Can you add my info? Our AOS was approved without interview, we mailed in I-751 in July 12, it was received July 14, NOA1 date July 18, Biometric August 8. Thanks!

Oh, and our petition is at CSC

You are definitely a "HappyGuy" if you think they would go to that sort of effort!!!

I think what happens after they drop the files on the floor, they throw what fell, and issue a RFE!!!

You know what, that makes perfect sense. Especially when the person getting RFEd sent everything including the kitchen sink. I guess their kitchen sink ended up in somebody else's kitchen in that case.

This is my favorite question to answer because USCIS does it for me:

http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/men...00045f3d6a1RCRD

Follow these guidelines from their site and you will put the officer reviewing your file in a much better mood, hopefully putting a smile on their face while they review it.

I've worked with the government (as one of our customers) for years and can tell you that submitting stuff the way they want to see it definitely helps expedite what you've submitted. I know lots of people on here don't read this guide and don't prepare their package this way and get approved anyway, but it doesn't hurt to give them what they want.

This is wonderful, thank you very much

I seem to remember vaguely that we're supposed to use paper clips to combine related/continuous pages. Is it still how we're supposed to do with I-751?

Thanks!

Thanks!! That's also what I thought, those people on the line could be so confusing and ignorant at the same time. I wouldn't answer this question if I didn't know for sure!

Okay, to my knowledge, you can file I-751 anytime from 90 days before the second anniversary of the greencard. Doesn't that mean as long as we can file anytime within 90 days (could be 60 days, 30 days, as long as not after the card expires)?

I called the immigration office, and was told I have to file it exactly 90 days before the card expires, no more and no less

Please advice.

Hello

My fiance has FNU listed as his first name. His passport has only his last name listed with no first name. We are applying for k-1 visa and he is still under AP for the last 16 months. My question is Will he have a problem obtaining a ss card and driver's license with FNU listed as his first name on his Visa, & passport.

Please advise!

I have called both DMV and SS and both have said that whatever name is listed on Visa will appear on his ss and DMV card. They have not given me this in writing therefore I am doubtful

It won't be a problem. I was listed as a FNU too hehe. I did have to answer a lot of questions about having only one name, but mostly because it's unusual here and they're curious. In our wedding certificate, they put "Legally Omitted" as maiden last name.

My first SS has FNU on it too, but after I got married and have my name changed (yay last name) I was able to get rid of the FNU

btw, FNU is abbreviation of First Name Unknown

My AOS was approved without interview too, and they took my I-94 off when I went to visit my family last year

I was still using old passport with maiden name too, I just got my passport renewed, new name YAY!

Congratulations, we got stuck with an interview but were approved.

Thanks! One quick question, you had to have an interview after recieving the email above from CSC?

Usually no it's an approval without interview

You're free for 2 years

Happy for you :dance:

I was also pretty paranoid because my previous visa application experience was unpleasant. But my experience with K1 was nice and very fast. The interview only took about 5 minutes or less. Just bring in emails, letters, pictures, phone records. My interviewer only asked for some pictures and times of our visits to various places together. There weren't any questions about intents (which are already obvious).

It might be the fastest way for both of you to be together, but you should take into consideration that it also requires you to get married so you have got to be ready for that. Also, it's not the final step you need to do, once you're in and married, you will have to file AOS, and then remove conditions. Too many people rushing it and end up with problems (don't take me wrong, many people have also have things worked out perfectly and are absolutely happy to be together with their beloved ones).

Yes, you still need to mail in the change of address forms

Gratz! Happy for you :dance:

Why don't you just get married in Colombia?

If you go marry in the US, will you stay there to live?

*That's every couple's personal choice, I don't think they would ask that. If they do ask you that, like with everything else, just answer truthfully why you chose to file for a fiance visa instead of getting married and applying for a spouse visa

*The answer to that is...yes I will establish permanent residence in the U.S. That's the point of a fiance visa

"How Does a Fiancé(e) Visa Work?

If you are an American citizen and you want your foreign fiancé(e) to travel to the United States to marry you and live in the U.S., you must file Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) in the United States. "

travel state - fiance visa

Good Luck!

Saludos,

Caro

Gracias Caro..

What about the question """ Are you planning on working in the US?"""

My answer to that would be: As soon as we get married, we will be applying for an employment authorization.

Is this ok??

If you come in with a K-1 visa, of course that means you're getting married in the States, living in the States, working here etc etc. The "are you planning on working in the US?" question is usually given when you're applying for a tourist visa. When it comes to fiance visa, they will be asking you completely different questions.

Before applying for a fiance visa, I had applied for a tourist visa twice, and a student visa once, and got denied. But I didn't have problem at all with K-1 of course, by the time my fiance (now husband) and I applied for the K-1 visa, we'd known each other for 7 years.

Oh, I took an English test for my school but it wasn't called a TOEFL - it was free too!

Yes I'm in the states now. I got here on a tourist visa though, not a K-1 visa. I want to attend school physically. The TOEFL test (Test Of English as a Foreign Language) is a test you need to take when you 1st spoken language isn't English, to apply for college.

You can also take some ESL classes in the same school you're going before you get into degree program, if you do well in your ESL classes, they could let you in without having to take the TOEFL test. Yes, most of the colleges here (usually pretty good ones) require you to take TOEFL test if English isn't your first language (if you're a foreigner, basically)

You also need to get certain score on the test to be accepted (between 500-600)

And last time I checked, it was almost $100 to take a TOEFL test.

That's probably true... And in most cases there's a lot of money to save... I'm thinking FIT in NYC. The TOEFL is not even an issue, I took the test a few months back. hehe:)

I am in a college now, I applied even before we filed for AOS, my fiance visa was sufficient and I wasn't considered as an international student, so normal fee etc etc

I have used my greencard as ID at restaurants/liquor stores

Never have any problem with that.

More like 1 year and 9 months

Need to remove condition 3 months before the expiring date

But yeah, still feels good to be done for that long

My wife is about to appy for Adjustment of Status after arriving on a K-1 visa. On the I-485 form it states that persons who came over on a K-1 and had a medical examination within the past year (which she did), do not need to have the entire medical report/exam done. The only thing that she needs to submit is a VACCINATION SUPPLEMENT (which I have in my possession).

My wife is 8 months pregnant and can't take these vaccinations and will not be able to take them for awhile b/c she will be nursing our child after he is born.

I have an appointment scheduled with the Civil Surgeon in our area to have her exam.

Does anybody know if it is acceptable for the Doctor to simply state on the supplement paperwork that she is pregnant and therefore cannot participate in the immunizations?

Just want to know if anybody knows this from experience.

Did she get her immunization when she had her medical examination? Or was she already pregnant then?

If she did, you could just show the civil surgeon the record she got then. Civil surgeon then will fill the Vaccination Supplement for you based on that record.

Happy for you
