Hi everyone, I have my interview scheduled for next month, but I am trying to figure out if I need to do another medical exam. I entered the USA with a k1 visa (I had my medical exam in May 2018 in Italy). I have submitted my i485 in September 2018. 

So the question is my medical exam still valid or I need to get a new one. 

Any help is appreciated. 

Hey,

your medical you have done back home is enough, I have had interview past week, and I just brought the copy of DS-3025 Form that I got back home -  officer didn`t even look at it

Oh wait I see. Did you misunderstand and think you would get your SSN right after you applied for the I765?

LOL, I was thinking that when you apply for SSN along with EAD it is going to be done faster, than applying for SSN right after receiving EAD and showing up in SSA office physically- turns out it is not

I am just trying to figure out if anyone else has this delay.

^^^yes that would be the last way to obtain an SSN (well aware) but the OP seems to be concerned with the word "fast" so I gave him the "fastest" option. 

 

 

Yup, I wish I had applied immediately after arrival. I really thought that applying along with EAD is going to be automatic, and as I read before on the forum- will only take couple of days- oh well...

Waiting, waiting, waiting

You can't request another SSN when once's being produced for you. It takes 2-3 weeks after EAD arrival for your SSN card to come in (if you applied for one on your I-765) You could try to go to the SSO and see if they can give you the number, but idk if it's produced already.

 

If you go early the wait usually isn't that long (at least where I live lol)

Yea I asked in the office, It would have been faster, because now no one knows when data from USCIS to SSA will arrive and number will be created.

Faster what way? You could have applied for your SSN upon arrival and before your I94 expired. Applying for it on your I765 and waiting 4 to 6 months IS the next fastest way.....you dont have any other choice....

That or just by going to the SSA office right after receiving EAD card.

https://www.ssa.gov/ssnvisa/ebe.html

If You Did Not Request an SSN While Completing Your I-765 – Visit an SSA Office If you did not request an SSN card on your I-765 application, “Application for Employment Authorization”, you must visit a Social Security office to apply for your Social Security number and card after you receive your Employment Authorization Document (Form I-766) from USCIS.

Are you talking about SSN? Did you apply for SSN on your I-765 or did you just go in with your EAD?

Hey,

Yes, that is what I am talking about and indeed I applied along with EAD, now it seems like it was mistake, because things are not really faster this way...

Hey September,

Anybody received SSC yet? Just went to the office today to check status and they had no updates about it.

Cheers!

What are some volunteering ideas as we wait for our EADs/GCs/AP. I do have a SSN. 

animal schelter...really depends on where you live...last time when I was in San Diego I went to Safari park, turns out the people that welcome tourists and tell them stories about the place are volunteers as well:P Good luck

*I-765

 

there are no biometrics for AP. So it’s normal for biometrics to be only for AOS and ead.

yea sorry, too many numbers recently.

Did you receive 3 letters for each application, after applying for AOS?

Hey guys,

Question to all of you:

I got text message for I485, I797 and I131 (all received, got all 3 numbers for it),

email about I485 and I797 only,

the physical mail for I485 and I797 only

and then again my biometrics (which I have done today) only covered I485, I797. 

Does anyone have similar situation and if it is ok? Or if it is not ok, does anyone of you know how to approach it?

You can export the entire WhatsApp chat in your memory to a text file. Some say the screen shots are better proof because anyone could type the text file, (not that you would want to type 6 moths worth of chats, and they don’t want to read it all!)

LOL:D thanks, I am already done with the interview:D they didn`t ask about it...

What I did was to screenshot all the conversation. Maybe two pictures for day o 4 pictures for every week of conversations ( I think that’s enough since I will guess you had been together for a while and you can’t put every conversation of every day and every minute)  I did the same with messenger and pictures of places we had been. Then I took every picture and copy and paste into word documents. And printed. It What’s easy. 

Thats lovely thank you:) I guess there is no other way than screenshots:D

Hey guys,

Many of VJ members mentioned they add history of conversations as proof of relationship.

Does anyone know how I can transfer whatsapp history from Iphone to some printable file without donloading any sort of little softwares that might mess up with my data?
