Hopefully that all gets sorted quickly for you mate!

Hi all, I am travelling to the USA tomorrow and just done the online check in and entered my visa details. It says I am checked in but that the travel document details I have entered aren’t valid for this flight and that the boarding pass isn’t available to print and to collect it at the airport? I have double checked the visa details to make sure that they are correct as well. Is this just for the staff there to review my K1 Visa details to make sure that everything is correct? Has anyone else had the same situation before as well? Hope you can help!

Thank you Tesco! How are things going with your Visa application?

Cheers for the advice - much appreciated!

This is what I am anticipating. I am travelling to the USA this Saturday. I know people have said after 2 weeks (I did see on a page on the SSN site saying 10 days but not sure if I should go at 10 days or 14 days?) to go to the SSA Appointment after booking online for the SSN which would be around the 23rd December.

Boots was for 12 years and older and they did have Pfizer (cost me about £100) and I believe Pharmadoc had Novavax as well but oh well at least you have had the vaccine now.

The Covid vaccine was available for free on the NHS for certain categories of people and it was available in the UK privately through companies such as Boots and Pharmadoc.

Thank you both for replying and reassuring me with your advice - much appreciated! I didn't think this would be an issue tbh, however, I just wanted to make sure that was all. Thank you again!

Hi all, Hope you are well. I am travelling to the USA from Heathrow this Saturday and I was just wondering what peoples experiences were in terms of going through security with the K1 Visa Sealed Documents Package? Did they ask you any questions at all about it or did they not say anything and you just put it in the tray for it to be scanned through? Just wondering if I need to explain to them what it is at all (even though it says on the package)? Apologies this is something I have just thought of and stressing me slightly. Hope you can help!

Their advisors on their live chat were very helpful and patient with assisting with making sure the Customs paperwork was completed accurately as well. Thank you for the recommendation @wallflowers

Brilliant - thank you for letting me know!

Apologies @Edward and Jaycel I was reading this post again and just wondered if you were able to clarify what you meant by copies of her Visa if possible please? I am only aware of the Visa being in the passport - do you mean they take a copy on the Photo ID page in the passport and the page where the K1 Visa has been added into the passport? Hope you can help!

Just an update on this but my Aunty received my P45 on my behalf on Thursday which was the day before my last working day with my employers. I went and collected it from her earlier today

Collection for my boxes on Monday

Just an update on this. I have booked my shipping with Send My Bag

I just had a look online and it seems that they aren't issuing physical debit cards in the US for Wise at the moment but also it says that if you move to the US from the UK then the debit card won't work due to card licenses being specific for different countries and regions?

That would be great - thank you!

I'm not too sure which provider I will be using yet. Some people have mentioned some like Wise, Atlantic Money and TorFX. Is he using Wise for his bank account savings to transfer over? For wedding expenses I used PayPal to send over to my fiancee. I just had a look at Wise site and is this the card your fiance has? https://wise.com/gb/card/

I don't unfortunately. I haven't had a credit card before.

I have a debit card but unfortunately my bank charges a percentage of the transaction for each purchase whether in pounds or in another currency. So I would like to avoid any extra fees if I can so it doesn’t affect my savings. I was considering maybe getting a Revolut card and uploading some currency on there but I will need to look into it a bit more

Sorry I am aware of that already as I have another post on the forum regarding credit cards with my progress and info regarding that. My fiancée spoke to the credit agency about it.

Hi all, Not sure if I need to start another post regarding this but I just wanted to ask what you did after travelling but before your bank account was opened in terms of spending money for expenses? Did your fiance/fiancee cover all expenses? Did you take some cash or use a travel card with some money uploaded onto it to pay for things? As there will be a period after travelling where I will need to get my SSN, California Driving License or California ID card and then open the bank account. So although my fiancée is financially responsible for me I still want to contribute where I can while out of work. I have been approved as an authorised user on her credit card but I will need my SSN to begin building my credit score. I am still keeping my UK account open as well. Hope you can help!

Do you mind if I ask how much you had to pay in international minutes or what the total cost was with the £3 transfer fee included as well?

Great advice as well @ScarletWitch6x! Thank you!
