Dear friends here,

I searched here in VJ's about civil surgeons and no civil surgeons in my area but they gave lists of civil surgeons i don't know is it ok to go this lists? what is the difference? my zip code is 14623 and here is the link https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.summary

After filing my SSN where i can get a state i d? is the SSN only the requirements needed for filing this i d?

Pls help and hope you will not be tired of helping me for our papers and to my quirries..

Once again thank you for all the VJ's who help me and giving time to read and answer my quirries here

I'll answer what I can.

1. We just married last nov 14 do i need to wait for my marriage certificate before filing my SSN? how long the marriage certifcate will be delivered?

You do not need an SSN to apply for AOS, and you do not need a marriage certificate to apply for an SSN. In fact, the SSN application form does not ask you about your marital status.

However you do need the marriage certificate to apply for AOS.

3. In filing AOS forms and documents like insurance and other things that both our names is their is it really necessary?

You will only want to show documents with both your names on it such as insurance policies or bank account statements at the interview stage, not with the initial application for AOS.

4. How will I know or can find a civil surgeon in my area is their anybody knows? i tried here their is a link but its not working for me

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=CIV

If the link doesn't work for you, try again later.

Most of the forms in AOS they asked the alien number or SSN no is it ok that i leave blank for me coz i dont have any for now? and it is ok that i will pass my AOS application and dont have any SSN no?

It's highly unlikely (I would say impossible based on what I know but I don't know everything...) that you do not have an A number if you're at the point where you're filing for AOS. So you will need to locate that number. It's usually on the I-129F NOA2, and it may have been handwritten in your password on or next to the visa when you entered the US.

And like I said, you do not need an SSN to file for AOS, so just put NONE in the SSN field.

Thank you for the reply Shub u really did answer my question as what i expect but i have another question here where i can get the state i d after i file SSN? coz everywhere always need i d here and at least i will not always carry my passport.

Thank you so much and may God bless you and your family

Thank you so much to all who can read this and will give answers to my quirries i highly appreciate your great help for our papers I just ask to give brief and specific answers to my questions coz some here in VJ's just answer questions as what they like and nonsense.

hi there!!!!

does anybody could help me with my k-1??

i already have my NOA1 and i was last touched on august 22nd, i haven't heard anything since then, and i'm becoming desperate ...

i sent da packet on july 24th 2007

uscis received date july 26th

notice date august 17

i got my NOA1 (hardcopy) on august 20th

1st touched august 22nd

after all this process, once she's here, we want to get here a SSN and get married, to get her da SSN we need da i-94, passport,and what other things???, and they ask for an id too, how can i get her an id, i mean an IL id, don't we need da SSN to get her da id,, how's this process??? i live in chicago and plannig to stay here both of us, any question just ask me, please!!!

thanx a lot my dearest friends!

just go guides and click fiancee or k! visa and then in the right side their is an instruction and more lists for the things u need to do..about an SSN id they will ask another i d so just tell ur fiancee to bring any valid i d she have in her country other than passport and birthcertificate..maybe an alumni id, employment i d for her previous employment in her country and or any valid government i d she has will do.

U don't need to worry about this matters for now coz u still have so many things to do after your NOA1 u will wait for 3-5 months for your NOA2 it depends on ur case.

God bless with your papers and hope it helps you even just a little..

Have a good day

Hello everyone.

Can anyone help me know the reason why does the embassy (Manila,Phils.) did not turn over my parent's visa/passport to Delbros (courier) yet?

My parents have had their interview last month (OCtober 24), passed the interview and have instructed them not to go back in the embassy anymore and just wait 3-5 days for the delivery. We have the tracking number of the Delbros Company but they said they don't have them yet. We called the embassy many many times and they always, still processing. "Still processing?"

I assumed my parents will get their visa/passport within a week so I decided to buy them the ticket 15 days after their interview. Unfortunately, I need to pay airline penalties and service charges from my travelling agent and rebook another day until the end of this month.

Please any information you can give me is highly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Hello to you here in visa journey...as what i know it depends on where you live if its in the big city that they can easily access and deliver it it will takes so many weeks for the provinces..

About your ticket don't need to pay it from the travel agencies to make sure just wait the visa to be delivered in the house and that is the time that you will pay the ticket. The plane ticket have an option date when to buy it so just ask the travel agencies to keep the information always and make it renew always they can make it.

Hello to all,

Thank you so much for your replies and for those who welcome me here i really like the place and US life coz so peaceful and quiet not like in the philippines that so crowded and so much traffic.

Take care all and God Bless

My question is: Do I need to fill out a completely new G-325a or can I re-use the one that I submitted with the K1 visa application?

If some information has changed since then (like your married name, address, etc), you'll need to fill out a completely new G-325A and sign all 4 copies.

thank u so much for your specific answer and giving a correct information to us nini & bee..

Read the AOS guide here on VJ. Good luck

yeah i did read it all it does is give links to download the G-325a forms. My fiance and have already downloaded and filled out this form when we were applying for the K1 visa.

My question is: Do I need to fill out a completely new G-325a or can I re-use the one that I submitted with the K1 visa application?

Hey friends, i would like to ask help from all visajourney member who knows my question with regards to the affidavit of support papers. here are the ff:

1. Does my fiance need to get new documents for the affidavit of support?

2. For my G325a do i need to fill up a new one? for my family name do i need to change it or just the same as my family name when i am still single?

These are the things that confuse us for now and hope to hear from you it will be a great help for us and thank you in advance..

Respectfully yours,

key :help: :help:

I filed at the California Service Center in mid Oct I sent in my package. How long am I really looking at before it gets Approved or Denied? Please tell me in months people. THanks

what kind of visa you filed? i have a friend they have a spousal visa and the same center as u r it took them 7 months to get the approval of the petition and then u need to wait for the schedule for the medical and interview. It took 2 months for me to have my medical and interview after i know the schedule. For interview it will be one week after the medical schedule:-) hope it will helps u with ur quirries

Hey people, I already received the NOA2 approval. I was wondering if its possible for my fiancee to go to the interview in Manila without her passport. The reason why I am asking is because there is misspelling on her Birth certificate. And she is getting the run around in obtaining her passport. She lives in the Philippines. Is there anything she can do get her passport quicker. Also can she do her medical and interview without a passport? She is in panic mode now. What can we do?? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Tell ur fiancee not to panic passport is very important all she need to do is work hard for it u still have a time in making it correct its just so easy for her if its the DFA who misspell it if u really directly see it wrong then DFA will change it without any pay but if she just have her passport longtime ago even if DFA is the one who get it wrong or mis spell it u need to pay again for the passport fee. If their is any mistake in her documents for the spelling of her name she need to go to a lawyer and have the correction in her name and seal it or notary then she can go back to DFA. She need to work it soon now and im sure she wi;;l be finish before one month.

Just write me back and i will answer if i have something to help with regards passport thing..she can do overtime it is only two working days for 750 pesos only before i am not sure for now how much it is for the costs.

God bless to both of you and tell ur fiancee not to panic and just be ready with all the papers she neeed to do.

There were reported cases of missing passport but that was 2005 and they (SLEC) allow applicants to carry/bring the passport with them for the interview. But since then nothing of such sort had been reported so they went back to their old protocols and procedures:-> SLEC will forward the medical results together with the passports and pictures to USEM.

thanks for clarifying that issue to me...

Im 100% sure that I read this issue before

Hello Skyblue,

TRANSITION TO THE ELECTRONIC VISA APPLICATION FORM (EVAF)

Starting 01 November 2006, ALL nonimmigrant visa applicants must use the online Electronic Visa Application Form (EVAF) or DS-156 Form. The EVAF is free of charge, will speed up the processing of visas, and reduce waiting time. It is also easy to use because it is the same application form that is currently used, except it is online.

Handwritten or typed visa applications will no longer be accepted by the Nonimmigrant Visa Unit in Manila. If applicants do not have an EVAF on the day of their scheduled interview, they will have to reschedule their interview through the Call Center or through the VisaPoint™.

For more information on EVAF, please visit the Nonimmigrant Visa Applications Forms page http://evisaforms.state.gov/

After you fill it up you send it and they will send your file back and you can print it out.

I dont receive my pocket 4 until now it makes me confuse what i really need to do? do it online or get a request to SLEC so that USEM can mail it during my medical exam? and I heard from a neighbor and someone who is in US now to make sure i have a barcode and only online is the only way i can have it?

PLease help and hope to hear from you soon..

Thank you to all

Hello to everyone,

Hello to all can i ask if anybody can give me an advice? We are already approved and waiting for my pocket to arrive home. My fiance already called US State and they said USEM already mailed the pocket last aug.10, 2007 and they gave my medical exam dated sept. 27 and interview will be oct. 4 do we believe this since we really do not receive the pocket yet until now?! We are worried coz its already 2 weeks now since they mailed it as what the personnel said. What we gonna do? do i need to call the embassy and ask about it or it is my fiancee need to call the USEM in manila to check if its really true..

I tried to call their number they give it here in visa journey but the guy who answered my call before he is not good in aswering querries he dont even tell me yes or no!

Second, is my interview date is oct. 4 as what they told my fiance is it possible we can change it to later date even oct.8 coz my fiance will be coming here but he will leave in US by oct. 4 and arrive oct. 5 fare is so expensive and it is only oct. 4 he can get $ 1,800 and the other dates are so expensive already!

Please give me an idea for other members who knows what i need to do and what number we wil contact and if possible person that we can talk to the embassy that could help my quirries.

Until here and hope to hear from you guys

God bless to all of us who still wait for our interivew dates! and to all who is already approved!

You can download the packet here, its the same packet that you will be receiving

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwfivk1.pdf

http://manila.usembassy.gov/wwwh3227.html

thank you for your reply until now i didnt receive my pocket..so it is really ok to download this online and will not ask the SLEC to call the embassy and request my pocket to mail there so that i can get it on my medical?

I am really confuse now? so ok langba talaga na i will do it online? did you do the same also during your time? thank you so much for sharing your ideas i really appreciate it:-)

Hi,

We are still gathering documents needed for Eve's passport, but we still don't have any old ID's. Eve was told it would be better to use a travel agent to get her passport, does anyone know a good travel agent in Cebu we can use?

Thanks in advance!!

Hello,

I search your quirries and as a travel specialist or tourism major their are lots of travel agency here that is good grand hope, grand holidays and destination specialist is one of the fastest travel agency who will really do all. Why she need to have a travel agency? I worked in DFA before as my first job and i know their processing time there. For travel agency it only takes so long for you to wait morethan if you will just go their in person the only disadvantage if you will go their personally you have to wake up so early and line up there but the effor and standing there is just worth it than in a travel agency most but not all are just making money for people specially if they know that the girl is have foreigners.

And to add up before DFA when i worked there only 4 application for each travel agency everyday and how many travel agency do we have here and accrideted it is morethan 50...

I just share so its up to you if your wife will go or get with a travel agency or just make it on her own...

God bless and if have more quirries just feel free to ask coz i can also ask therein DFA or wanna cal 2536798 local 102 the director is really do good Angel Espiritu so u can ask a favor if you like or talk to him if ever.

K..and have a good day
