    Hi. I have a question. We got the approval notice of the EAD in the mail today. We are just confused about some verbiage in it. It says that if you have a pending I-485 which we do, "you may request to change employers if your form I-485 has been pending for at least 180 days. In order to do so you need to submit documentation about your new job offer." 

     

    So does this mean my husband can now get a job, but if he loses it, he a) cannot get another job because our I-485 has not been pending for that long and we're screwed and b) if it has been 180 days, can't simply change employers and start to work at the new job?

    Hi there,

     

    Did you expedite your husbands EAD? Just curious as we have a really similar timeline :D

    AOS Paperwork process

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    Spouses of US citizens are considered 'Immediate Relatives and you will be given a visa number immediately (if approved). Part 2a is the correct category I believe. 

     

    I originally came to the USA on an exchange program where I met my partner, we were going to do an AOS but I wanted to head back to Australia, spend a bit more time with my family and I only had 12 weeks of University left so we ended up doing K1.

     

    Im sure one of the Admin or moderators will pop this in a specific AOS forum for you :-)

    Hi,

     

    You can check this link http://www.visajourney.com/content/k1k3aos . I followed the instructions to submit my AOS.

     

    My paper arrangement in sequence was paycheck, cover letter ,

    1. ) I-485 ( attached with copy of passport  and K1-visa, photo copy of approval of I-129F, I-94 which you can access online, Birth Certificate and marriage certificate )

    2.) G-325A form  ( with 2x2 passport photos , Attach the bag to a sheet of paper and place behind the G-325a.)

    3.) I-693 Medical examination ( referring to medical examination results before packet 4 received during preparation of visa )

    4.) I-864 form affidavit of support (petitioner of K1-visa) ( attached with Income tax return - 3 years )

    5.) I-765 form (EAD) and 2 x 2 pictures

     

    I did not fill up the I-131, because am not going to travel outside the US. Right now am just waiting for the interview schedule date from them. Oh , when I get my SSN the name they used is before I get married even though I got marriage certificate. Well , I can change it once I got my GC.

     

    Hope it helps , Good luck :)

    Save yourself lots of trouble! Any domestic flight out of the US without AP automatically leads to the abortion of your AOS. You must have your AP to leave the country. Leaving and have someone mail you the AP out will get you in trouble with USCIS when you come back. 

     

    To all -> don't make domestic travel plans if you don't have your AP or Green Card in your hand. Don't stress yourself too much.

     

    Hope you all had a great easter weekend!

    Tourist Visa for parents

    in Tourist Visas

    Posted · Edited by T_McCann

    Hi there,

     

    when it comes to Tourist Visa there is no real thing as 'sponsorship'...

     

    Your parents would have to show ties to their home country. If it helps, the consular officer wants to see what they have in their home country to return to. If you send your pay stubs, the consular officer may see it as your parents going to the USA on a tourist visa and never returning home (which may end up in a denial).

     

    check with some of the local forums specific to your country for some better answers :) and good luck !!

    US Visa Medical - Dr Charles Ogralik

    Hi KirstyD,

    You are welcome for the Info.

    The doctor asked If I had my baby book (That yellow book and all it had in mine was 2 injections, so it wasn't helpful), I talked to my local GP about the US Medical about 4 months ago when I received NOA1, he took some blood and did what they call a serology test, this just determines which vaccinations you have had, he also took blood to check kidney, liver and all that as well as urine. I went to Dr Charles Ogralik with a pretty nice file from my local GP.

    Charles is great, If you don't have any medical records on you, don't stress at all.

    US Visa Medical - Dr Charles Ogralik

    Hi Guys,

    I had my Visa Medical today in Melbourne, just thought I would share it with you...

    I head to reception to check in and she asks for the passport photos. I then take a seat. (It was a really busy morning). I'm called in by the nurse who is really polite and friendly. She takes my height, BP and weight. We have a bit of a chat and then she does an eye test (You basically stand at a distance and read the letters of an eye chart).

    The nurse directs me to a Doctors office and says Charles won't be too long. Dr Ogralik comes in and introduces himself. He is very formal and straight to the point, but not in a nasty way. He does a passport check and asks a few questions regarding address and contact number etc.

    He then asks about general health questions, any family (hereditary) issues, how many times I've been hospitalised. He also asked a lot of questions regarding mental health (I thought it was a lot of questions) and a lot of questions regarding heart problems (Possibly because I had a murmur when I was younger).

    He does the general throat check, temperature check and and gets his stethoscope out.

    This is the fun part (Not).... I lied down on the bed in my underwear and he hid all the pokes and pulls and twists (Im guessing to make sure I don't have any lumps, bumps, bruises or rashes) and he didn't seem concerned or worried about anything just told me to lose a bit of weight as it would help to lower my BP (Mind you I'm big and broad with size 13 feet but not fat or obese).

    He went over vaccinations and I had to get a booster. Dr Ogralik made small talk, was polite and very straight to the point.

    In the same building is dorevitch pathology (the guys that take blood and wear the green shirts.) The lady was very professional and took blood swiftly and I didn't feel a single thing. She then presented me with a cup and said a urine test is required.

    That was all done and I proceeded to reception to pay $605 AUD. With my receipt and another form, you have to go to MIA imaging to get the chest X-ray in Malvern... it took about 30 mins to get to on foot, but the X-ray is all done in less than 30 seconds, literally. Its just one picture.

    I hope this helps and good luck to all of you :)

    NOA2 - Approval

    in K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports

    Posted

    Hi Guys,

    Today, my partner and I checked our case status online...

    "On August 26, 2016, we approved your Form I-129F, Petition for Fiance(E)"

    We are guessing this is pretty much our NOA2.

    We just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on here and the posts they share. It has really helped us a lot.

    It feels like a big weight has been lifted from our shoulders. Hopefully the NVC and Sydney Consulate will be kind to us :P

    I wish everyone the best of luck who are still waiting for their NOA2s.
