Im sorry im still a bit confused so i apologize for clarification so please explain to me as if i was 5 years old. If im correct the best thing to do now is go to the SSA and apply for a SSN using her maiden name. Then i fill out all forms 485 765 and 130 with my last name. Now do i still check box and section that i want SSN on those forms? Or say no cause i already applied in person for a SSN at the SSA? Can i submit 485 and rest of documents immediately this week or must i wait till i get SSN in hand with maiden name that i go apply for on monday? Long story short apply for SSN monday with maiden name every other document for 485 use my last name?

Can you explain a bit more im confused. So on i485 and 765 do i check the box of want a SSN? Or just on 485? And do i do it with my last name? Do i still apply independently for SSN next week with her maiden name? Or not at all and only do it through AOS

Whats faster? I honestly dont care if she keeps maiden name or my last name. Shes leaning towards taking mine but we want what ever is quikcer in order to start working and what not

So do you recommend not getting it now and checking the box off in the 485 with my last name?

Hello all hope all is doing well i was wondering if i can get some advice regarding my situation. My fiancee arrived last month on k1 visa and we got married yesterday. It seems from what i have been looking online i made a mistake by not getting SSN prior to marriage? I am going to the SSN office on monday to gather more information but since she will be taking my last name what are the next steps then? Would it be easier if she just keeps her last name? Should i apply for her social now? Or do i check the box for applying for a SSN when i fill out the I-485? Keep in mind i am trying to do the fastest way possible in order for her to get her drivers license open a bank account and work as fast as possible. also does employment authorization and travel authorization all go together with i485 or are the sent or filed separately?

So did i screw up? I just got married today thought i needed to wait for marriage in order to apply for ssn with my wife changing her maiden name to my last name?

Exactly one week

Left the embassy and my fiancee got approved. The relief was massive. I want to thank everyone here for the support throughout this journey and to the others in the waiting pipeline hang in there you will make it. Much love to everyone

No it wasnt really i know every country must be different but she had a good amount of available dates as well as pretty soon. Compared to tourist visas which she said were all a year or 2 out compared to k1. She did say it was 7 or 8 available dates per month like 3 months out.

Fiancee finally has her interview on NOV16. After such a long wait our time has come. I was actually pretty excited but she is so nervous about it that its getting me nervous now. Isnt it safe to assume that if the 129F got approved thats what matters....the interview is just a formality shouldnt be a problem? Or can she still be denied for XYZ

Can somebody clarify something for me my case already says Ready and has been received by the embassy in Bogota. I keep hearing i can now create account and schedule appointment which i have but it keeps saying something about instruction packet or welcome packet and i have no idea what they are talking about. Is this something i need at the visa interview or what?

Wait so im confused too. I just sae case is now ready but i have to wait for packet of instructions so what do i do now? Do i have to wait for that or can i do something in the mean time and who receives the packet me the petitioner or my fiancee?

So mine says in transit interview date has been given to you by NVC but all i got from them was a word document email stating case has been shipped to embassy and to follow instructions on applying for visa on state dept website. Still stick to the portal way of paying fees and scheduling?

So my embassy website takes me to another portal type sign up page to create account and pay visa. Does it matter cause it looks different than yours but similar.

So mine just showed in transit today so what should i expect now? Do DS-160 and wait to be contacted or am i supposed to contact embassy? How do you even schedule medical appoijtment for interview?

How many fees and which fees are they and what was the total?

Is that the only site to pay fees for?

How were you able to pay visa fee where would i do that if i wanted to start knocking somethings out before it ships to embassy? Anything else i should do in the mean time

im sorry im really comfused then so i have a case number only case number. I believe on CEAC it shows AT NVC. So what do i do in the mean time? How do i pay pay fees and where do i send complete affidavit or ds260 i believe. Just want to do what i am supposed to do right now

So i just got my case number but i didnt get invoice id number. Anyone know how and when i get it?

I feel im missing something i got my NOA2 on 11AUG and i have yet to even know if i have a case number or not or how would i even know??

Question, the welcome letter the NVC sends after case creation is it through mail or email?

What can you do once you have a case number??

Thank you i appreciate this. I sent my fiancee and scanned the entire 1-129f so she could have for reference. Do they have to be originals or any document for that matter or are scanned pdfs fine?

Sorry to be a pain being redundant but can anyone explain whats needed document wise after NOA2? Im currently waiting on NVC case number but if i remember right it says im supposed to send my fiancee the entire I-129F packet as well as new letters of intent for marriage is that correct? Also i see two forms of affidavit the I-134 and the I-864 which one do i fill out and to who and when do i send it? Also are pay stubs and W-2 more than enough for proof of income?
