Hi OP: When you received your DS3025 was it marked complete? If it is then no further action needs to be taken for AOS purposes. Hep B is similar to MMR in that it is a multi-dose series and a waiver is given because insufficient time to complete it. As long as you have one shot, you're good as Mallory says there- though if you'd like to finish the series for your own health reasons do so. Attach a copy of the form when filing AOS, as long as you do so sooner rather than later. K1s are not required to redo their medical in the US if their form is complete. If you do not have the required vaccines, are not marked complete, are missing some, or need to obtain them after having the medical or after you are in the US - you will need proof of each one, and will need to see a US civil surgeon to transcribe and recertify. As you can see here in the AOS guide: As for anything else in this thread, AOS is very important to complete as soon as possible after being married. To delay puts the immigrant out of status and subject to deportation. There are certainly reasons some people delay, and you will find plenty of examples as to the consequences. Make sure to file in a reasonable timeframe, and as you can see above you want to do so before your medical results expire. You do not need to carry around your marriage certificate, as that confers absolutely no legal status. Marriage is a state's rights issue, and not a federal domain - where immigration resides and is mostly all that matters. Once you file AOS your NOA1 is your proof, followed by an EAD (if hopefully also filed for).

This is completely inaccurate. I might suggest this may be an excellent case for Jim Hacking and perhaps he could give you the logical confidence in the perfectly reasonable and accurate information that has already been provided here on this forum.

The length of time for a K1 whether it is 15, 30, or 90 days is given, I would assume so that the couple that get affairs in order or even plan a wedding. Still, such visas are not a try before buying visas, as you write a letter of intent swearing to the fact that you WILL marry. That of course doesn't mean that things happen and you don't end up marrying... but it is strange to me that people are not intending to marry that aren't serious or committed to their relationships and hinge it on whether they like winter weather or not. It is a big thing to ask someone to upend their entire lives and move to a different country with them - thoughts of winter weather should be rather irrelevant. For any relationship one should be marrying for love and commitment. Marrying later can create issues for the long term, in regards to getting an SSN and obtaining healthcare, getting a DL/ID, and getting in line for AOS/EAD. Marrying sooner protects the immigrant and enables the process to go smoothly. But I would never recommend marrying or even doing a K1 process, if both parties are not sure to begin with. Immigration is hard. Marriage is hard. The insurance you're referencing and that do exist though I'm not familiar with a said UH plan, is a type of ''temporary immigrant insurance" these are not ACA (Obamacare compliant) and you will find coverage dubious at best. Still, some like the ''peace of mind". What is the actual name/type of plan?

Your passport, DL anything will do. But more specifically, you could go to the DMV and get a US ID. Do you have an SSN yet, or your EAD?

My husband says this is an example of what happens when bad IT guys push half-arsed updates to production instead of taking proper precautions first.

As I stated earlier a K1 is eligible for an SSN as soon as they arrive. You could go today and get one if you'd like and I'd strongly recommend that.

I asked my tech guy, and he says "they don't have adobe acrobat reader do they? that's the likely problem. if not chuck the Mac out the window."😋 You came on a K1 and that means you can obtain an SSN within days after arrival. Unfortunately if it's after the 90 days you'd now have to wait. We usually advise people to get the SSN as soon as possible as it's important for health insurance purposes. We went to the SSA the same day we went to the clerk to apply for a marriage license, about a week or so after he arrived, and then followed up at the bank when the card arrived.

I see BofA put you through the same thing that Chase did to us. We just gave up too. The reps were obnoxious and barely literate on the phone it felt like a giant runaround scam. My husband had a secured card when just starting out and moved to a full card not long after, with excellent credit, he makes a decent living, and in good standing with the local bank I'm glad they were willing to give us a chance at least.

I found it kind of funny earlier this year when we wanted to apply for a new credit card at one of the big companies. My husband has a nearly perfect credit score and never had any trouble before, but after applying the company seemed to have some sort of problem that we couldn't quite figure out, and after a few odd phone calls we felt really uncomfortable proceeding any further because it seemed very discriminatory if not shady. So I called our local bank about applying for a card and came in for an appointment and were approved within a day. These days it seems an excellent score isn't the deciding factor.

Well, how do you plan on obtaining her health insurance? Does she work? Does she plan on working? Does she drive? Where will she live? Do you have the ability to sponsor her with no issues? Is your mother okay with being stuck in the US for potentially quite a long while until documents come through? Where was she living in the UK? I mean does she not have a home and bills to pay? The tax implications? Green cards are for living in the US, so is she comfortable with leaving her home country, family, or friends on a fairly permanent basis?

Insurance generally follows the car and not the driver, but there can be some insurances that limit permissive use clauses and require the driver to be listed on the owner's policy. Call and speak to your insurance provider. https://www.marketwatch.com/guides/insurance-services/does-car-insurance-follow-the-vehicle-or-driver/ https://wallethub.com/answers/ci/does-insurance-follow-the-car-or-the-driver-in-michigan-1000143-2140706080/#:~:text=Car insurance usually follows the,the driver%2C unlike liability coverage. For my state as a new driver in the US, my husband was allowed to use my dad's old vehicle which is under his insurance. We were struck by a driver that was using an insured vehicle, and was using it without the owner's authorization. The owner's insurance paid out damages for the car and for injuries. For regulations involving obtaining a learners permit, it will depend on if your spouse has ever driven in their own country with a license before? In these cases, you can often skip the learning process and move straight to testing. If they have never driven before, then you'd be starting from scratch. Make sure when the 10yr green card is received , or when/if citizenship you return to the DMV to update your status.

If you previously had a 1 or 2 dose series of a vaccine, you are covered. A booster is a seasonal vaccine for your own health. USCIS covers this answer as follows: What I'm saying is if you already had two doses previously, then your vaccination sheet DS3025 should be marked as complete. An additional dose is not necessary for immigration purposes. You'll see above that the USCIS mentions I-693 which is not needed for adjusting K1s that have had their exam abroad that is complete. You will photocopy the DS3025 you received from Knightsbridge and add it to your AOS packet in an effort to show your compliance with the rules. If you were not marked complete, or were missing vaccines, then you would need to go to complete them, see a US civil surgeon, and complete the I-693. Sometimes the USCIS will mess up and require a K1 adjusting applicant to go anyway. You said you received two COVID vaccines previously, so the Knightsbridge doctor should have marked that on the DS3025.

If you had your medical last week, was all the vaccines marked as complete? If you have received everything required, and it is marked as complete, then there is no need to receive anything more for AOS purposes and no further civil surgeon is required. If you wish to receive more vaccines for your own personal health benefit, that's fine. The best way is always to ensure you have all vaccines required either before your UK civil surgeon visit, or during that visit.

Happy to say that we've finally got our trip booked for the UK. Still a high fee and a long layover but it was certainly cheaper than going in September. Unfortunately means he will miss his event, but it is what it is. I will be so happy to see the seaside again.

I think the amount of yelling I did and complaints I filed were sufficient. They are barely literate at that post office We once had cards, letters, and packages from the UK go missing via our post office a year. Eventually we discovered someone in the development had been receiving them and was tired of taking it back to the post office (we'd never receive them anyway) so they walked over and handed us a pile. When we questioned our mail carrier, he stated that he knew that person was British so any item regardless of address he'd just assume it was theirs. We said hey did you ever think there might be multiple British people in one area and maybe you should read the address? 😬 Last week there was a letter addressed to my mom. When I say letter, it literally was a letter, no envelope. It was just the letter contents. Four days later the rest of the contents of the envelope and a separate opened envelope with an audiobook cd (crushed) arrive in a Ziploc baggy with a sticker from the post office apologizing. It is terrifying that the state department wants us to send our most important documents through the mail or even has to handle passports in the first place. I paid extra for his UK passport to be handled by courier just so that our post office would never get their hands on it. It's always a relief to hear that people get their stuff back in one piece!
