[dilbert30 0]

All i am starting this thread. We had a civil done...I am starting this thread as it might be a good forum for us to regroup and share info w/ each other...

Forms Needed

1. I 485

2. I 864 - Affidavit fo support

3. I 130 - Alien petition

4. I 131 - Adv Parole

5. I 765 - EAD

Medical - How much of medical work was done. I am trying to schedule an appt w/ the civil surgeons and am not getting any appt...What did they do?

1. Vaccines

2. TB test

3. Physicals

4. Blood work?

How much did it cost?

SSN

I called SSN office today and they told me that you can apply only after proving that you have eligibility to work. Ihave heard other ways round. I don't want to apply in her maiden name as we have to go thro' a complete revamp. What did you guys do?

Does Learner's permit need SSN. I am yet to check w/ my state.

Thanks.

Happy applying.

I-130 not required for a K-1 to adjust status

Medical exam not required if the K-1 medical was less than one year ago. Only vaccinations need to be submitted

SSN not required for the I-485. A K-1 has eligibility to apply until day 76 of entry, after that you wait until EAD is in hand.

Most DMV's have a list of requirements for a DL or permit. Look to your state and see what is requried. SSN may or may not be on that list

Hi Dilbert...hope all is well! We'll be hanging out here with you for AOS! I've done some reading and for the medical I think you can submit the I-693A, which is for vaccinations. Also, as far as the SSN...Tarun got his already. I've read...and I know Karri posted that she was having problems getting Sam his SSN, but we just went to the office, told them he was on a fiance visa, filled out the paperwork and it took a few weeks but we got it. You shouldn't wait until your EAD comes...in fact they put on his SSN card that he couldn't work without the EAD, so obviously they don't expect you to wait for it! I know that you also have to apply within a certain amount of time prior to the I-94 expiring so be careful of that.

I have one question to add to your list...what kind of evidence do we need to submit when filing for AOS. I saw the list in the AOS guide for what to bring to an interview if there is one...but it doesn't say if we should send all of that stuff (or what we have so far) with the I-485? Anyone who could possibly shed some light on this for me...I would be greatful!?

The only evidence related to your relationship that you need to submit with the I-485/AOS (for a K-visa entrant) is the marriage certificate.

The guide is pretty specific and the reason it doesn't mention other evidence to submit with the I-485 is because none (other than what is mentioned) is needed.

Thank you so much Karin und Otto!

Hi guys, Well we got married on Saturday and went back to social security office today. This time we had a better experience. The key is to select "legal alien not allowed to work." If you select allowed to work they will ask for your EAD which was my mistake last time. We won't be working on AOS until next month, we are leaving on our honeymoon on the 23rd for a week and will focus on everything when I return including getting another job, ugh.

That's great. Let's get this thread active. Do we need to file for GC before the I-94 expires?

1) I think it is I - 693 not I - 693 A as I was not able to find anything.

2) Why is there still a confusion int he threads reg. filing of I-130 vs. not filing I - 130. I am thinking we don't need it for fiance/ spouse.

Thanks,

Keep the thread active.

Moksha and Karri - nice to see you guys hanging out there...

hi guys:

Good to see y'all (don't start with my southern accent now Karri) come back. Thanks for starting the thread Dilbert. Moksha - glad to see someone has sent in their papers. Congratulations. Woohoo

Guess, we will all look to you for help with questions.

I have been hibernating/slacking off/working my behind off/all of the above who knows. Think the K1 process took its toll. Have been taking it easy a bit spending time with my wife, who is cooking me all kinds of goodies and not letting me go to the gym, so I have been putting on lots of weight at the wrong places. Not complaining by any means though.

As for me, we got married just over a month ago. Did get the SSN card earlier this week. That is how far I 've gotten so far. Plan to start looking at the AOS forms over the next few days. Again, am in no rush. Just happy that my wife is with me.

Will keep you guys posted as I am moving along, hopefully soon.

For expiration date of K1 visa in I 485, do we put the expiration date from the visa stamp - in our case it is 9/29...or do we put the I-94 expiration date which is in July..? Please advise...

Karri - How are things going with you. Long time no see on this forum....Well, I was told to put some 80 days after the application. Put something tentative. Welcome again...

Guys:

Moksha/Dilbert - I sent separate emails to you. I am trying to get everything completed this weekend. Got some bad news on Thursday. I am being severed from my job in 30 days. Not sure the implications it will have on AOS. Trying to get everything out ASAP.

Have my medical appt to get vaccination records transferred tomorrow.

I posted my questions on the AOS forum. Wanted to post here so I can get some help from you guys. Not sure if Karri has applied yet.

Here are my questions...

1) Do we put the the I-94 number or the A-number on the different forms. My wife has the A number (or what looks like the A number) on the I94 card.

2) Form 1-131, Adv Parole. Do we need to fill out Supplement, part 7 ? Is it required/necessary ?

3) K1 Approval notice..I send a copy of the K1 approval notice not the original, right

4) I864 questions...

Do I need to submit tax transcripts/W2s etc for the last 3 years or just most recent year, i.e. 2008?

Do I need to send an employment letter

Bank statements ?

I am thinking of what I had to do for I134, but I864 does not specify those things.

I-864, Ques 21, c (re: Household size). Do I put 0 or 1 ? The example form says 0.

I693 -- the parts that need to be filled out...

Part 1 (we fill this)

Part 2, #5, the Civil surgeon fills this out.

Part 5, the Civil surgeon fills this out.

For forms, we need to send the following ?

I485, I765, I131, I864, I693.

What about I-130 .. is that required ?

Where do you file the whole packet ?

File at:

USCIS

P.O. Box 805887

Chicago, IL 60680-4120

For courier/express delivery:

USCIS

Attn: AOS

131 South Dearborn - 3rd Floor

Chicago, IL 60603-5520

If I am sending everything overnight/Fedex, I should send it to the Dearborn address, right ?

Thanks for your help.
