Thanks Maples....

too late now, i guess i'll just wait for the RFE to come in the mail... or when i receive the receipt (NOA) .. will write a letter including the copies of his passport and just ask them to attach it with my file... Hope it will work.

*** Wish, I had just read those guidelines before ***

ARGHHHH !!!!!

I was just going thru some threads and read someone sending the passport copies with the package. Are they needed or It's just an optional?

** I didn't include them***

Congratulations !!!!!

C'mon Delhi.. keep 'em coming !!!!!!

Congratulations !!!!!!!! Im so happy for you both. Soon, she will be here. AND yeah Start cleanin' up the house Warna woh kahegi.... This is not what I came here for????? Just teasing ya

Did they say anything when she will have her visa in hand????

Well everyone who's wives, husbands, fiance, and fiancee having interview at delhi embassy.. I wish you all the best... hopefully everything goes well and they get the visa..... keep us posted.

Well, For K-1 Visa, You don't have to wait for an EAD Authorization. You can just go to a SSA office and apply for a SSN.

I've been seeing alot of confused posts lately where people have been saying you need EAD authorization BEFORE you can attempt to apply for a SSN.

I was under the impression (going by a k-1) you go...get married, apply for SSN, recieve, apply for AOS + EAD/+ AP too.

Or am I getting confused with a social security card and a social security number? Can somebody explain to me please?

They do look delicious.

go to this web site www.tarladalal.com and search for ppl's contibuted recipes.. you will find them all.

Where did you get the picture from? let me know that as well... will try to let you know the names of those... one of them looks like "Baklava" but I could be wrong. anyways good luck in finding recipes

I don't know If this would help or not.

But When I applied for N-400, got the biometric appointment letter for dated August 26th 2005, and I knew I wasn't gonna be in the country. I had called USCIS and I was told to reschedule by writting them a letter and explaning why wouldn't I be able to go. And, then, I called one of the Immigration lawyer and got the same answer..... After getting all negative answers I thot of asking someone who had filed AOS prior to that date and had gotton a biometric appt letter stating to appear there for fingerprints taken. He said I could just go there and have my fingerprints taken. They don't really care when you go as long as you have the appt letter... So, If I were you... I would just go in there and tell them to take your fingerprints....(It woudn't harm you in anyway), If not, make an infopass appointment and try to get a new appt letter.

Hope It helped a bit.

Yodrak,

Thanks for correcting me. I had posted that answer from my past experiences... I was told that this was the only way to have your name changed. But Its good to know there are other ways.

Shalz

Gurdip,

I would stick with the K-1 rather than going for DCF. Because, You are not even sure about the time frame nor whether they will do the DCF for sure.

I even recommended this to my cousin, who did not listen to me, and now He will have to file K-3, which takes longer than K-1.

Now, you will have to make a choice what you wanna do.

Hopefully u make the right choice and everything goes well for you and your fiancee.

Shalz

She will have to wait 'til she applies for N-400 (Naturalization). No other way out.

THEY DID A KIND OF CEREMONY IN INDIA BUT WE WERE NOT PRESENT THERE. MY FIANCEE WAS IN U.S ND MYSELF IS IN LAGOS WHERE IM STILL LIVING. WE HAVE ALL THE SNAPS OF THAT CEREMONY.

CONFUSED ( what kinda ceremony did they do when you two weren't there )

Gurdip,

well, in the past you could but starting June 1, 2006 rules have changed. and also no matter if you are an Indian Born but once you become a US citizen.. indian citizenship is automatically taken from you. The rest you can read at the New Delhi Embassy.

Debby,

I wanna thank you for providing me the doctor's number. I called them today and scheduled an appointment for my husband to get his vaccinations done on this thrusday. and they said they would charge $70. Which is cheaper than the one before. saved $40.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you !!!!!

Shalz

Congratulations !!! You are almost there. Good luck with everything.

I just got an e-mail from Mumbai stating they sent Packet 3 to my fiance on September 6th! Now our fun really begins!

why don't you call them first and ask how much its gonna cost ya !!! cuz some civil surgeon's would just rip-u-off... and i m not joking. I had called few myself..... everyone charges different. The cheapest one i found, would do it in $110.

Good to know that Pras will NOT need a new examination (she had one completed in Dec 2005, and we have an exam appointment for 9/15).

I'm going to print out the page to take with me to the Dr., and then do vaccinations-only.

(dunno exactly how much that will run).

I got the same answer from them...but I was expecting this answer from them, as my fiance, now husband had entered the country on the 2nd of this month. So, It takes them about 10-12 days to input all the information in their systems.....

Yes, they usually say 4-6 weeks just to cover their selves...It normally takes 15-20 business days. One of my family friend had applied for his wife, she got hers in no later than 15 days.

Hi all, my sister went for her husbands SS# today..and they took all info from her and gave her a paper sayng that they will have to verify the info with the USCIS.

and it will take 4-6 weeks..

Is there anything she can do on her part now..go back to SS office and talk to them about how K1 visa holders can get SS# etc..

Please help

Debby,

Did ya'll go to a civil surgeon in Atlanta area, if yes, where exactly?

Bank of America would open an account for anybody without a SSN. work for them

Thank you !!!!

From what I understand, You need to have an Internation Driver's License in order to drive in the US.

If I'm wrong, please correct me !!!!

Question:

If you are a USC and married to a NON-USC and you wish to change your name to his name... Does the USC has to let the USCIS know or not????

I work for the bank also... and i know it is required by the US Patriot Act, we still go ahead and open an account for customers. As long as, they have 2 valid ID's. And also, you don't need to have EAD in order to apply for a SSN.

Well, to me, I think it shud be enuff for them.. cuz when i called my civil surgeon last week .. they said if I already have one... they can just transfer that information on I-693. So, call one of the civil surgeon in your area and find out if they are willing to do that... and plus it shudn't charge u much either.

There are many banks that don't require a SSN in order for you to be added into someone's acct. Who do you bank with, if i may ask??? and if they still ask for it.. tell them you have applied for one and haven't received it and soon you receive it you will have your account updated !!!
