    Social Security Card

    in Adjustment of Status (Green Card) from K1 and K3 Family Based Visas

    Posted

    We went down to our local SS Office with all our paperwork filled out and our documents in hand. The man at the window immediately leaned back and called for his boss. They had some sort of discussion that I couldn't fully understand, but they seemed like they were indecisive, so I whipped out that notice that says K-1s can get SS cards, so long as it's within 15 days of the visa's expiration.

    They read this, and it looked like they were going to begin processing our paperwork, but then the boss said, I see you got married a week ago. Yes, I said, that's correct. I can't issue you a card on the strength of this visa alone then. Why not? Because K-1 is Fiancee of USC. Now she is wife of USC. You'll have to get work authorization before I can process this case. You should have come here last week before you guys got married, then I could have done it.

    Oh well, it isn't that big a deal to us, but it was a waste of a drive to Des Moines. So don't let this happen to you! I thought I was being wise, waiting until after the marriage so we wouldn't have to deal with a name change issue. I just guessed flat out wrong on that one!

    Hi,

    We have the same issue about the SSN application but somehow mine was granted.

    We went to the SSA office here in Fort Worth two weeks after our wedding.

    The lady staff looked at my passport and saw that my I-94 has already expired and I am

    aware of that. She said she will verify my K-1 status online..she typed in my Alien Number.

    She took a couple of minutes doing that and we noticed that she's quite unsure about what

    she's doing, we hand her a copy of the procedures we got from the SSA site. Then after

    a while, she checked with her computer again and said, "It is verified and you are eligible for

    an SSN." So we hand her the marriage license because we want my SSN to be in my married name.

    Digital or film?

    in IR-1 / CR-1 Spouse Visa Process & Procedures

    Posted

    hi everyone!

    its that okey to use the digital camera for my passport size picture or do i need to have the film?

    i dont want to have a mistake again for my ds230. pls help! :help:

    Hi,

    I think most of us here used the digital passport pictures attached to the forms. As long as it is

    identical and clear that would be okay. Remember, both ears should be visible and don't wear

    earrings and necklace. The background should be white and you should wear something with collar.

    Bringing personal stuffs to US

    in Moving to the US and Your New Life In America

    Posted

    I am deciding whether to bring most of my clothes here in PI to US or I will just shop most of my stuffs specially clothes when I will get there in US. I have read one profile here in VJ; she regretted that she did not bring most of her clothes. When she did her shopping there, she could hardly find clothes that fit her body size.. She has smaller body size compared to the clothes sold there. :star:

    Hi, I brought with me almost all of my clothings in the Phils. but left some there also.

    Yes, with my petite frame I hardly find stuff that fits me here particularly the jeans.

    And concerning the prices, it is kind of expensive here.
