Verton an i are going to the SS office tomorrow and to apply for our marrige license. Wish us luck!!

Good luck tomorrow!!

At the airport the lady told us she would be fine b/c she can still travel on it up to a year after it expires

There is a "grace period" in which you can travel after it expires....not sure how long it actually is.

I am going to send it through DHL. Being that they don't have housing addresses there, does that mean that we can't send the package to the local post office where they receive the mail?

I would call DHL and ask them what the procedures are. When I sent FedEx they were the ones who told me he would have to come to their office to pick it up

I have a friend that did (but that was a while back). I'm sure the procedures are pretty much the same but maybe you can look into it a little bit more.

Thanks Anna -- I know what we need to do.....

Also does his signature have to be hand written or can it be typed in?

Definitely hand written

Good afternoon all!! It's sunny here but it's still a little crisp.

I have a question too.... I plan to fill out the DS230 and the rest of the forms and send them. Can I mail the DS230 directly to the Embassy or does it have to be hand delivered? Also does his signature have to be hand written or can it be typed in?

I am also wondering about the mailing issue, I am going to send it through DHL. Being that they don't have housing addresses there, does that mean that we can't send the package to the local post office where they receive the mail?

I know these questions were already addressed.... But I am still not quite clear on how to go about it.

Sorry

Wherever you mail the DS 230 from he will need to sign it (an original needs to be mailed). It does not have to be hand delivered. Just write really big on the envelope your case #. Signature must me signed (not typed) original signature. Track it if you can for your reference. He can drop it off if you dont want to mail it---he'll probably need an appt to do so.

He will get the mail. Just make sure you put his contact telephone # on the DHL envelope. They will call him when it arrives & he will likely have to go get it at a nearby dhl location. Trust me Ive done it many times.

They told us a year , but now I'm trying to renew it. Can I do it thru mail? Or would I have to pay the whole thing since it already expired?

Well I am not sure where things stand right now but we are still undecided...well he still his undecided. Hurts because we are already married but heah you live and learn from your mistakes right

Hey Marsha =--= good to see you back. You do live and learn and everything happens for a reason. Try to stay strong in your convictions and it will work itself out

I renewed mine after it expired (two years) and I had to pay the full amount

I think you can do it through the mail -- I did it through the Post Office and had no problem.

Thanks for the answers I was asking about the signature because I was thinking about sending it straight to the Embassy. Maybe I'll sign it myself

I don't know how true it is as I have nothing on paper yet, but per a friend who is a congress woman in california, Our security clearance has been cleared and we should recieve our green card and thirty 30 days, in the mean time we can go to the immigration office to recieve a stamp. The web sites says our case is still pending. I cannot celebrate till I have something in writing but of course D is beyond happy.
