US Immigration from United Arab Emirates

My writing in the lines provided on the form, is this enough and OK? Would appreciate some feedback. Thanks

"we were living together in qatar from oct2021 to June2022. We also traveled together to india in March 2022. Additional information and evidence of 5 year in-person relationship attached in filing."

We will be attaching our lease agreement & rent receipt copies which have our names on it, passport stamps & boarding pass of India travel as evidence for the 2year time frame.

We will also be including similar documentation and photos of our 5 years together in Qatar, as evidence for bona-fide relationship.

I currently live in UAE with my husband and we are starting the process of applying for CR-1. We originally filed for K-1 back in August 2021 but that process was taking forever (our case still hasn't even been looked at) so we got married a few months back. One thing I am confused about is, does the US embassy in Abu Dhabi accept the physical application? Like do I drop it off there? Or do I need to mail it to the US from here? Thanks.

Hi, apologies if this has been asked before, but I could only find 1 thread on this and both a "yes" and a "no" answer to the question.

We are filling the I-129F form now, and part 2 item 2 asks for beneficiary's a number (if any). My fiance was in the US 6 yrs ago on an f1 student visa. Would the A number assigned to her back then on that f1 visa be what goes into the i129f part 2 item 2 Beneficiary A number??

Anyone who was in the same boat before, what did you do?

Thanks

What is this? what is 2 marriage certificates? I submitted the English one with all the attestations

Please help. Thanks.

Hi all,

Apologies if this has been answered already.

I am writing to understand if I can work while waiting for my SSN.

I will start a new job hopefully 1 week after I get my passport back from the embassy where I currently reside. I will travel soon-after my passport is returned to me with the temp stamp (hopefully no AP!). CR-1 case. Moving to California.

I understand that I can work without an SSN (see point 3 on this link) : it's just that it'll take additional steps for my future employer to register me without an SSN, and as long as I can provide an SSN prior to the conclusion of the current tax year (so they can withhold taxes)

My questions are as follows:

• Is the above understanding correct?
• Is it common for employers to do this?
• Is there a chance the employer refuses to do this additional and asks me to wait it out/rescind the offer?
• How long does it take for an SSN to arrive?

Many thanks in advance!
