Package Send 11/17/2010

Package Received in Chicago 11/19/2010

Hi... I know this must sound silly! But I have the K3 visa and I am applying for the AOS.

I am sending the forms: G-325a, I-864, I-485, I-765, G-1145.

But I want to know how many pictures I have to send w/ my package.

Thanks

I am about to send all my papers for AOS but I became confused until somebody told me that I should not use the surname of my husband yet.

should I use the surname of my husband on the G325a form and others form for AOS?

or use my name when I am single?

Hi...

in my case i aplied for the k3 visa with my maiden name, and now that i am aplying for the GreenCard i want to have my Husband's last name!!! my passport, my visa and case number have my maid name!! What can i do to change that???

please help me!!

What I just found on the website: http://www.americanlaw.com/fiance.html

"Aliens admitted to the United States as K-3 or K-4 nonimmigrants are authorized to work incident to their status as are K-1 and K-2 nonimmigrants. However, like K-1 and K-2 nonimmigrants, K-3 and K-4 nonimmigrants must still obtain an employment authorization before commencing their employment.

Aliens classified as K-3 or K-4 who are seeking to renew their employment authorizations will be required to show that they are pursuing the immigration process. They will have to show that Form I-130 has been filed on their behalf and, if approved, that their application for an immigrant visa or their application for adjustment of status has been filed with USCIS or Department of State, as applicable."

Why aren't there many POE's following this?

My wife (then fiancee) came in on a K-1 visa 10 days ago thru JFK. She was given the stamp on the back of the I-94 without asking.

I don't know why JFK does this, but from the paragraph above it sounds like nobody should be getting the stamp at POE. If you read more closely, it just says "K1, 2, 3, 4 nonimmigrants are authorized to work" but then the next sentence says "must still obtain an employment authorization before commencing their employment"

So, it's saying you are authorized to work on this type of visa (as opposed to you can't ever work on this type of visa) but you must FIRST obtain employment authorization (EAD).

But as long as JFK is giving them out, go for it.

Yep...

soo i still have to apply for EAD??? and it will take 3 months....

i dont understand!!! do you know if any K3 has ever gotten it?

Hi everyone!!!

I am soooooo happy, my I130 was touched today!!!! but the thing is that i didnt receive an email from CRIS, i thought everytime something changed i would get an email!!!

And about changing my name, how can i change my name when i get to USA, if all my IDs will be from Brazil??

Parabéns pela aprovação! Nossa, foi super rapido, que maravilha.

Agora respondendo a tua pergunta, o que fazer agora, etc, se vc nao precisa do dinheiro ou nao se importa ficar sem trabalhar, va em frente e de o teu aviso previo. Eu sou bem workaholic, eu faço de tudo pra não ficar sem emprego, se esse é o teu caso, eu te aconselharia a continuar no emprego e dar o aviso previo em 1 mes, pois com certeza vai demorar uns dois meses para a tua entrevista. Isso é o que eu faria.

Boa sorte com o resto do teu processo

Hi,

Parabens!!!!!!!! and I hope everyone can get a speed approval too!!

i just have one questions: doesnt she need the I130 approval too??? what happen now??

Hi, Nessa!! Good to hear from another brazilian going through this awful process so we can share our anxiety! hehehe! My case is also at Vemont Service Center and so far, no updates.

I think going to the US on a tourist visa (or whatever you have) is too risky because they know you intend to immigrate. So I wouldn't take that risk. It is really hard to be apart for so long, but we just have to be patient. (I tell this to myself everyday!)

Ah by the way, I'm from Salvador... Also from the northeast. Too bad we don't even have a doctor registered at the consulate in our cities, han?

Good luck for you!

HI!!!

Is great to see soo many brazilian people in this process!! Just today i learned how to read the NOA1, i put all dates wrong in my timeline and i changed today, i thought the date i received the Noa1, that was the real date, not the one in the paper!! hahahaha i can be stupid some times!!!

YEP.... its to risky to go there now, the bad thing will be to get a visa and then when u get there immigration deny you... i dont wanna pay that much money if we have a 50% chance to be denied!!! i think i have to be patient, like you always says!!! hehe

i know right.. we dont have anything near here!! We have to go to Rio to get the visa, go to the dr, everything!!!

Good luck for all of us!!!

Vanessa, yes, maybe it's taking that long because you are at the Vermont CS. But don't worry, you'll get it soon.

I didn't understand your story. You got legally married in the US, right? You could have stayed there. After you got your green card you could have travelled to Brazil and have your religious marriage here in Brazil. If you are legally married in the US, you cannot be married again here in Brazil (not at the Cartório), just at the church!

Ooooh my dear Lord, my dreeeeeam is to visit Fortaleza! It's the most beautiful city in Brazil (after São Paulo, of course! lol)...

I'll add you on orkut, but let's keep talking here too so that people can see how our cases develop, right?!

Beijos

Everybody is being soooo great, thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes.. i was legal in the US when i got married, i just got the wrong information, i thought i had to go back to brazil, and if i stayed to get my green card first it would take a long time for me to see my family (somebody told me i couldnt visit my family for 2 years and they couldnt go to US in that time either!)! I should had gotten more information about it, or called a layer!!! Renatchi, I will get married at church on July, but if i dont get married in the papers (cartorio) how am i going change my name to his??? do u know???

I have great news, i got my I129F NOA1!!!!! it took 7 days to the post office to send it to me! Renatchi, I am sooo glad u got already ur I129F NOA2, i hope i get that luck too, in fact i hope everybody that is applying get that lucky!!

Muito Obrigada!!

Oi Vanessa!

Well, I got my NOA1 for the I129F 10 days after we sent it. I suggest you wait a little bit more, if you don't receive it in a week, try calling the USCIS Center that is responsible for your petition. Is it California or Vermont?

Hey, where did you get married? In the USA or Brazil? If in the USA why did you come back?! You should have applied for a AOS... I think you can. At least a friend of mine did that. She traveled to the USA with a B2, got married and applied for the AOS. No one said anything about that and now she has her green card in her hands and didn't have to stay away from her husband! I know it's a fraud and it's incorrect and I'd never do that, but she did and is legaly there in the US.

I am not sure, but I have been told that if you cannot enter the USA while you are waiting for your K3 visa... The POE tracks your passport number and name and don't let you in... I don't know, but I think that US brazilians cannot enter the USA while waiting for K3. If that was possible, I wouldn't be here, I'd be with my baby in Portland!

I am sorry, hun, but you will have to be apart until your K3 is approved. Unleeeeess he keeps on coming to Brazil oooor comes to live in Brazil!

We have very similar dates! Do you have orkut, Nessa? Where do you live here in BR?

Beijos

Steve Y Jessica,

meloso means "sticky" in Portuguese as well. My husband and I are also very "meloso". We can't stay away from each other, not even for 5 seconds! I miss him.... :crying: :crying: :crying:

Well.. my USCIS Center is in Vermont, and i think that's why is taking that long!

The reason i didnt stayed in the US after the Wedding is that we didnt have anything planned, we meet when i was a Exchange student in his hometown and we dated for only 5 months(ago/2005 till July/2006), and when i had to leave we decided to broke up, i was 17 and he was 19... i we still keep in touch, but i dated other guys and he dated too, but we still had something.... When i got to college, they had a program u could work at Disney for the class break, i i went there on November the 28th till February the 14th, that period he went to visit me twice and i went to his city twice too, and we started to research about the K3 and K1 Visa and we thought the K3 was going to take less time, and i could come back to Brazil and planned the wedding (that is a big thing for my family!) and in 5 to 6 months i could be with him again! But it wasn't how we thought it would be!!!

my orkut profile is http://www.orkut.com/Profile.aspx?uid=2627803043371757480 and my MSN is nessa_ce@hotmail.com can you add me soo we can talk and i live in Fortaleza - Ceará, and tomorrow i will call USCIS center and try to know what is happening!!!

Well that is really something!!!! Geez, now we have to be in even more suspense daily!! Check the web!...check the mail box!...check the web!...check the mail box!......

!!!CONGATULATIONS!!!!
