I have a question. My friend just married a USC at city hall to a USC while on a tourist visa. I don't totally agree with what they did but since they already did it I would like to support them. Please don't be judgemental.. I've known the USC for 3 years and they've both been dating for the last 2.5 years. I just wish they did things a bit more formally.

My question now is, what should they do for the non-USC to get a conditional Green Card? Where should they start?

Thanks in advance!!!

a quick search yielded that they will accept the current form that says it expires on 10/31/09.

I mailed mine out on 7/24. My check was cleared on 8/10. I'm still waiting for my NOA1 for my AOS.

I'm filling out the G-325a form.. under the Applicant's residence section in the "Year" field i'm trying to put in 2007, but a "+" sign keeps coming up when i put in any 4 digit number (1999,2006, etc)

This "+" sign is also showing when I print the document. Does anyone know how I can get rid of that sign or how to use smaller fonts for Adobe Reader 7.0 ???

There's no place on the I-485 to put Previous Names used. Can someone point me in the right direction?

My wife and I just got married and she changed her last name to my last name on our Marriage Certificate.

On the I-485 does she now use her new last name (family name) on the application?

I just emailed the Seoul embassy. I called them also but they said there's no one live to talk to until 2-3:30pm their time.

I've received a letter stating that my I-129f has been forwarded on to the US Embassy in Seoul. It's been 1 month since then and my fiance still has not received her packet 3.

What should I do to get more info on this? Should I call the embassy? Any info would be great.

How will I know if the US Embassy in Seoul has received my K-1 Petition?

I have received a NVC case number on Feb 15th. The notice said the K-1 will be forwarded to the US Embassy in Seoul within a week.

My fiance has not yet received her Packet 3. How can I find out if the Seoul embassy has received my petition or when she will receive the packet 3?

I did mine in white also. No problems what so ever.

Everyone else does this.. and now it's my turn!!!

Just got my NOA2 via email today!!!!

Receipt Number: WACxxx

Application Type: I129F , PETITION FOR FIANCE(E)

Current Status: Approval notice sent.

Yahooo!!!!

Filling out the G-325A form and the I-129F petition for my fiancee is proving a little bit more difficult than we imagined. The main problem is the fact that all my fiancee's information is in Korean, which requires a proper translation. The question is, how accurate can you get with translation of addresses ?

If you know anything about Korean postal system, there is no "city" or "state" like the US has, but just rather a single line that lists everything from province down to the district within the city. I understand that there is a PROPER romanization to all addresses in Korea (and probably in all countries that don't use roman letters) and was wondering if anyone has any clue where i can find this information. So far, we've just done our best to translate it and are just hoping for the best.

Any opinions or people who have gone through this process before ? i tried emailing the US consulate in Korea for more information, but its not working as well as planned X0

Where does your fiance live? Inside of Seoul or outside?

On the Address line just write the english translation of the address. It may be quite long make sure you put in the Dong and the Gu on that line. The "Town or City" should be Seoul and the "State or Country" should be Republic of Korea.

Go to http://www.koreapost.go.kr/servlet/kpp.eng.PostInfoEng to find the english translation for the Dong and the Gu and to find the correct 6 digit post code.

For question 16 where it says "If your finace's native alphabet uses other than Roman letters... " what I did was have my fiance send me the Korean font version of the address through an IM message. I just copied and pasted that into the I-129F form.

Oh.. and to confuse you more, when you write it with the Korean font it is sorted backwards from the English font. Example, With English font you go in the order of:

Building Name and Number, Apt Number, Dong, Gu

Seoul, Post Code

Republic of Korea

When writing it in Korean font you do it in this order:

Si (This is the City example Seoul), Gu, Dong

Building Name

Building Number, Apartment #

Seoul, Post Code

Republic of Korea

If you're still stuck then just PM me with your fiance's address. I'll help you figure out what goes where.

This was also one of my most diffult parts when filling out my I-129F. Hope this helps.

Are we still waiting for NOA2? any news?

Of the reported 28 NOA2's this week, about 8 or 9 were early November.

Where do you guys go to view these time lines? Can someone walk me to it? I'm a November filer too!!!

Thanks!

Where is your fiance from? The UK? If so, then in the UK the woman normally takes the man's surname after marriage.

In asian cultures i know they keep their maiden last name. My fiance wanted to keep her last name and i said HELLZ NO... but that's just me you know.

I may be a bit cynical, but to me it seems like she doens't want people to know you guys are married. This is just my opinion.

Glad everything worked out for you! congrats!

Your Application Receipt Number (case number) from USCIS should be 13 characters long and start with "WAC". What notice did your fiance get? Was it a "Notice of Action" letter? If so, then there should be a Application Receipt Number on it.

I'm sorry to hear such a sad story. I wouldn't know what to do in your situation, but keep in mind that God has a plan for you.

OK ... I called USPS. They said when I ship something with delivery confirmation it does not include delivery tracking. Thus, they don't have to update it until it's delivered.

But check this email I received today.

Shipment Activity Location Date & Time

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Delivered LINCOLN NE 68501 11/08/06 5:01am

Acceptance KANSAS CITY MO 64116 11/06/06 10:16am

They delievered it on 11/08 and they finally updated the website on 11/16!

Anyway, I'm just glad to know it got there. I don't want any unnessary bumps in the process, especially since I just stated it.

Cheers everyone!

BTW - if you tell the US embassy that you have a girlfriend/boyfriend in the US you probably won't get apporoved for a tourist visa. That's what happened to my fiance.

Now we're doing it the right way considering our situation by doing the K-1.

I mailed off my I-129F Original Submission on Monday, Novemeber 6, 2006. I sent it through USPS Priority mail with delivery confirmation.

As of today I have not received any delivery confirmation and the check has not been deposited yet.

I mailed off my package to the Nebraska Service Center.

It's been a week so far and I'm worried because when I check the delivery confirmation online at the USPS website all that shows is that I mailed it off.

Has anyone had an experience like this? Should I be worried?

Thanks in advanced for your insights.

I'm looking up the processing times for the Nebraska Service Center and there is no line for the I-129F applications.

The other service centers do have processing times listed. Am I misssing something?

I'm using the link below:

https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/Proc...Center=Nebraska

Finally looked at this form properly and got a question about Citizenship/Nationality. I am Russian but live in the UK at present and have done so for the last 4 years. I do have Permanent Right to reside in the UK. My question is should I supply some sort of explanation for the american authorities about my status in the UK? or they don't care about it ?

Thanks

What country is your passport issued from?

Thanks for you input people! I'll be sending off my I-129F today!
