Well......a bit of bad news....sigh :(

Joseph had his interview, all went well except my divorce decree was apparently not a "certified copy", although that is what I requested. So we are approved, pending receipt of the certified copy which I have on its way to me now. I will overnight it to the embassy when it arrives. So overall, its good but more delays......hate delays!!

hang on...YOUR divorce certificate?

I only have the copy of jason's certificate that's in the i129-f...oh boy. Is that gonna be a problem?

I thought the interview was all about me...they've done the bit that's all about him, havent they? *panic*

Naddy - did you get your SS number before you got married? In some counties in SC you need your SS to get the marriage license. Or, are you in a county with no SS requirement for license? What county are you in? Also, are you gonna do the civil surgeon transcription for immunizations, or not (see our Nov filers AOS thread for details)?

Heisable - you know we are here if you want to talk x

:help: Where did you get this information ? I still didn' t apply for my SSN, we decided we' ll wait until we' re married so we don' t have to go through it twice. How do I make sure I need or don' t need a SSN for getting a marriage license ?

Each county is different, but many counties require a SSN for the license. York County in SC, which is where I'll be living requires SSN, so we have to get the license from another county. Check the requirements of your local county, if they require SSN, check neighbouring counties as they all have different requirements. But when you've got the license, you can get married anywhere you like, in any county.

Calm down Miss Jess! It is all about you. Don't know what they are doing in Dublin (bad luck swimmingupstream, but it's only a slight delay, as soon as you send them the cert, your visa will be sent out). Mr Dog has been married before and I took his original divorce certificate just in case (but it hadn't been certified), but they did not want it to see it at all.

Better go to the city hall and ask? we had it all done the same day (SSN and marriage license). if you don't want to apply for the SSN, just ask for a paper stating that you don't have one yet, I think they can give you that if you explain the situation.

Each county is different, but many counties require a SSN for the license. York County in SC, which is where I'll be living requires SSN, so we have to get the license from another county. Check the requirements of your local county, if they require SSN, check neighbouring counties as they all have different requirements. But when you've got the license, you can get married anywhere you like, in any county.

We got our license from Laurens county, but got married in Simpsonville. But on the marriage license, we put Laurens county as place of wedding, to avoid questions or problems (cause Drue said that one time when he performed his friend's wedding, they put different county, and they were b*tches at the city hall. So better put the same county as the issued license.

Miss Jess, good luck for your interview tomorrow :thumbs:, hope all goes good. I guess the copy of the divorce certificate should be enough, cos they already have the I-129F file. They gave us back with the visa the first pictures we sent for the I-129F :blink:, I thought they would keep them and hang them on the wall of "Mentally Disturbed couples due to K1 process" :girlwerewolf2xn:

Hi kids!! ;)

I'm on the train down to London from sunny Leeds right now...train only 40 mins late, grr, but let's hope that's the only delay in the next 24 hours eh? ;)

Tonight I'm meeting up with my not-so-little brother for a late dinner and soothing beer, then off to the hostel. I'm simultaneously ridiculously overexcited and absolutely s******g myself...I'm a lot more relaxed about the interview itself than last night (thanks for the pep talk mrs dog and naddy ;)) but I think the life-changing nature of tomorrows decision is overwhelming me slightly.

Can't wait to get it over with. I'll let you know the score tomorrow!! Big love!! X

Girls, I phoned NYC this morning ( we are getting married there ) and the woman said all I need is the valid passport and a translated birth certificate, no SSN for NYC ( in case somebody else is getting married there ) . So we are all set and good to go ! :)

And thanks for your help !

I am the petitioner (u.s. citizen) and apparently my divorce cert wasnt a certified (stamped) copy..... :( I cant remember when I submitted that but they caught it now. I was thinking that was submitted at the beginning, and not in the packet of info I sent Joseph....which means it got thru uscic/nvc....and took embassy in dublin to catch it.....figures
