One question, is the embassy suppose to give back the medical records after the interview is finished because I never saw it. Or will it come in the EMS package once it gets delivered? My fiancee will need the medical records to get through customs.

Nevermind she found it. Can we start calling the Embassy after Day 5 to track the package?

Make sure she has an extra copy of hr vaccination record...

Well, my fiancee was able to come home with me on May 7th! Things are doing pretty good and of course she seems overwhelmed with everything. She is currently living with her uncle and his family until we get married (since she is Catholic). It's too bad he lives 20 minutes away from my house so I normally have to pick her up in the mornings on my days off and drop her off in the evenings in time for supper. She is a very picky eater (no American food) so we will see how that goes. I did take her to a local mall and she got a shirt and body lotion which she seems to enjoy.

Is it OK to go ahead and file for her SSN so soon? On the website, it asks for US Immigration documents but customs kept the brown package she received with her Visa. What documents will she need to bring to the Social Security office?

Quann is right. I took mine on the 4th or fifth day when she was here and got it. I believe I did hers either before or after we got married by a civil judge so we could finally be together.

If you are planning to marry soon after arrival it may make sense to wait until after marriage to get the SS card. You will have plenty of time remaining on the I-94 and it would be issued in the married name.

Uyen will keep her Vietnamese name and I think we are planning for a June wedding. Being apart from her right now isn't too bad. I usually see her on a daily basis though.

If marrying into the Catholic faith I thought I would let you know that it took the Church a year and a half to finally give the OK for us two to get married. Luckily for me my babes Uncle gave us the OK to start getting to know one another after the civil wedding which was accomplished within a week of her arrival.

Here is something I wish I knew before hand. I don't know how it is in your state of resident, but in this good state of Nebraska, my wife couldn't get her driver license once I-94 expired. Once it expired she has to have her GC to get her driver license. So try to go for her DL as soon as you can unless she's not planning on going anywhere.
