  1. Feel free to message me if you want to do a quick Vegas wedding, and I'll send you my phone number. Can get everything done in about an hour from license to certificate in hand. And I don't charge for VJ members.
  2. Take what you can get, your the only one that sees it after you use it to get everything updated. My wife's is now in the safety deposit box at the bank. Used it to get her SS status updated, her drivers license updated, and of course for the passport. Now it sits in a box until the end of time, will probably never look at it again. They might have the printer there if you do it at the USCIS office, but I'm pretty sure they are printed in advance from what I saw, and put in the order of appearance when you check in. To be done with USCIS, I would take whatever they gave me and run. That's what I did, rolling out of that lot like I just completed a 20 year prison sentence. And I wasn't the one who naturalized, but I was so happy to be done.
  3. Once you get the case number from the NVC( call on Friday nights is the best, around 10pm eastern time, they are open to midnight, and you can get thru within 30 min. at that time of night. Have your name, fiancees name, and birthdate, and they are pretty helpful and can give you a estimate when the case number will be ready after your first call. But, call once a week until you can find out when it will be ready, you want the case number, and invoice number if they have it, you can track the status, and once it says ready, you can pay the fees, and schedule the medical and interview. Medical is an easy schedule by phone, and the interview isn't too bad if you check a few times a day, you should be able to snag one quickly. You can go to the US embassy Bangkok webpage and download packet 3 and 4 from the website, I have never seen them send them to anyone. Download them now, so you are ready with what you need. They are available in Thai and English. Go to Bumbgad Hospital as it is the cheapest out of your 2 options, and easy to schedule there. I butchered the hospital name, but you will know what one it is. If your fiancee hasn't gotten any of the required vaccines, hit the Snake Farm in Bangkok ( Red Cross). they are cheaper than the hospital.
  4. Try this link you might have to search nvc fed ex hack, or a mixture of those words. Or even search DHL hack, because I think it's DHL that is used .
  5. If you search the forums for the Fed-ex hack, there is a way to watch for your case being transferred to the embassy in Bangkok from the NVC, then you will kinda have an idea when you may hear from the embassy. For Thailand you have to be proactive. You have to schedule your own interview and medical for the K1. But don't wait for the welcome letter from NVC, those are kinda hit and miss. Watch your case status for it to say ready. Then you can download packets 3 and 4 from the US embassy website for Bangkok, it has all the steps and what you need to do and bring. You should be able to pull off an interview within a month of the embassy receiving your packet if you have things ready to go. Go review the steps at the embassy page and be ready to fill out the DS-160, and then you can get into the scheduling system. The tough part is getting the interview scheduled, but if you check a few times a day, you can usually snag a spot pretty easily. And the medical is easy to schedule with a phone call, and they usually have plenty of availability.
  6. They will not release the number to you. We went to the SS office the day after my stepson arrived on his FX2 Visa. They had already processed his SS card, and said it was in the mail. They wouldn't give the number though, but it was there. 1 week later it was in the mailbox. I guess it is all automatic now. Came thru LAX, on Nov 09, 2022, shows issue date on SS card as November 10th, so printed the next day.
  7. If you know the questions, it's easy according to my wife. Passed in March of this year. IO started with the questions, and she said she was " In the Zone". We had studied the questions so much she was cranking out answers faster than he could begin the questions. Before she knew it he said " Congratulations" . She was like congratulations what?, he said you passed the test. She didn't even know she hit the first six right off. Only thing she had a little problem with was on the tablet she had to write out the word "senator" as part of a answer, and she had a little issue with the spelling, but IO was cool about it, and just laughed and said, no worries, your good. She said they spent most of the time talking about her son, and how he is here now, and how does she like it in Las Vegas. I hope you get a good IO like she did. She was nervous also, but said it was not as bad as she thought it would be. And like @Crazy Cat has said, being done with USCIS is worth every minute of the interview. I think I was happier she passed then she was knowing no more forms and waiting. She now has her " Coveted" Blue book, and we actually got her Naturalization certificate back in a reasonable time.
  8. Ok, I called the largest Accredited testing center in Nigeria( listed on the embassy website), They closed at 5, and I just got in before they closed. If you have your case number, you can call and talk to them. they have a person that specializes in the DNA testing for the US embassy, and for USCIS. They do it all the time. You do not have to go to the embassy for collection, they laughed pretty hard when I asked them that. You call and make an appointment with them for your kids, they can get you scheduled within a few days easy they said. You will do testing at a location in the US near you ( They are all over). They said it's a 5 min process for each person, and they will take your results, and the kids results, put them all together, and they have to deliver them to the right department/person at the embassy. They maintain the complete "chain of custody" thru out the whole process, and they have to deliver the results to the embassy. Whole process takes about a week usually, so not 5 years. It's not cheap from my understanding, they told me 200,000 N to 300,000 N per test. Sounds like a lot of cash to me, but I didn't convert it. Here is the website with all the contact information. If your in the US you can contact the closest center to you, and they should be able to help. Get started on Monday, and you can have the results at the embassy by the following Monday. https://www.dnacenternigeria.com/immigration-dna-tests
