I'm already looking for what I am suppose to do after I arrive in the US... The lady at the embassy told me to go to my local office and ask for a SSN and a work authorization. I am kinda lost cuz' I thought that I had to do that after the wedding. What did you do Nick ?

Thanks for all the congrats

We got Nick's SSN two weeks after he got here - giving his status time to update in the system from the POE. Now that we have that he can get his drivers license - open bank accounts etc..

His SSN card says right on it 'not valid for work unless authorized..." We'll file for his EAD (employment authorization document) when we file AOS after we get married.

Hope it helps!!

tried to edit and it wouldn't let me...

I just also wanted to say edit to say...

I've read on VJ that there had been some problems with women waiting to apply for SSN until after they're married. They've been told that since they're married their K1 visa isn't "valid" as they are no longer a finacee (or something of the sort). I know it will be a pain, but you might want to get your ssn before you get married then just go back and change your name on it after your married. I haven't really looked into it as it doesnt apply to me but just wanted to put it out there in case there's any validity to it.

Thanks everybody !

So everything was easy. I arrived at 1pm and I met 3 women. The first one asked my appointment letter and my passport. The second asked for all my documents and took my fingerprints. The last one was the consul, she asked : How did you met each other ? What is your fiancé job ? What is your job ? What are you going to do in the US ? When do you want to get married ?

And then "Congratulations, you will receive your visa within the next 7 days"

I just looked the plane tickets and it is 100 euros more expensive than 2 weeks ago

I am super happy, first step done ! Hope that all the july filers will be done soon also !

Congrats Juliette! You must be relieved to have that over with.

A question for those of you who already passed the medical. How long did it take you to get the results and do they tell you that you passed or say nothing and just hand you the sealed envelope with results?

We still have about two weeks until the interview date, so we keep coming up with new things to worry about.

Jeremy took the medical the day before the interview. He went in the morning and went back in the afternoon for the results which were sealed but they told him that everything was fine.

I had my medical exam the day before the interview. The doctor told me that I was fine. Then I went for the blood test and didn't know when I left what were the results. Then I went for the lungs scan and they told me that everything was perfect.

The day after I went back to the doctor just before my interview, she looked at my lungs stuff, she gave me my blood results and a sealed envelope for the embassy.

Thank you ! I think that I will do it before the wedding also. Did you use the website to do it ?

We just went in to our local office... we were in and out in about 20 minutes, and most of that was the lady going on about Ryan. Went really smooth!

[Ju&Ja 1]

Cool, I will do the same
