yes i was wondering this also, what if you have the work permeant as your waiting for your aos and your social security card? is that 2 forms of id, as well as the passport but thats has my old name.

Dollars

Your wife can leave the state, but not the country. She can use her valid passport. Here are other forms of acceptable TSA identification.

Acceptable IDs include:

U.S. passport

U.S. passport card

DHS "Trusted Traveler" cards (NEXUS, SENTRI, FAST)

U.S. Military ID (active duty or retired military and their dependents, and DOD civilians)

Permanent Resident Card

Border Crossing Card

DHS-designated enhanced driver's license

Drivers Licenses or other state photo identity cards issued by Department of Motor Vehicles (or equivalent)

A Native American Tribal Photo ID

An airline or airport-issued ID (if issued under a TSA-approved security plan)

A foreign government-issued passport

Canadian provincial driver's license or Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) card

Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

Non-US/Canadian citizens are not required to carry their passports if they have documents issued by the U.S. government such as Permanent Resident Cards. Those who do not should be carrying their passports while visiting the U.S.

hey black velvet, the only id she has is her Mexican passport and her work permit here in the states, also her SS# card. if she where to use her passport and her AOS did get accepted how will it affect that, cuz she is using her new name now.

hey we are planing on going to boston in march, and my wife is still waiting on her adjustment of statues, it was sent to california in october, and we havent heard anything yet. she did not apply for the i -131, just for the work permit. we are in austin texas and my question is does she need the i-131 to leave the state? and also if she can leave does she have to use her passport or can she use her work permit for an ID? im hoping that her statues will be changed here soon but in the event that it does not i just didnt want to get plan tickets and then not be able to go.

No tienes que hacer cita pero ten cuidado de unos tipos que estan afuera y tienen gafets diciendo que estan acreditados para eso pero no es verdad, ellos te diran que necesitas cita y te van a querer llevar a sus "oficinas" y te van a querer sacar dinero NO LES HAGAS CASO!!! Tu solo llega y listo

wow i cant believe the hoops they make you jump through. im sorry to hear that your still having problems. i think since they took his passport that hes most likely going to get his visa. it would not make since to take the visa if there going to just give it back empty. that is a good sign, are you guys staying in juarez while you wait? or are you guys going to leave and go back later?

congrats!!

man you guys are lucky,, the only one i found was one about 45 minutes away and they still charged me a lot, i spent 83$ for the minimum visit, 30 for the immigration charge, 60 for the MMR shot and 40$ for the other shot i cant remember what it was,, it was a total of like 210$,, i was not happy about that, but what is done is done. that step in the AOS is done, now on to finish it up so that i can finally send it off.

i think i have found one there suppose to call me back to let me know,, ill up date when i get the call

i finally get to post here after the k-1 process, we are getting the AOS put together, working on the vaccinations so i looked up the civil surgeons in my area and there are only 2, so i called the first one and they do both the medical exam and the vaccinations but he will not do the vaccinations with out doing the medical,, i know that on the k-1 they should not have to do the medical seeing how she already did it a month ago, and i explained to them that she only needs the vaccinations,, he wants to charge $400 dollars for the medical exam,,

the second doctor only does medical exams, no vaccinations.

my question is what do i do? is there some one else that can do the vaccinations?

congrats!!!

congratulations!!!

congratulations!!

one question, how did you get a packet 4? juarez only does a packet 3 dont it?

we blacked everything out because my fiancee did not want them to read it jeje,, and for the enterview we prented all the facebook conversations from october till last month and it took her like 2 days to read through it and black every thing out jeje, but im sure they dont ackually read though it all. they dont have time to really.

you only gave them call logs? what about pictures, plane or train tickets with your names on them, facebook messages with date and time stamps, receipts form Jordan with your name showing you where there. what about personal permissions to enter the country. emails from them to your family and visa versa. theres a lot more stuff you can think of to show that you guys have a relationship, i dont know how strict is your embassy thou.

just passed our interview and we used the same form version 5/31/11, no problem

hey congratulations! good luck on the rest of your journey!!

congrats!!

wow i cant believe they would do that, im sorry for your delay i hope it all goes well and fast!

i did sign and date, not only me but so did my fiancee. im not sure if you have to tho but i did

and i also put not in military service, worked for me

According to the health department where i received my birth cert. in Washington state I was told a lot of government places will not accept a birth cert. that is 3 years old or older FYI

im from texas, i used my birth certificate and its over 20 years old, so that should not be an issue

well you can try to do it today because the ASC place is open. I know because when I first scheduled my fiance's interview I scheduled the ASC for July 4th but we changed things around and we're also doing the ASC tomorrow. I've read other peoples experiences in Jaurez and more than one person got their ASC done the day before the interview. I also read the newest review where the person writes that it needs to be done 2 business days ahead of the interview.

I tend to think that since others have obviously gotten it done the day before, and haven't had a problem, that it's fine. But someone who's gone through it already-- it'd be nice to hear from you

so it is open today? and if i try today do i have to change the ASC appointment online before we go? i would hate to do it tomorrow then Thursday they tell us that we should of done it earlier

and you have your interview on wednesday to right

my fiancee did her medical today, and we're waiting on the results, so im reading reviews to see whats all we need for the biometric app. tomorrow.

my question is she has her interview on wednesday and her biometrics is tomorrow (tuesday) is that going to be a problem because i see that ppl say it has to be 2 days before the interview, but i see ppl have it done the day before. just a little worried. and todays the 4th of july so i cant even try to do it today.

do i have to cancel the interview and see if i can get it set up for thursday?

i think i have everything we need for our trip tomorrow. thank you for the help!

i dont think its the most dangerous place "on earth" that's a bit extreme... and no one from Mexico who is trying to get a K1 or other immigrant visa has a choice-- we HAVE to go to Juarez.

as far as the OPs questions

1. I've read you only really need 1 paystub as long as it has YTD earnings on it, if it doesn't than it's probably best to bring a few more recent ones. my pay stubs do come with YTD earings on what i make and how much i take home, plus my 401k and money that i have going to may savings and all, i figure ill take 4 of my recent stubs

2. I don't think your fiance needs to wear anything super formal, but probably a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt. My fiance is just going to wear jeans and a polo-- no flip flops though like normal :-) (We live near Cancun) . jeje nice, flip flops will help with the heat jeje

3. I'm not sure about the paperclips, but in the list of things you aren't allowed to bring into the consulate, I don't see paperclips listed lol. There is a list of things in the K1 info packet on the ciudad juarez website . ive look on those sites and i dont really see it on there i just ask because i have like jumbo paperclips to hold all my bank statements and i dont want it to be a problem

4. I hear you have to go through security, if the only thing you have in the backpack is papers then it's probably ok? but I'm just guessing, someone who has actually gone would know better. ill ask the day before and see what they tell me, i have a document box as well its just bulky but its better then nothing

5. You only need the DS-260

6. Good question! I'm not sure..

7. I paid over the internet too. On the appointment confirmation sheet that you get when you make the appointment (they also email it to you) it has the payment confirmation code, that's all we're bringing.. . this is very true i for got about this thank you for reminding me jeje

8. I doubt that would be a problem but if you're really worried why not just fill out the I-134 again and print it out with all of the questions typed . will do, i think i would be better

9. I've heard for the interview you shouldn't show up more than 30 mins beforehand.. As far as the ASC appointment, I don't think you need to show up super early for that either, maybe 10-15 mins. From what I've read about the ASC appointment it's a pretty quick and painless thing

10. I would assume flying within Mexico is the same as flying in the US, paperclips baggies and papers should not be an issue...

(and

6. They dont. They will at the medical though.

is it better to pay with my visa or should i take cash? i know its not the best thing to carry a lot of money around.

It is not the most dangerous place on earth. If you want to get a K-1 visa in Mexico, that is where you must go. The government chose the location, not those applying.

1) i have most of my pay stubs since i started my job over a year ago, is it bad to take them all or only take the 4 or 5 recent ones they ask for?

Just bring a few of your most recent ones ok then ill take my most recent 4 pay stubs

2) what kind of cloths do my fiancee need to where at the interview, i know that she needs nice cloths but how formal does she need to dress?

She should dress like she is going to a job interview. ok she has dress pants and dress shoes, and she has a nice blouse or should she use a dress shirt as well?

3) for my bank statements i have big paper clips holding them together, is it a problem to take them in to the embassy, i know the have strict rules

I believe it ok to have paperclips on your papers you bring in. there the over sized paper clips to hold all my bank statments

4) also about the embassy, can i take my papers in a backpack? i have a box but its bulky and if i have to take it i will

I am not sure if they will allow a backpack in the consulate, so you might want ask them before you bring it. Also, unless things have changed, you won't even be allowed to go in with your fiancee. i dont think i can go in ether, i just thank its easier for my fiancee if she has it in a backpack but if she cant we'll use the document box we have, ill ask the day before

5) i know that i need to do the DS-260, just making sure because ive seen it say the DS-230. i only take the DS-260 right?

Yes, the DS-260.

6) do they charge you in the bio appointment?

No clue on this one.

7) i payed the interview over the net, i have the confirmation code, do i just write it on a peace of paper and hand it to them?

No clue on this one.

8) on my i-134 i did know exactly how much i have in my 401k or how much i have for my life insurance, so i printed the form and wrote in pen the amounts later, is that going to be a problem?

It should not be a problem, but you can reprint it if you want it to look uniform. If you make the 125% poverty level guideline, you do not need to list your assets on there at all anyway. i make 46,800 plus 15000 in over time, so thats not a problem, i can just reprint it

9) her interview is at 7:15 am,, how early can we get there? and her bio appointment is at 2:20 pm and how early can we get there?

I would go to the consulate about 6:15-6:30 am. if we were to go there en hour early is she going to wait out side or is there a waiting room? and if shes out side can i wait with her till she can go in because ill be a bit nerves if she has to wait outside,

10) we are flying from monterrey to juarez, and i was wondering for those how have flown in mexico, how different are the rules on carry-on items, iv never flown in mexico, and i want to carry on to backpacks, one has all our visa papers( which has the paper clips and baggies with reciepts , and other stuff) and the other backpack has my laptop. im just not sure what all can go or not. where both flying so she can take one and i can take one.

You should contact the airline you are flying on to ask how many carry on bags you are allowed. My husband flew on a couple airlines to and from Juarez, and both of them only allowed 1 carry on. ill call them tomorrow the other forms listed on the consulate website)

i thank you guys for the help!! good night ill be on tomorrow.
