FYI...not sure if its the same with all States....

Today my husband went to the License place to get his Ohio state ID and this is what they asked for: I-94, Social Security Card, Original K-1 approval notice (1-797), Marriage License, Passport with visa, Birth Certificate, proof of address (we used what the court gave us when we applied for the marriage license otherwise they wanted a utility bill with both our names on it which we did not have yet). Anyway, the licence place only gave him a state ID valid until August 5th because that is when the I-129f petition approval expires (valid from April - August 5, 2016). So basically they go according to the validity of the I-129f approval in issuing the State ID. They want us to file for the greencard and once we get the notice of action then we come back to get an extension on the State ID....imagine. I am so supprised at how things have changed. I am a naturalized citizen and back when I went through my paperwork things were a lot easier but now,,,man its tough. Now we are under pressure to do the next phase as soon as possible because his state ID expires next month and I'm wondering if they would be able to get his drivers' license before we file for the greencard with all these requirements. I need him to be able to drive...urrgh!! It sucks because all of it involves lots of money :(

Just thought I would share in case anyone can benefit from the information.

The problem is the rules are SO different from state to state!! ....

No that's not for k-1 so just look past what it says there right now :)

Yanisa got email from the embassy with interview date July 19 which is a Thai holiday.

But still need medical, etc. I think they will try to change the date to the following week if they can.

Medical scheduled for July 13.

Things are moving very quickly now.

We are keeping the date on the 19th. She will hand-carry the sealed medical results to the interview. They assured me they do it that way there and it works well.

I guess I will be there (arriving on the 18th) so I'll be taking her to the embassy and waiting outside :) Are all embassy interviews the same in that the petitioner is not allowed to the interview?

Yanisa says she is very excited.

So somebody a couple thread pages back or so said that people often buy tickets when CEAC status changes to issued. How far out do you recommend purchasing ticket? How long does it usually take visa to arrive?

Just looking ahead. Fiancee is in medical exam today, interview on the 18th. :)
