Congrats!!! 

General question: I have my NOA2, no NVC number, interviews are scheduled with almost a month time frame, so I guess I can immigrate sometime in May. Anyone knows when I'll be able to work? I am already interviewing and mentioning hopefully around September. Is that too optimistic? Thanks!  

Hey there please check out my timeline. I think most of your questions can be answered there. Here is the link. If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message.

 

thanks

Harold

Hey Marinapoli 

 

based on what I seen with other filers your EAD arrives about 3 months after you file for your Green card.

Keeping in mind that the DS-160 is used for more than just the K1 Visa, some of the questions may seem a bit odd in the context of the K1.

Therefore:

 

1) Specifically, the DS-160 asks for Home Address and Mailing address.   The Home Address is where your fiance has been residing.  Mailing address is where your fiance receives mail and is generally where their passport will be mailed to.  They may be the same.

 

2) The address of stay in the U.S. should be the address where you will be staying in the U.S.   If you will be staying in a hotel, state the name and address of the Hotel.   It is not ok to only state that you are staying at a "Hotel".  If you will be staying with friends or family, then their address would be appropriate.   If you do not know where you will stay, now is a good time to figure that out.

 

3) In the context of the K1 visa, "other persons traveling with you" would refer to derivative K2 visa holders.  If there are no derivative K2s traveling with your fiance, the answer is NO.

 

4) The i-129f petition is not a petition for an immigration Visa, even though it is a pathway for immigration.   A K1 is technically a non-immigrant visa.   A CR1, IR1, or K3 are examples of immigrant visas.  So, in the context of your filing of a i-129f, you have not filed an immigration petition.  Unless there were actual petitions in the past for a CR1, IR1, or K3, the answer is NO.

Tysm!
