Hi all!

If someone can please help, I would appreciate it!

I know a married couple...he's canadian and she's american. They have been living in Canada, but now want to move to the USA. Like I mentioned, they are already married. He doesn't have a visa or greencard. He's 87 years old and does not work and will not be working in the US. Does he need a visa or greencard?

Thanks!

Does anyone know if your spouse (USC) can deduct the fees that are paid for all the forms in this process?

Thanks!

Thank you everyone!!!

Congratulations!! From what I have read, after you get the welcome notice in the mail, the greencard is soon to follow. Some of the aos applications are being sent to California and requires no interview.

Thanks, that was very helpful, but do you know if I can work before I actually get the card?

I was wondering if someone can clarify something for me. I checked the status of my case and this is what I got:

Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.

On January 31, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Does this mean I will be getting my greencard? Don't I have to have an interview for AOS? Am I able to work before I get the greencard?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Thanks for all your info...it helped me alot! I love this site

Thanks! But do you know why my case is in Missouri? I thought there were only 4 Service Centers.

Hey all!

I received my notice of action for my EAD and AOS. I have an account with USCIS online to check the status of my case. The Service Center that I'm dealing with is Missouri. I didn't even know they had one. To check the processing times on the website, the only options are California, Nebraska, Vermont and Texas. I now live in Florida and thought it would be with Texas since that's where my fiance applied for the I-129 petition. Can anyone give me some info?

Thanks!

I need help!

I received my visa and got married. I currently have a USA driver's license, but it has my maiden name on it. I would like to change my last name. I went to the DMV and they told me that I need to change my last name on my Visa. Is this possible? If so, how do you do this?

Thanks!

Hey all!

I'm now living in the US with my K1 fiance visa. I will be getting married next saturday. Once I get my certified marriage license I plan to apply for my SSn and then apply for EAD and AOS. Does anyone know if I would be able to get a declaration of domicile? If so, when can I get it?

Thanks!

I just received my fiance visa. I will be getting married within the next 2 weeks. Do I file for AOS and EAD after I get married? And if I do, will I use my new married last name on the forms? Also, when do I apply for my SSN?

Any help in this subject will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

When the I-485 needs to be filled out, what do I put down for Family Name? Is it the my new married name (K-1 Visa) or the last name I've been using since I started this process?

Thanks!

Hey everybody!

I found out that my visa interview will be on Oct 27th!!! Once I receive my visa, I plan to enter the USA, get married, apply for my SSN. After that is the AOS and EAD. My question is, where do I apply? I will be in living in Orlando, Florida. Do I send my application locally or to Chicago?

Thanks for any help!

Hi!

This is my situation. Currently I am in my home country waiting for my visa interview date. I called the US Embassy in MOntreal this week to check the status of my case. The operator told me that I was on a waiting list for Sept/Oct. Since that is at least another month or so, my fiance has arranged for me to fly to the USA and then I would go to my visa interview from there. I have not yet received my packet 4 with the interview date. This will be arriving at my parent's address. My question is : Do you need ID when the package is mailed? I know that sometimes when you receive documents from the government, an ID is usually required. If this is the case, then I would have to stay in order to get my package, other wise my Mother would mail the package to me in the USA.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion!

Hi everyone!

I have a question regarding AP. How long does it take to get it? What if you need to go back to your home country immediately, like for an emergency (example: death of a parent)? Does the AP expire? Can it only be used once?

Please forgive me for all the questions, but I would appreciate any responses.

Thanks!

Montreal usually sends out packet 4 approx 1 month before your interview date. Unfortunately their website doesn't contain any 'waiting list' information.

All you can do is be patient or keep calling them

Thanks for your help !

Hello!

Right now I'm waiting for package #4 which apparently has the interview letter. I called the US Embassy in Montreal to check the status of my case. The operator told me that I'm on a waiting list for the end of August/beginning of September. I'm just wondering when will I get my letter. Is there a way to check on the embassy website?

Thanks

Hello again everyone!

Thanks for answering my questions!

How do you calculate the 125% income guideline?

Thanks again!

Hi!

Can someone please tell me what package 4 conisists of?

Thanks

Hi!

Does anyone know what Packet 4 contains? Is it just a letter that tells you when the interview is or are there more forms to fill out?

Thanks

Hey all!

Does anyone know if you can pick up your approved visa in person or does the Embassy mail it? The Embassy I have to go to is not near my hometown and my plan was to get my visa and enter into the USA.

Thanks

Hi everybody!

I was wondering if somebody can tell me what I do when I arrive in the USA. I want to work as soon as I could, do I apply for my SSN before getting married or do I get married first, apply for my SSN and then apply for AOS and EAD? I would just like to know the order of how things occur.

Thanks!

I know its not an approval buuuutttt..

I was touched 2 days in a row!!!!!

I didnt even bug them!!!!

I am sooo excited!.... I hope it means something...

What does being "touched" mean?

So let me see if I got this: If I don't get an EAD at POE, then in order to work in the USA asap, I should get married and apply for the AOS and EAD together. How long does it take to get the EAD and can I apply for a SSN with an EAD?

Thanks

Hi all!

I'm new to this site. Right now I'm in the process of waiting for my interview date which will take place sometime in Sept/Oct.

Once I receive my visa and enter the USA, I will ask the border officials to stamp my I-94 for work authorization. The question I have is how long am I eligible to work in the USA? I've read somewhere that it's only good as the same time the visa expires which is only 90 days. Is this correct? And if I don't get the work authorization stamped at customs, what do I do in order to work as soon as possible when I enter the US?

Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Hi. Yes, the temporary work permit you may get at the airport is only valid for 90 days. To see what to do if you don't get one, please check the guides: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...mp;page=k1k3ead

Thanks a bunch! B)
