Hey guys! how are you doing today!

Well today Kathy went to pick up her passport and the envelope containing the docs. As far as when she'll get here, chances are that tomorrow imma buy her ticket to arrive Sept. 9. That'll give her plenty of time to say her goodbyes to her family and get other things done. i start school at the end of the month eek... and other than that, we're looking to get married Sept. 23rd....

Now...i'm not too sure about the change of status, i think first its a temporary resident and after some months or a year or two you apply for permanent resident? I'm a bit confused there as you can see because i read something like this somewhere...

Adjustment of status.. if that is what you mean from my point of view will be done as quickly as possible after marriage..I will also apply for advanced parole so God forbid something happens back home, she can travel without fear of not being able to return. Is that what you were referring to Need?

September 9!!! that will be here very quickly! I am excited for you!!

Hi Richard, good morning! thanks for all man and for being happy for me!! Yea it'll come quickly, i'm gonna go pay for the ticket this afternoon and that'll confirm it all

Well, yes, that's what i meant, the change of status but i'm not sure where i saw that first it's change of status as a temporary resident (you still get driver's licese and social security number which allows you to work) and after some time you apply for permanent residency. Please explain, i've seen the process here but it's not really clear since i read that somewhere. I know right after marriage you can file for the green card but it will still take time to get approved, so how can i get her social security and ID, i'm confused there, also, if all things go well, I wont need that advanced parole, our religious wedding will be in Peru but i think with the expenses i had, i think i will need some time before we do that, i'm looking for a part time job after hours just so i can get rid of the debts faster, i know it will all work out, this 129F burden just showed me that patience is a virtue and once you learn it all good things just happen.

Ok...anytime now Jenny will be having her interview...

No reason there should be a problem, but still nervous...

should know by midnight I hope...or worst case in the morning...

Don't worry Dave. Be prepared to have a great phone call sometime tonight.

Jenny is online now - she got a Pink slip

She said she got a kind and approachable pre-screener, and then only had a few questions at the interview:

how and where we met

who is the petitioner

her birthdate

my full name and citizenship

now just waiting for delivery

Dude congrats...sorry i'm late at congratulating you, i missed out alot while i was gone then coming back to work and being busy wish you the best for all things to come my friend

I am very envious of Susan and need. I am so happy that you will be with your SO's so soon.

Need I am pretty sure that you can apply for a social security number about two weeks after she arrives. I think you have to have that so she can get her marriage license. It differs from state to state, but I'd look into that first. As for the adjustment of status you have to do that after you get married. You can also apply for work authorization and advance parole, which will allow her to leave the country. The best thing to do would be to go to the guides at the top of the VisaJourney page and there it has all the finite details.
