Yeap, that's what i will do, i will apply after the wedding, i am taking honeys last name. i am just wondering couse in one of the requirements of the marriage license the are asking proof of residency, how can i do that, i just move here two days ago.

If I recall correctly, when Peter and I got our marriage license, they didn't ask him for a proof of address and we also got married in NJ. Of course, it varies from town to town but we didn't have a problem, we just showed that he just came in on a K-1 visa and they had it ready for us within a few days. Again, it could be different, just our experience, though. Best of luck!

Edit:

Peter had to get the medical re-done anyway because his vaccinations were marked as "incomplete but waived," and he had to get his tetanus shot again. Going in tomorrow to pick up the sealed envelope (it cost us $200 for the shot and to have the Civil Surgeon fill out the papers, what a complete rip off) and then we are sending it to the Chicago Lockbox, finally. Oy vey.

To anyone who filed for AOS, did you send in the actual Notice of Actions or just copies? Just wondering which one should be sent. Thaaaaaaaaanks, yall.

[kharkovpoacher 4]

Lohninck, I sent just copies. That is what I read on VJ.

Quiet around here. Everyone too busy exchanging DNA. Yeah baby. PS. My batting practice kept me from being a dissappointment. I'm back.

Hey guys....a quick question...

It is to my understanding that I will have to fill out a number of forms for packet 3?, one of them being form DS-230 Application for Immigrant Visa and Alien Registration. Question #7 asks for my nationality. If you are dual, you indiacte that you are. I have dual citizenship with the United Kingdom (my Father is British, and I was born in Canada), but have never put this down on any previous forms that I have sent to USCIS (except on a Biographical form regarding my parents place of birth). I currently hold a Canadian passport. It just makes me nervous to be adding more information about myself on these forms. What would happen if I just said I was Canadian and didn't mention the UK citizenship? And why do they need this info anyway?

No word yet on Montreal recieving our paperwork, but should hear something by mid November I'm guessing, just want all this over with all ready!!! lol

LeslienScott....you must be bouncing off the walls!!!!! YAY for you! I can't wait to feel that same excitement of finally moving! Good luck!

I have the same heritage. And since I was born in Canada, I put Canadian. Despite my Father being born in Scotland.

Thanks, we were trying to put me in the utilities of the apartment but without the SSN i cant... i told Honey that i had friends that they came at the country without the K1 visa and married without any problem, so i am doing things right and they will make it hard? i don't think so, oh and the friend i am mentioning married a year ago here in NJ... What about the people they just want to get married here and not move here? so anyway, i will go just with my passport and I94... no going crazy anymore about details!!! lol...

I have to do my medical again i bet, the shots i took were the same, incomplete and also they took the page in Migration... me chinga... more shots!!!

So i already completed part of the forms... i see one ask for the SSN number, i was hoping to apply after i get married, but it takes a few weeks, that means i will have to wait until i get the car to send the forms?

YAY THATS EXCITING!!!

I just came from applying for the SSN, they gave me a letter and told me they will investigate if i came legally (LOL i show my visa and i94 so dont get it but ok) asked for a few weeks to get it... but probably by the time i get it i have to change it for Honeys last name after we married...

OMG...ok, well....today was disasterous. The only GOOD thing that came out of today, is that I passed my interview and by next weekend I will POE and forever be with the love of my life.

My day:

1am left Mississauga for Montreal

7:15am arrived in Montreal after our gps got us lost 3 times due to closed exits on the highway

9:15am went inside, passed through security, took a number and waited

10am met at the window, spoke to the dood, then gave me the slip to take to the cashier

PANIC MODE?!?!!? Cashier??? Ya, I didn't read my interview packet properly and figured since we already paid the $455 at the beginning that I had already paid the "Fee". NOPE!!! And so I was completely and utterly unprepared to pay an additional $350USD. I told the dood I'd be right back and went back to the car where my step-dad was waiting and just bawled. I didn't have the money, my parents didn't have the money until Friday and we'd just driven 6hrs on little sleep for nearly nothing. I called Joe and Joe called his parents to see if they could help. Which gratefully they did. They wired the money to me and I made the 3pm cut off just in time.

11:30 went back to the dood and told him I was having money wired to me. So he interviewed me which lasted all of like 10mins and it was mostly a convo about Drum and Bugle Corps (which is how we met), then had finger prints done and boom, approved.

3pm Went back to the dood and showed that I paid. We talked for a few mins, he wished me luck and I went outside and smoked like a fiend while I called my in-laws, Joe and my Mum.

So ya...that was my day. 20hrs on the road, traumatic ordeals and all, it's done. THANK GOODNESS!!!
