So that's actually how it works? Interesting. Well this looks like the answer I needed so thanks for the info.

Thanks for the info. Now, social security number notwithstanding, what should we do in the mean time as far as her name goes and what name to put on the health insurance? Because the health insurance needs to be done asap.

She doesn't have a social security number because she is an immigrant.

So, I understand that I have 60 days to add my wife to my health insurance. We just got married 2 weeks ago, and I had a question about what exact name to put for her for the insurance, the one she has now on her passport or the one she wants to be called now that we're married. She wants to add my last name to her name, but so far there's nothing official for that. When filing the marriage certificate we were told not to put my last name on the form and to change it afterwards "just call this number and give them your social" is what she said to my wife, but she doesn't have a social. The clerk didn't elaborate on this, I suspect because she either didn't understand my wife's immigration status or wasn't sure what else to tell us.

Everything was such a blur that I forgot about this thread but we did get approved. Shes been in the US for 3 weeks and we just got married yesterday!

That's exactly what I was thinking. As long as that's a response that they are used to hearing, then that puts my mind at ease. I think this is more about me being really nervous and trying to make sure that we have no issues.

We have our k1 interview Friday. So, I've read that its a good idea to be able to provide concrete evidence of wedding plans during the interview. My fiancée and I have not made any plans for a ceremony yet as the time tables have been really uncertain. Also weddings are crazy expensive and I guess were both sort of financially pragmatic when it comes to that. We were planning to just go to the courthouse and get married pretty much ASAP and then maybe plan a small ceremony or even a less formal reception at a later date after taking some time to breathe and save up and work out the logistics. A lot of people I know here in the states do that, so that seems like a normal thing to me. Would a lack of specific plans for an actual ceremony be an issue? Would saying " were gonna go to the courthouse" be fine?

I didn't think this would be an issue but I've been hearing from someone with experience on the matter that if my fiancée says that she's unemployed during the interview process, they're likely to immediately reject it as its "the worst way to answer that question". I'm skeptical because I'm seeing people here on forums saying the opposite and it also just doesn't make any sense to reject a k1 visa for that. Like if you're going to a different country you'd have to quit that job and start from scratch anyway, so what does it matter if you have a job or not? She does have a non profit organization that she co founded, I feel like that should be enough of an answer if they ask, right? This non profit work is also documented on her ds-160 and our i-129f. So, is this a non issue?

Yeah, someone else reached out to me with instructions so were already making plans to get that done. It is a bit of a pain though, her having to go all the way back up there again. I am assuming she has to go the interpol location that's actually in Uganda right?

We've just gotten our packet of instructions from the embassy. But were concerned about the police certificate. She is Kenyan but lived in Uganda for a few years for college, Earlier this year she went back to get a police cert from the Ugandan police, but I read somewhere in another topic that you actually need a yellow form from Interpol and that they wont take the form from the Ugandan police. Can anyone confirm and if so how do we get that form?

In addition to asking in an existing thread Ive decided to start a new topic since that thread seems inactive. My fiancee is kenyan. Were doing a k1 and right now our case is at the US embassy in Kenya. She lived in Uganda for a few years for college. A few months ago, she went to Uganda to get a police certificate from the Ugandan police. But I read in another thread where someone mentioned that you have to have a yellow form from Interpol, not the form from the local police. Can anyone confirm this and if so, where would we start? Would she have to back to Uganda to get that?

Im not sure where to ask this for the best response, but Ill just ask here. My fiancee is kenyan and were doing a k1 and right now our case is at the US embassy in Kenya. She lived in Uganda for a few years for college. A few months ago, she went to Uganda to get a police certificate from the Ugandan police. But I read in another thread someone mentioned that you have to have a yellow form from Interpol, not the local police. Can anyone confirm this and if so, where would we start?

Hmm, it doesn't really specify. It just says "the embassy will contact you directly" Ill tell her to keep an eye on her email. As an aside, this is very exciting and I hope everything goes quickly and smoothly.

So, I just checked CEAC and the case is "Ready" so I'm like panicking a tiny bit, not sure what to do. My question is, how does the embassy actually reach out to the beneficiary with the instruction packet? Through email? Phone? She lives in Kenya so mail doesn't really work as simply you'd expect there. Would they call and ask how to deliver the packet?

Hey, quick question. So I jumped the gun and gathered my affidavit of support documents shortly after NOA2 and now, These supporting documents are now around 3 months old. I heard somewhere they have to be current, no older than 3 months, is this true? If so, I'll need to get working on getting more current documents.
