    A.Na. reacted to Ali T in N400 Traffic citation   
    I'm seeking the same information. I intend to respond YES to question 23, as I have two traffic violations (speeding and following too closely) and one parking ticket. In the documentation section, I won't be attaching any files. as we "You do not need to submit documentation for traffic fines or incidents that did not involve an arrest or did not involve drugs or alcohol, if the only penalty was a fine of less than $500 or points on your driving record." and finally will bring tickets and payment receipts in the interview.

    Traffic ticket is not a crime. Print out the receipt for the ticket's payment, and explain it at the interview.

    A.Na. reacted to BBGG in Timing of K1 entry, SSN, Wedding, and AOS   
    Hi @Usaph I had the same question recently and did some research on why everybody is recommending to apply for SSN before marriage. My conclusion from what I read on VJ is as follows:
     
    Looks like if I apply for SSN on K1 visa before marriage, it will most likely be successful, but if I apply after marriage, SSN will most likely be denied, and I will have no choice but to wait for SSN after EAD (may take 6 months).
     
    From what I read on VJ, SSA (Social Security Administration - the body that issues the SSN) often rejects SSN applicants with K1 visas after marriage on "you're not a fiancé(e) anymore" basis, and this is, as some say, due to SSA's wrong interpretation of K1 visa rules, but it seems that they are adamant, and nobody managed to change their mind after SSN application was rejected for this reason.
     
    Looks like after marriage I will simply show as "status mismatch" with my K1 visa and marriage information in their system when they try to enter my application (you can actually search "status mismatch" on VJ if you are interested in further research), and the only workaround is (1) to apply for SSN before marriage or (2) to wait for EAD. 
     
    Alternatively, SSA will accept my application, but I will not show in their system immediately, and they will have to run "manual check" through DHS/USCIS that will anyway return the “status mismatch” reply after 4 weeks of waiting for whatever reason, and while this all is happening my 90-day I-94 will expire, and I can only apply for SSN while my K1 visa/I-94 is valid.
     
    (I-94 is the port of entry confirmation, K1 visa is valid for 90 days, so I-94 is also valid for 90 days, but you should apply for SSN within 76 days – before you reach 14 days point before I-94 expiry, after this point SSA is known to reject SSN applications)
     
    SSN is not needed for marriage or AOS, but it will make life in the US really hard if I don’t have an SSN (will be almost impossible to open bank account, be added to your spouse's medical insurance or get your own, get driving license, etc.).
     
    We decided that I must apply for SSN before marriage, so the plan will be:
    Day 1: Land in the US and enter with K1 visa Day 2: Request SSN (not waiting for 2 weeks, as it was written above already, now the data is transferred from port of entry instantly) Day 3: Get married without waiting for SSN to be issued (because SSN itself is not needed for marriage or AOS, but it will not be possible to request it after marriage) Day 4: File for AOS* Hooray! Day 5 and on: Wait without rush for the SSN to be delivered by post in about two weeks’ time  
    * It is a separate matter whether it may be possible to get the marriage certificate that soon, as people write here, in most cases they have to wait for 2 weeks to be able to get a certified copy of their marriage certificate for AOS, but I did some research on that too and I will write it in my next comment.

    Yes. List both of them. It's better to give more information than 'forget' later on down the road and it come up in an interview.

    Yes, you can put all of that. I am a member of ISPE (International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineer) and AAPS (American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists)  and I think I put those on all my applications with USCIS

    A.Na. reacted to givionte in Ds-160 social media identifiers   
    They need your handle, so the name used on your account, not your login ID or password.  For facebook, you can just copy and paste the link of your profile, other sites might be able to do the same as well.
     
    don't worry about MySpace or Google Plus.  Google Plus you can always just use your email, but Youtube and other Google related services will cover it anyway.
     
    For phone number, just provide your current phone number, unless the question asks you to divulge old and new phone numbers for the 'last X years'.

    A.Na. got a reaction from SJordanS in Documents Arrangement for Embassy Drop-Off and K1 Interview Day   
    I guess we also need an updated and signed original letter of intent to get married from both beneficiary and petitioner, this is from what i have read on this website. 
    but i'm not exactly sure about the order, but I know that we should drop off  all the original documents 1-2 weeks before interview and bring all the copies with us to the interview . there will be a person who would have a checklist at the embassy and take the documents that they need.

    Hello everyone, 
     
    We received NOA2 approval on may 11 2019, it took only 68 days from NOA1!!!
    Now what's next? I (beneficiary)  updated my email on NVC website, does my fiance have to do that as well? Also what are the civil documents required to be submitted to NVC once we get case number assigned? Are they the same as the ones we shall provide to the embassy?  are there any forms that we should fill other than (I-134, I-874, DS-160)?,  should these documents be submitted as originals or photocopies, and if photocopies; should it be notarized?  
    Sorry for the tons of questions, but I'm confused, too much to do 😛
