The public charge rule excludes Medicaid in case of pregnancy. And there are exceptions for the affidavit of support for getting medicaid. I think you should be fine, but make sure you talk to a lawyer that knows better.

Thank you~

Why would you try to enroll on Medicaid when you have insurance?

As a secondary insurance. To cover some cost. But if its risky then I would not take that risk. I heard some people did it since its not a long term assistance only during pregnancy. But may not be applicable now because of the recent changes. I'm not sure~

u  can use chips or food stamps or WIC for child but medicaid (according to this and several other articles i see on internet can affect u)

Thanks for this info~ 

Already submitted our AOS.

Got pregnant. I don't have a work.

We do have an insurance under my husband but I'm thinking of enrolling in Medicaid which they'll cover the labor & delivery. (Emergency Medicaid) 

Will it affect my AOS? Any idea? 

Thanks

Hello,

We just got married last Valentines Day hosted by Cleveland Municipal Court. We were even featured on the news:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/fox8.com/news/valentines-day-weddings-at-tower-city/amp/

My question is: 

After the event, they gave us a copy of the Certificate of Marriage from cleveland municipal court with the sealed resolution and our signed marriage license.

Since we're trying to send our papers before the 24th of Feb and we haven't obtained the certified copies of the marriage certificate yet,

Would the aforementioned marriage certificate given to us suffice the copy of marriage certificate asked in submitting the I-485??

We would really like to submit the papers before the 24~ 

Please help. Thanks

Cherry

It depends where you are as it varies by courthouse, when we got ours done we had the certificate instantly after the ceremony, maybe look around in nearby counties to see if they offer this or call them and see if theyll do it on request.

 

Ohh thank you

Nothing stopping you doing an "official" courthouse wedding, its quick, cheap and you could get your marriage certificate there and then. Then you could file AOS before the 24th, then have your scheduled marriage ceremony later.

We'll do that~ since we already have a marriage license. I think the marriage certificate takes 2 weeks? How many days after can you get a copy of it? Thanks

Hello Japan Filers,

I have a question regarding the Drivers License.

Did you convert your Japanese Drivers License or did you take an exam/test for US drivers license? Thanks

We got our NVC letter 17Sep19. Our Interview will be in Tokyo, Is there a packet or some further instructions we should be waiting for? We submitted the DS160 already. I am ready to pay the fee and set the appt. Is there something that the embassy will send out the the beneficiary? I called and emailed the Embassy, and I could not get a straight answer. Our petition expires in Dec. Any thoughts?

By this time, I believe your fiancee already received an instruction from Tokyo Embassy. She just needs to submit the initial requirements. Then after submitting she can call the embassy if it has been received and if its okay to schedule an interview.

Hello Yighfield,

Yes I already booked my interview. They have available slots. For K1, interview is done every Monday.

Although you can technically set the appointment, they won’t accept you unless you get the package and send them back the required documents. So I would wait for the package, or set the appointment month or so + ahead which you can change later. Meanwhile you can finish up the medical.

Thank you for the reply. I already have my medical done

Do I have to bring the 129-F packet? Thanks 

Hello, 

For Japan Filers, Am I allowed to schedule an appointment now ? I mean I can book an appointment now coz I already paid the visa fee.

But I haven't receive the packet from the embassy yet. But they got our case last 9/5. 

Do i need to wait for the packet 3 to set an appointment ? Thank you~

Hi guys, quick question. The ceac website says my case is “ready” but I still haven’t received anything from the embassy.

 

Do I need to do something else at this point before the embassy contacts me or do I just wait? 

 

Thank you!

Hello, same here. The embassy received our case 9/5 but haven't received anything from them too. Waiting~~~

Hi,

I have a question. I'm done with DS160.

Do I have to wait for packet 3 to pay the visa fee or I can pay anytime by now? 

(Case status: Ready)

Thank you~ 

Hello again~!! 

I just checked our status 

Now it says "READY". 

Yey 😊

I just checked our status 

Now it says "IN TRANSIT". 

Yey 😊

Thanks for the reply. 

I'm done with my DS-160 now. 

Thanks Mucho 😀

Need help about this question on DS 160

I don't have any vaccination record. I haven't done my medical yet. I just filled out the DS-160 in advance.

They're asking for an explanation. 

Anyone on the same boat? What to say? 

Thanks

Hello

I'm the beneficiary and it only shows my first and last name too~

Unless your job has any national security implications, USCIS doesn't really care much about the beneficiary's job as long as the information reported is accurate as of the time the petition was filed.

The beneficiary can't work right away when they get here anyway.

 

It's also fine if the petitioner changes jobs, as long as he or she still makes enough to support their fiancé(e).

Thanks for the reply
