APRIL '08 Vermont K-1 Filers

[lili&kai 0]

hi all,

I went back to the consulate to give my fingerprint again.

it was pretty weird cause everyone was called by their number and the consul called me by my name to come at the window. the PAris consulate is very packed with 20 windows and always 40 to 80 people waiting so everyone was like "who is that girl who get called by her name???!!"

anyways I eventually received the visa :dance: and I'm flying home on Tuesday

we're gonna get married ASAP at the courthouse (celebration with families will be later in France) and now I'm kind of wondering how it works with the SSN. I looked at the guide and the forum but it isn't so clear to me. the VJ guide says I shall get my SSN with my K1 and then that I shall come back after the wedding to change my name. It also says that I shouldn't try to get my SSN too soon after I enter the US cause I may not be in the system yet. ok but what if I want to get married ASAP? can I get married without the SSN and get it after?

Another question I have is about expediting EAD. I may have a job offer to start late January and I wonder how easy/hard it is to get my case expedite if I have a solid job offer? I read some people managed to do it but I don't know what's the exact process and how likely it is to get it accepted.. do some of u know about that? I asked the consul she was very confident I could get my case expedite but well..: I don't quite trust consuls...

again thanks a lot for all your help, merry christmas a little late and happy new year a little ahead

It's been a while since I have written in here... I am now going through the process of applyiing for my fiance's AOS - we are getting married Valentine's day - and his visa runs up on Feb 19th - but we are hoping to have it sent in before then, preparing everything ahead of time.. I have come up w/ my own checklist, can anyone take a look and let me know if you think I am missing anything

1 - Criminal History - he got this when we applied for the K-1 - so I will use that but get it translated as it was in spanish - can the one from Chile be a copy?

2 - Police Clearance - assuming I will have to go the local police department and have them give us something?

3 - Medical Exam - we will again use what was done for the K-1 visa - but is there add'l shots that are needed? I looked at all the forms but they all look to say that we just need the vacination sheet that was used for the K-1

5. Copy of the approval letter (??) - I didn't receive an approval letter for his K-1 visa, and everything he had he gave at JFK..

6 - Photos

7 - Passport copy w/ visa stamp, I-94,

8 - Marriage license

9 - G-325A

10 - Birth Certificate - can we just give a copy of this or does it need to be an original plus we will give the official translated version

11 - Should we send this all to the lockbox?

Also - he had the stamp from JFK for work authorization, does anyone know if there is any speedy way to get this approval as it expires on Feb 19th and he is currently working....

Thanks for all your help,

Hello!!

First, you need to get married, you have to wait for the marriage certifiacte to arrive (probably after a week after the wedding) and then you can start the AOS.

You need to go to the doctor here in USA and get the transcripts from the vaccinations. If your husband needs more shots, thye will let them know.
