Hi Natalie,

Congrats on your husband getting an EAD. Please note that

1. EAD Alien number (A# 999-999-999) is only used for immigration purposes.

2. EAD is required as proof, when apply for Drivers License if he does not have one.

3. EAD number is required if you move your house, if you do, do not forget to fill out the AR-11 form online.

If he is applying for a job, they will ask his work authorization and "he can say he has a WORK PERMIT which enables him to work for any employer and needs no sponsorship now or in the future". Once he gets a job the only time he would require to take his EAD is when they fill up the I-9 FORM as proof that is he legal to work in the USA.

Hope this helps

Hi Everyone,

I applyed for CR1 visa for my wife via DCF process in India and wanted to document our journey.

The issues we faced during the way

1. Found out US citizen need not be in India for the mandatory 90 days and it is at the discretion of the Embassy and it is evaluated case by case base

2. Also Found out that Hyderabad Consulate cannot do Immigrant Visa Applications as of now as USCIS Services is not there yet.

3. Getting Police Clearance Certificate from all the places where my Spouse lived and getting Passport clearance Certificate is quite an hassle ( it normally takes 2 to 6 months, if you do not know people, so it is better to get that going else like in India everything else works with a Jack)

4. The Medical checkup was also an hassle, the doctor's are very rude and they initally gave us Sept 30th even though our Interview date was Sept 8th.

5. My wife went for the interview, we were not aware of taking a check again for the VISA for Rs 19000 and it was not mentioned anywhere in the website or the documents sent to us. But we got the money order and all went well.
