In that case, submit an I-864W for each child. List yourself as form preparer. If they are under 14 years old, you may also sign the I-864W on their behalf.

If you first entered the US with your immigrant visa in Dec 2021, then your visa + CBP stamp will serve as your temporary green card until Dec 2022, regardless of the expiry date printed on the visa itself. What matters is the date on the CBP admission stamp. As long as you return within 1 year of that date, the visa + CBP stamp will be valid for US re-entry.

Are they your biological kids? How old are they now? If they are your biological kids and they are still under 18 years old, submit an I-864W for each child who is a minor. If any child is already over 18, you need to submit an I-864 for that child, as they will not automatically gain US citizenship when they enter the US.

Maybe there was a change in the worksheet format from the time your wife had her medical at SLEC and mine. The worksheet I got from SLEC last year has a line near the bottom of page 1: "Vaccination requirements complete - Yes". Anyway, this advice is too late in your wife's case, but for other readers who might be looking for info on medicals for AOS from K1 -- if you get a notice from USCIS asking for I-693, verify whether the notice is labeled "Request for Evidence" or "I-693 Deficiency Notice". If it is a deficiency notice, it is not an RFE and can be ignored by AOS applicants from K1 whose vaccination worksheet is marked "Complete" AND who filed I-485 within 1 year of the visa medical. Bring a copy of the completed vaccination worksheet to the AOS interview. If it is clearly an RFE, post a redacted version of it here on VJ, so other members can help to figure out what is actually required or can share their own experiences of how they responded to a similar RFE.

If asked, answer with the truth. If not asked, no need to volunteer the information. If the CBP officer determines that you, the USC spouse, do not actually intend to move back to the US yet on that date, they could make a case that you are not actually domiciled in the US at the time of the new immigrant's US entry.

I actually asked for the x-ray results on CD, but I didn't need it enough to insist. Regardless, SLEC Manila provides a copy of the vaccination worksheet to all US visa applicants, whether they ask for it or not, and had been doing so for years. So I'm surprised that OP's wife didn't know whether SLEC marked the sheet complete, unless they lost their personal copy or maybe they left the clinic before they could be handed a copy.

Not an issue if you will travel together with your husband. US immigration law requires the sponsor (the USC spouse for CR1/IR1) to be in the US before or at the same time as the new immigrant when they first enter with their immigrant visa.

If he gets sent to secondary like I was, it would not be enough to say that he's not intending to stay. CBP knows that people might change their mind after being admitted in. What they need to determine is whether your boyfriend has strong enough ties to his home country to make it unlikely for him to overstay in the US. In my case, when the topic came up, I was very adamant that I had no plan to stay and adjust status after my wedding. Even so, the CBP officer still asked me extensively about my work back home. I brought documents showing my ties to my home country, but the officer didn't ask to see them. Maybe I have an honest face that my answers alone convinced them that I would leave on time. On my next trip, I suppose my past travel history was enough to convince CBP that I would again leave the US as planned.

Just enter the IOE# of the immigrant fee receipt here -- https://egov.uscis.gov/casestatus/landing.do If the case status says something like, "Immigrant Fee Received", since it's been >90 days, you may file a USCIS ticket for non-delivery of card here -- https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/displayNDCForm.do?sroPageType=ndc&entryPoint=init Enter form number "OS155A" and the IOE# of the immigrant fee receipt.

Your spouse-to-be must answer CBP's questions truthfully, but no need to volunteer information that is not asked. Be honest, yet concise. On one of my tourist visits, the CBP officer asked my purpose of travel ("vacation") and who I'll be staying with ("my boyfriend"). Then he asked directly, "Are you going to get married?" I answered truthfully, then I was sent to secondary interview. The next officer asked about what I do back home, my then-boyfriend's job, and how we first met (that trip was not our first time meeting and also not my first US visit). Thankfully, he admitted me in, even knowing that I was going to get married in the US. We married within 1 month of my arrival, then I left as planned. Months later, I returned to the US. CBP's questions -- purpose of travel ("visit family"), who ("my husband"), is he a US citizen ("yes"). Stamped my passport for entry without any fuss, likely because I kept to the terms of my tourist visa in my previous visits. I left on time again after that visit. Over a year later, I returned to the US, this time with my spouse visa.

Changing her (or even your) name will not be an issue for the CR1 process. If she chooses to change her name, just make sure to list her maiden name in the form sections for petitioner's "Other Names Used". By the way, the I-130 is actually her (the USC's) petition, not yours. After the petition is approved and the case gets to NVC, the DS-260 will be your visa application form, not hers.

Did your wife not have a personal copy of the vaccination worksheet from SLEC? Based on my own experience, my observations during my multiple visits to SLEC (I had to return due to sputum collection), and reports from others here on VJ, all US visa applicants (including K1) get a personal copy of their vaccination worksheet on the last day of their SLEC medical. I also confirmed with the SLEC staff and they said that has been their standard practice for many years, even before my medical in 2021. (Unfortunately, they recently stopped giving CD copies of the x-ray results, which was actually what I was interested in.)

Like I said before, no need for chat messages/logs.

Of course there's a possibility that your B2 application will be denied. And it's possible whether you previously applied for K1 or not, as no one is ever guaranteed a B2 visa. Even if you didn't apply for a K1 previously, you are still required to list your fiance in your DS-160 for B2, as "fiance" is explicitly listed in the family section of the form as an immediate relative.

Book an appointment at an SSA office to apply for SSN in person. Your immigrant visa with CBP entry stamp serves as your temporary green card for 1 year from US arrival and is enough proof of your LPR status to present to SSA. As for your plastic GC, have you already paid the $220 immigrant fee to USCIS?

*** Moved from K1 Process & Procedures to SSN sub-forum *** Book an appointment ASAP for your fiancee to apply for SSN in person, preferably before you get married. There have been reports from other VJ members who were not able to get their SSN application processed after getting married and before getting their EAD. Only the K1 visa holder is eligible to get SSN with a valid I-94, prior to getting EAD. The K2 children must have EAD before they can be issued SSN. Just apply for SSN for the kids using their I-485 and I-765 forms.
