11 emails and the other maybe 6.

just very quickly cause its a bit late....but am not gone....but am preparing / printing lots of emails.....yes... petitioners father has done a letter saying that we are still engaged and still want to marry....but its not notorised...dont know if thats a problem or not.....it also says in it that hes still willing to be a sponsor.....its a bit out of date though no?.....with it being dated April 21st ?....hmmmm...not sure....not sure if that is too old or not but will take it along anyway.

but yes been working away on it hard....i definitely wasn't finished and your post when i read "99/100 times they will not look at this. Since your petition is expired and you got off-track, they may actually want to see some of this." got me busy printing emails....i have two piles of them...one labeled April and one May..

birth certificate is long version not short version.
need to get US sized passport photos.

thanks.

Yes and yes....i did that a while back.

Yes i think i have everything. Many thanks for everything you and the people have done on here. it is actually quite a wonderful place.

Thank you Nich Nick....this is very clearly presented what you have posted in here....many thanks!...........yep the receipt is now printed....but was printed in Black and White....but i would imagine that doesn't matter?...though colour is nice....hmmm......but, do i have to do a copy of it and get them to give the original ink signature back to me?

Hi Nich Nick......thanks..........wow.....you see the USC never got a letter from NVC either.

What is your question exactly? They will extend the validity of your petition approval, so that is not a problem.

thank you

my question is mainly about concern and worry that it has all gone wrong.

Yes, you'll need to bring a copy of the MRV receipt with you to the interview. Who paid the visa fee -- you or the USC? The receipt would have been emailed with a PDF attached. You (the visa applicant) would need to print and sign it.

just found it now.....after i read what you said it took me a while but i suddenly remembered that they did indeed send me two emails.......and one does indeed have a pdf attachment ....wow, I cannot believe I have not printed this out until now......it was in a 14 minute video that i watched on youtube about preparing for the interview that they said about the receipt that i watched a lot about a week ago..... ...but i didn't understand what they meant exactly...you are a life saver!....if i had gone there without this what would have happened do you reckon?.....thank you.

Do they care about a receipt of the payment of the interview?....because I don't have one of those....however, it's written on a bank statement that ive printed out and will be taking.
