For what its worth - the POE list here on VJ is not complete (only the ones folks have requested or the most common ones are listed) and of course, a person's final destination may/may-not be a POE - only the first US Airport (or foreign pre-clearance) is.

For a complete list of all US POEs, see CBP Port of Entry.

ramana - obviously a stressful time but some more details about your current status and sequence of events would help folks better understand and perhaps advise on a solution(s).

I got those last year already, might get another copy just in case?

Karin and I both got two and we still have two lol. It would be a personal choice - IMO, two is fine.

Does Frankfurt keep a copy after the interview?

Not likely - not sure they even looked at Karin's. There is/was a copy machine there (not free, of course ) if a photocopy is needed.

Thanks, I hope so! (Ich versuch's )

I am pretty sure I have it. It's in German/French/English, and I got two copies. It says Auszug aus dem Geburtseintrag and Extract from birth registration, listing my DOB, place of birth, name, and my parents' names.

Is that the correct one?

Sounds like it (looks rather plain) - has additional translations on the back too I believe. It just save you the trouble of having to translate it for USCIS in a few months.

The NVC to Frankfurt thing - It'll happen - you'll see (keine angst).

While you're waiting - about the birth certificate.

If you haven't already, I would encourage you to obtain the international version of your BC - it is easy (cost 7 Euro I believe) and will save you time and effort once you are in the US and doing your Adjustment of Status.

I wouldn't worry - cases are sent in batches (vs individually) so your case may/may-not have left the building on Friday. I would suspect you'll hear something in the next few days - the Frankfurt Consulate is very efficient (no surprise).

I would focus on getting ready for the interview - i.e., prepare for the medical - gather necessary forms etc.

*Monday is a US holiday - not certain if the Consulate is open that day or not.

You are correct - the additional $85 biometric fee is all that is needed for the dependent son (listed under Part 5 of the I-751).

Biometrics appointment notices should be sent for both (could be on one notice with both names but I believe it is two notices). Additionally - the NOA1 will serve as their 1-year extension of their PR Status (keep this in a safe place).

(Source: See Who May File? and What is the filing Fee? for more details.)

Until another Aussie drops by - check out THIS thread for some more information.

Employment is not a requirement - true enough.

The IO will (trust me) question how a USC Petitioner, who is not working, - nor (I'm assuming here) worked recently - based on biographical data attested to (and living in a foreign country no less), somehow has managed to squirrel away a very large sum of money and p.s., a large sum was recently deposited. They will, they absolutely will.

Huge red flag involving thoughts of USC being paid off (and by the parents of the beneficiary no less). Not advisable. Is a co-sponsor (in the US) not something that is doable? (Wouldn't or shouldn't require cash being borrowed.)

OP - when you say 'paid in case' is it safe to assume that might also mean 'under the table?' Are you filing income tax returns? A little more specific information and perhaps there can be some more specific answers.

hey guys,

just gettin ready for the interview, june 20th.. are there any documents that my fiance would need to get translated into english to take to the interview at the embaassy?

Do you plan to submit any documents/supporting-evidence that are not in the native language of the country the interview is being held in? (Spanish I believe)

Most Embassy/Consulates will not need these things translated. Example; Peruvian police certification (presumably in Spanish) should be fine left untranslated.

Check the Embassy Review Section for any helpful tips as well.

It does not appear that you are adjusting status from a family-based visa (not that I can see from your previous posts - it might be helpful - both to you and others - if you created a profile with timeline) .

Presumably this SS card was issued previously (from some point in the past - before marriage) - hence the different annotation than what might be typically found on a K-1 entrants card, for example.

The EAD is valid for work so she can now work. The EAD card by itself is not (not that I'm aware) sufficient to get the annotation on the SS card removed - that should be the PR/Green Card, once it is issued. My logic is, if the annotation were removed, then she wouldn't have to show the EAD any longer - which defeats the purpose.

**Topic being moved from Family Based AOS to Working & Traveling During US Immigration, where it may be most appropriate.

This learner's permit is a photo ID? If so, it should be fine.

Mirroring what essentially everyone else has said - What (exactly) does the RFE notice say?

(If you're assuming what it is, based on an email or status update, then it'd be best to say that and simply wait for the actual request - otherwise you will/could make yourself crazy in the mean time. )

Sounds like the question may have been answered already but for those interested - you can check the Embassy Info section for more details on specific Embassy/Consulates.

Also, many find the Embassy Review section helpful (to read what others have experienced).

**Duplicate topics merged and left intact.

Could mod please close this topic – the user is asking advice on how to commit a VISA FRAUD.

Perhaps.

FOA - please clarify what exactly you are asking??

It may need to be added by Admin. - it is a POE.

Sounds exciting...

Some tips can be found here.

**Just an FYI - this thread is rather ancient (past the above 2 posts) - new member may not be familiar with the forums (I've let her/him know).

**Topic split from an existing (and Old) thread.

cannot figure out something, do i need to type in adobe and take print outs or should i print the black forms and hand-write in them??

Even though this thread is a couple of years old, the answer is still the same.

You can (most folks do) type your information using Adobe (or similar) - you may (most folks don't) hand write all or some of the information.

As described above - some things may not fit when typing the information in - if this occurs, you may complete/type as much of the form as you can, then print it out and complete the remainder (portions that wouldn't fit) by hand.

Hi All,

I read somewhere that a beneficiary can still work with a temporary work permit while waiting for the whole Adjustment of Status to be completed. However, if for example her current employer, which happens to have a branch in the US and in her home country, will opt to keep her, but under the employment of her home country branch, and just work remotely, is that legal?

Thanks for any input

The short answer is "No" - can not work without Work Authorization from DHS.

It is doubtful your fiance would be working 'remotely' (there may be some exceptions to that but for the majority of us, it isn't going to happen). Once upon a time there was a temporary EAD stamp that some POE's issued (namely JFK here in NY) but that isn't/wasn't what most folks thought it was.

Best practice - enter the US, get married and file for AOS/EAD - the EAD takes about 90 days (sometimes less). Once that is in hand, they'll be eligible to work.

See our Working & Traveling During US Immigration forum for some more information (there are a couple of pinned topics on this very subject that might be of interest).
