Headed up to Pigeon Forge next week for their $299 -1hr plus 12-4x6's Special. Did you know you could get a King Room with a carpeted hot tub for $54/night on the strip? 😂

We are sending my AOS application today, without sounding stupid, @Naes can we send our application in Arizona or we should go right ahead by sending it to Chicago lockbox? I've seen some timeline that said their state for AOS when I saw that it should be sent in Chicago. Just need a little enlightenment. Thanks a lot always!

It’s the Chicago filing address for k1 to AOS (check the mail website again-just in case) you can’t unfortunately send it to just any center - they have directions.

 

good luck

Has anybody had difficulty in opening a bank account or a delay in getting a SSN? 

 

I applied for a SSN the day after I arrived and was told it could take 4 weeks to verify my identity. Then when I called my local SSA office this week, they told me they have to submit additional documents to DHS so it will take a further two weeks. I was so disappointed. It's my understanding that you can't open a bank account without a SSN. Am I correct?

Yeah many people this year is getting mismatch and verification. I did too, however it was pretty quick. got mine in 3 weeks.

 

that depends on the bank. Adding to joint account easier and in most cases ssn not necessary. I got added to my husbands even before moving to US.

 

some banks letsyou open a bank account without ssn but you need to show address (utility bills etc.) so it may be harder than getting add to a joint account.

So just copy over whatever required.  you do wonder why we have to send everything again when really all the USCIS need to see is the marriage certificate , but that's the civil service the world over it just loves paperwork I guess. I don't miss drama at all, I am getting to old for drama, I want a nice quite life  that's why you won't catch me watching 90 day fiancé ….. I have a strong urge to kick the tv screen in! 

It seems that we have 4 envelopes coming in todays mail from the USCIS...… they look the same as the ones people have scanned on the VJ pages....  it's going to be a long wait till 4 or 5 pm when the mail guy gets here...…..

Update:  We got 3 x NOA1's covering all 3 parts of the AOS and a biometrics appointment on Oct 10 at 11am about 20 minutes away downtown in Milwaukee. Another step along the way!

Aw, some people are so lucky to get the biometrics appointment close to home.. mine is like 3 hours away, and it’s gonna be my wife’s busiest day at work, so I’ll take a bus to get there alone.. anyone else as lucky as me?
