I will tell her..thank you

No need to worry about the expiration, the embassy automatic extend it until you get the appointment for interview. .it took almost 2 months before they complete the transfer..6 week to 8 weeks..but mine just 6 weeks...in abu dhabi its always 2 months gap before the interview. .review your consulate on how they are giving the appointment.

Thank you!God Bless Us ☺️

did you change your last name already?of course you can get your ss updated from maiden to married name..i did change already my ss from maiden to my married name,without any issue..All you need to do is to change your last name,we just show our marriage certificate and they did change it..

Yes you need both..ds160 fill it online..while ds156 need to print then fill it up..goodluck

Yes of course,as long as you have resident permit in another country you can process your visa there,just put on the second page of 129f your fiancee present address.i am filipino citizen,i processed and got the approval in abu dhabi united arab emirates,because i worked in Dubai and i am resident there.goodluck

I'm sure that they did not make the interview. .only resident is allowed to process the paper here in UAE.

Email nvc and ask for the update, write petitioner name and birthday
Beneficiary name and birthday
Send email along with your noa2 hard copy?
It takes for them couple of weeks before they can give you answer that's why it's better to send them email and at the same time call them...goodluck to us?

When you get your noa2 it's written there how you going to change the consulate..if you wish to change it..so I will suggest to wait your noa2..and its base also the address you put in the 2nd page of your 129f application.. I've been in that situation that's why I remembered everything regarding how to change the consulate. .goodluck

Hi everyone,
I thought I would share my experience to others so that it will hopefully help you guys as well. I know that the k1 process is stressful and getting the visa is a true victory. Sadly though, the stress will not end there because after POE there is another journey, but it will be better because you get to experience it with your loved one. I know a lot of people here have already successfully accomplished AOS so feel free to chime in and comment as well.
First and foremost, read up on the following:
VJ Link to AOS for k1/k2
Vanessa and Tony's guide
Here is what I did from POE onwards..
1. POE
Don’t forget to bring the brown envelope from the embassy and hand it to the immigration officer, together with your i-94. Make sure all details on the i-94 are written legibly and correctly. Also, do not leave the airport without checking if all the details on your i-94 is correct (Your name, alien number, date of stamp etc) and DO NOT LOSE YOUR I-94.
2. GET A MARRIAGE LICENSE
Check your state laws for the requirements to get married.. Go to your local town clerk to get the license. Some may need a SSN, some won't. So you can interchange #2 and #3.
3. GET A SSN
K1 visa holders are allowed to get a SSN as long as they still have a valid i-94. It is recommended to go 10-14 days upon entry so that by then you should already be registered in the database. Now I have been told that there are some SSA who are clueless about k1 visa holders and refuse to give them the SSN until you have your green card. This is FALSE, and if this happens, ask for higher management and demand for it, because you are entitled to one.
Things to bring: Passport, I-94, NSO Birth Cert, SSN Form (you can get one there). If you go when you are already married, bring your MC.
Proof that k1 can apply for SSN
SSN Form
It should arrive in 1-2 weeks.
4. FIND A CIVIL SURGEON
Only if your DS-3025 is marked “incomplete” is a I-693 required to be completed. If it is marked as such (incomplete) you are required to complete certain portions of the I-693 and have a Civil Surgeon certify the form (and seal it in an evelope). Specifically, you will complete Part 1 (Information about you) of the I-693 and provide both the form and your DS-3025 (if you have it, proving your vaccination history) and any proof of required vaccinations that were completed prior to entering the US. If you do not have a copy of your DS-3025 you will need to provide sufficient evidence of your vaccination history to the Civil Surgeon (talk to the civil surgeon’s office to discuss what vaccination records they accept as proof). If you do not have proof of your vaccination history the Civil Surgeon may insist on re-administering all the required vaccinations prior to completing the I-693. Once the Civil Surgeon has has verified that all required vaccinations have been performed, they will complete form I-693 Part 2 (the vaccination section) and Part 5 (the Civil Surgeon’s Certification). They will then seal the form in an envelope and return it to you.
So this part is a little confusing because I have all the complete age-appropriate vaccines, and yet some people claim to have gotten RFEs for not having their I-693 transcribed so we decided that were gonna do it anyway to avoid any complications The trick here is to call around and find a civil surgeon who will not require you to do another medical, because your medical exam should still be valid for a whole year!
5. GET MARRIED AND GET THE (certified) MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE
The marriage certificate is important for AOS, so make sure you grab copies of it!
FILING FOR AOS:

File at:
USCIS
P.O. Box 805887

For courier/express delivery:
USCIS
Attn: FBAS
131 South Dearborn – 3rd Floor

PAYMENT
Personal checks must be pre-printed with the name of the bank and the account holder. Also, the account holder’s address and phone number must be pre-printed, typed or written in ink on the check. All checks must be typed or written in ink.
1. Write the date you are filling out the check including: day, month and year.
2. On the “Pay to the Order of” line write: “U.S. Department of Homeland Security.”
3. Write in numbers the exact dollar amount of the fee for the service you are requesting. In the example, the amount is “$595.00.”
4. Spell out the exact dollar amount of the fee for the service you are requesting. The “cents” portion of the amount should be written as a fraction over 100. In this example, the amount is “Five hundred ninety-five and 00/100.”
5. Write a brief description of the purpose of your payment. In this example, it is “N-400 application fee.”
6. Sign the check using your legal signature.
IMPORTANT!
Make TWO copies of the entire package before you send it in. This includes the money orders too. You want to have a perfect replica of the package you are sending in. All Forms that you submit must be originals with original signatures. Supporting Evidence that you submit may be photocopies. Retain ALL original supporting Evidence since the USCIS has the right to check them by issuing an RFE (Request For Evidence). If you receive an RFE, follow the direction exactly, and make two copies of what you sent back. During any future interviews the USCIS may also want to examine the original supporting evidence.
Once you send it in, here is what to expect.
You will receive a NOA1 for all 3 applications, followed by a biometrics appointment. After that you either get an interview date or you get transferred to CSC and you'll be approved with no interview. But don't worry, I heard that the interview is not hard at all, so don't feel bad if you get one!
That's all, hope this helps my fellow kababayans and goodluck! Here's to hoping you have a happy life in the US, and have a smooth and RFE-free AOS journey!

What I suggest as a filipina also..if you already found someone to be your lifetime partner, maybe it's time for you to forget and forgive the father of your son,move on, I dont know what might happen but for sure even your present relationship will suffer.just raise your son without any anger from his father..just my point of view, but you are the one who can still decide what to do.GOD bless

One more question..since it's very hard to know if I have mail in our box or not.how they will gonna contact me just to say that they mailed already the packet? So I can check in our box.thanks once again

Thank you for all the comment guys..yeah the feeling is indescribable. .now we are waiting for the mail or email of the consulate where I'm residing now hope everything will go smoothly..?
