Good old Thailand, Special police headquarters, building number 13, the old ink on the slate of glass for fingerprints, and a circa 1980 logitech camera on top of the computer in the little room in the back for the photo for the report. Also, like you said, you can wait 4 weeks, or get it on the spot with a small transfer of "expedite" fee to the right persons bank account.

Definitely, you can travel. When my stepson entered not 3 hours later, we went down to Mexico, so we left the US and then reentered a few days later on just the stamp in his passport with no issues. The stamp you get is as good as, or in some ways better than a green card, you don't have to carry 2 forms of ID like when you get a green card( Passport and green card separate), just show your passport and it's all in one.

Back in November of last year, it arrived 45 days after POE. Came thru LAX

Normally when you pick up your visa, it will have a website and number you enter to pay your fee. I paid the fee for my stepsons visa from my phone in the post office where we picked up the visa in the passport from the embassy. Took no more than 3 minutes, and when he came thru POE the office verified the address you want the green card mailed to, and lets you know if the fee has been paid or not.

As long as you are working there on a valid Visa, and can prove valid status, you can interview wherever you want. and if you have been there more than 6 months, look into how to obtain the police report from Bahrain, then time it so you have it a few months before interview.

Very true. Though I have found that anyone getting married on a K1 I usually do, more than your traditional marriages seem more comited to making it work. I think everyone I've married is still together as far as I know. And I usually here back from them as they continue the immigration journey.

Yes, I am still doing the Free service for anyone who wants to get married in Vegas. We can have the whole process done with certificate in hand in about an hour here in Las Vegas,NV. Probably the fastest place to get married in the US. Feel free to message me if you need more information.

Adding anyone to your insurance is pretty pricey. For exams and birth control I would cash pay it and go to a local planned parenthood. will get you by for a year or so, and then deal with the insurance nightmare later. Planned parenthood is usually really reasonable.

From what I see in the letter you have 2 options. Get the required vaccines and send proof that they are all completed now from the civil Surgeon, as that would remove the inadmissibility they are mentioning, or like they said in the letter , you can file a waiver if you want to go that route. You have to decide what works best for you. The path of least resistance would be to get all the vaccines completed, and submit a new I-693 showing this. Or you can go the waiver route that might take more time like you said. You have to decide quickly as you don't have much time to get everything done one way or the other.

If she got all the vaccines completed now, I would send that in showing she has everything marked complete with a letter stating she didn't have all the vaccines initially because she was trying to become pregnant, but now they are all complete. I wouldn't think you would have to bother with the I-601 waiver if all her vaccinations are up to date and complete now. That is how I understand your post. If you still haven't completed the required vaccinations, then you will have to go the waiver route.

Worth while to get that done on your next visit there. I was able to do most of my stuff stateside at the Thailand embassy in LA to make the process easier in Thailand. Sure it's similar in France. You want to get your marriage registered there because it allows you to open bank accounts, get drivers license, and basically be able to apply for citizenship there if you ever wanted down the line. I fly out to Thailand late November and plan on getting my citizenship finalized while there. My wife who came on a K1 also got her citizenship this past April. As others have said, do the SS office the day she arrives. I arrived in LA on a Sunday night late and drove back to Vegas. Dragged the wife to the SS office at 9am the next morning and applied for her SS card. 13 hours after landing in the US. Don't let the office give you any pushback saying you have to wait a few weeks before you can apply. The Computer updates the moment they enter on their K1 now, 10 years ago you used to have to wait 2 weeks, not anymore. Make sure if they say come back, politely ask them to check the computer, information is there, just government employees tend to like to kick the can down the road whenever they can. Good luck on your journey, I remember when I was in the same place you are. it's going to take some serious patience and studying to get thru it, but it is soooooo worth it in the end.
