thank you!

Hi,

A good friend of ours is writing a letter stating the he knows us well and spends time with us on regular basis. He put his address, phone #, a-mail and DOB but he said that he would not put his SSN. Is this a problem? The letter is not notarized. Thanks.

Hi everyone,

i just received my green card and I would like to apply for Florida driving license. My SS card is still on my maiden name (i am waiting for the new one).Do you think this could be a problem?

Card production ordered! In less than 3 Months and no interview! Wow... I still am sitting here and cannot believe it. USCIS is full of surprises. The k1 process was eternal but the AOS in return is going really fast in our case.

Thank you!

Hi, I just have received my work authorisation card with my name changed but I still have the SS card with my maiden name. What do I need to show to the SS office in order to make the change - would the the work ID and passport be enough?

I walked in early in the morning today without any problems. The USCIS office in Ft Myers is new and they did not have a lot of people waiting. They asked me only for the appointment letter and my passport:)

I just have received the letter for the biometric appointment for Dec 31st and my husband and me are going to be traveling. I will try to walk in tomorrow (the office is not far from where we live). Should I go with my husband?

Hi,

I came in USA as K1 visa holder and on the POE in NY I received a work authorisation stamp on my I94. The clerk said that I could start working on the next day if I wanted. Than I found the information here on visajourney that I am not allowed to work until I receive my EAD card. Why do they put these stamps and give wrong information? Have somebody else received a stamp like this?

hi there,

the best would be if a civil surgeon makes a transcript of the information from the vaccination record to the I693 - I was charged only 45 $ for it and for one vaccination that was expired. I used my vaccionation record from Bulgaria. But I saw that some people have sent only the vaccination record and they have not received RFE.

I went to the civil surgeon in Ft Myers, FL today. I called few of them yesterday in order to compare the rates - the cheapest was 145 $ for full vaccinations (the rates were between 145$ and 285$ with the different surgeons). The receptionist tried to convince me during 30 minutes that I needed to pay for the full medical examination (280 $) I am thankful for visajourney. Finally I was charged only 45 $ for 1 vaccination (my record was not complete) and for the transcript of the vaccinations record to i693 but I had to negotiate (at the beginning they wanted 80 $ for the transcript). It is sad that they are trying to tricks people. Most of these surgeons are foreigners, too.

Thank you!

Hi,

I did not get a copy of my medical. I gave the brown envelop to the officer on the POE and all that I have left is one X-ray from the surgeon from Spain. I have a vaccinations record from my country, too. Does that mean that I must pay the 300$? I just want to have more information before I have to go to the surgeon here and be ready in case that they try to make me pay more.

Hi,

I decided to take my husbands name after getting married, so I understand that I should apply with my new name for AOS. I followed the expamples forms for the i 485 and g325. What about the I-693 and I-864 and the other two optional forms? On the POE I received an authorisation for work, so I am confused if I should I send the I-765.

Hello,

I have applied for SSN after getting married on K1 visa. After 3 weeks of waiting I noticed that there was a mistake on the address and we went to the SS office for help. We were informed that it will take some more time because they had to withdraw the card and that they are reviewing my file. May I apply for AOS without the SSN? My I94 expires on Dec 24th.

CONGRATS! We got our approval after the interview this week and the visa is on its way!!God is good!

congratulations!!

It should not be a problem to reschedule the interview. My fiance called the embassy in Madrid to change the date and it worked. I think that it is better if the call is made by the petitioner, but it is only my personal opinion.

I have read somewhere that as soon as I know that your case is recieved at the Consulate, I can download all the forms from the USA embassy's web site and send the reply without awaiting the packet 3 (in case of having all the required documenets collected) so the process can be speed it. Is it possible? Can there be any problem at doing it?

CONGRATULATIONS! We got our NOA 2 with an E-mail on the 31st, too. After more than 7 months of waiting...

Hello everybody,

We received a RFE after 5.5 moths of waiting for NOA2. Another month has passed after our answer to the RFE. The instructions on the RFE said that USCIS needs 2 months to process the answer. This should mean 8 months of waiting?? Can we make a service request now (almost 7 months after the I129f) or should we wait until the end of August when the additional 2 months will be over?

hello everyone...may I join the group of the January Vermont centre waiting list? now I can see that we are not the only case ( I was starting to worry that uscis may have lost our file )

thanx everyone!

In another thread you spoke of moving. I am cofused who the USC is in this case but if the US citizen moved and did not notify the USCIS, mail from them will NOT be forwarded to a new address. Also for the poster above "Bill & Maria" (any relation?)

There have been several cases posted here where someone moved, the USCIS sent an RFE they never received (they assumed the mail would be forwarded) and never saw anything on the online status (because it is unreliable at best) and ended up having their petition cancelled because they did not respond. Keep the USCIS updated of your new mailing address, understand that it takes up to 45 days for them to update your mailing address and the mailing address MUST be within the United States. If you will be out of the country, make sure a friend or relative can receive your mail.

Bill is the petitioner. He has given his home address in NH and even if he has moved to FL and the update takes long, his parents would receive the mail in NH. Now, I will be moving here in Spain in July. Bill has called the USCIS asking about their advice on how to change my address and they have said that he should send the VSC a letter with my new mailing address. Do you think this update could take long as well? Thank you for your help

Sorry for the late answer. When Bill called uscis regarding this issue, all that they said was that he should send a letter to VCS with my new address. Don´t forget to put the number of your case

thanx everyone!
