    This is common; it happened to my spouse as well. It takes them a few days or a couple of weeks to finish their processing and to print your visa. Be patient; the site will update soon enough.

    After you pay for a service such as the CES Professional Report, you will find a link under "My Dashboard" containing the status of all the documents you've submitted (transcripts, licenses etc). You can upload your passport using this link. I don't think we were able to upload the passport at first; we had to pay for their service first.

    We paid for their CES Professional Report have have started the process of submitted the forms and transcripts from her nursing schools and licensing authority. The process could take several months because we have to do everything from the US and most Japanese schools are still paper based for their records.

    She is from Japan.

    Details for NY are at https://www.op.nysed.gov/professions-index/nursing. Note the different choices depending on whether you are applying for RN, NP, CNS or LNP.

    Just echoing what others have already said about looking into the requirements of the state in which you'll reside. Each state has specific requirements regarding foreign nursing license/education credential evaulation, criminal background checks, English proficiency requirements etc. I know because I am now helping my spouse wade through the requirements of the Texas Board of Nursing. Good luck!

    USCIS responded today (March 11) with "We need additional time before replying to you with information about your case" in response to my service request dated Feb 14, 2024. They asked me to submit another SR if we don't receive the GC or more updates from them within 45 days. I am thinking this will turn out to be a new biometrics needed type situation.

    You can put down "NONE" for this field. That is what I did for my spouse and it was never an issue.

    There are a bunch of Japan related groups on the site that rhymes with "Read It" where I see frequent discussions about seeking work there for expats/gaikokujin. I hope things work out for you soon!

    I was able to add my spouse to my employer provided health insurance during the annual enrollment period. Our portal only asked for her name and DOB. The provider is Cigna, if it matters.

    Civil documents such as the police report and birth certificate are for the foreign beneficiary. See https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/immigrate/the-immigrant-visa-process/step-5-collect-financial-evidence-and-other-supporting-documents/step-7-collect-civil-documents.html for the official requirements. As the USC petitioner, steps 4 & 5 apply to you. This includes the I-864, your proof of US citizenship and US domicile and marriage certificate. If you or spouse were previously married then a original divorce decree or certified copy must also be uploaded which shows the dissolution of the previous marriage. Good luck!
  28. InaneTripe
    The final decree of divorce from Georgia is sufficient. However, be sure that your partner brings the certified copy issued by the relevant county or court when they attend their interview. Basically, they need the piece of paper with the raised stamp and all the wording that declares the divorce to be final or absolute. Good luck!

    I totally understand the difficulties of living in JST but working American hours. I was lucky because my co-workers are in PT and being an earlier riser, I was able to schedule meetings their afternoons which was ideal for me in Japan. I did my actual work, which requires no back and forth with others, whenever it was convenient in JST. I cannot imagine how we'd have handled the ~17 month wait if this hadn't been possible. The new house and all its attendant expenses is certaintly a concern. Are you considering one of those 1/3 year Japanese spousal visas? They ought to be available in relatively short time provided the Certificate of Eligibility is obtained from the relevant Japanese ministry. And then there is the challenge of job hunting in Japan... All the best in your endeavors!

    I see, thanks. My wife hasn't yet received her GC but the CBP officer did write "IR1" in her passport stamp along with her A-number. Fingers crossed that she will get a 10 year GC.

    My wife is amongst those who never received her SSN despite having checked the DS-260 entry. You'll find many others here in this situation. We had to visit the local SSA office and submit the SS-5 form with the relevant documentation. The card then arrrived 8 days after the office visit.
