  1. it’s required before they let you board, but can be done at airport. The requirement is a US thing that airlines have to do.
  2. 15 days isn’t unusual. I wouldn’t worry. I’m sure it will come this week. Do you have the tracking info?
  3. hi. Did the officer say congratulation etc and keep your passport? In which case everything is fine and I wouldn’t worry about the status. Those things aren’t always quite up to date anyway. You’ll have your passport and visa in a few days. London doesn’t take long (mine was 8 days including a bank holiday weekend)
  4. yes you are correct. Def different state to state. I think several are 12 months but there’s def some that are not. Just another one of the quirks of which state you move to! good catch/correction
  5. I took my passport and my green card, plus my social security number you can drive on your U.K. licence for up to 12 months in US
  6. im not an expert on NH, but from what I can see, you are unable to get a drivers licence there if you are on a K1 visa
  7. hi. You don’t ‘transfer’ your U.K. licence. It has no relevance to the state. You need to go whatever the local state requires as if you were getting a licence for the first time (written and or driving test) depending on which state it is. I moved to California and had to pass the online test then do a fairly simple 20 min driving test. Some states are similar, many are easier. this is how you get one in NH https://www.dmv.nh.gov/drivers-licensenon-driver-ids/apply-your-first-drivers-licensenon-driver-id
  8. hi. You have the dates and info, just in a kinda jumbled up way. you can file 751 to remove conditions on a CR1, 90 days before it expires. This will take many months to process (often 1-2 yrs) so they issue you a temporary extension to your current one whilst that is processing. Then approx 1 yr later once you have been married AND LIVING TOGETHER (very important) for 3 years, you can file n400 for citizenship application. You are correct - this cannot be approved without your 10 yr green card being issued too, but they do allow you to apply, and in most cases this speeds up the process above and you end up with a combined interview/process. Hope that helps. Plenty of guides and info on here about each one of those. Best of luck!
  9. exactly same for me too. I think I prob entered 6 times using ESTA whilst my 130 was processing (mixture of holiday and work trips)
  10. don’t forget though that the U.K. tax year runs April to April so any tax paperwork etc issued by U.K. will not exactly cover the 12 months to align with US tax year
  11. you are correct. Real ID is US/domestic flights only. However an international passport (provided valid and in date etc) is basically real ID anyway. If you have the passport there is not any specific need for anything else. The only benefit to having real id is so you don’t need to carry your passport on domestic only flights plus it’s marginally quicker for TSA but I’m splitting hairs. Don’t worry. Foreign passport is perfect still.
  12. why would that give you an expedited visa?
  13. ah. Yes you may be right. I was talking about the social security number/card. Apologies
  14. sadly not. Wish you could. And tbh there’s only about a 50% chance you’ll actually receive it too without having to go down to your local social security office. There’s plenty of people on here (incl me) who did everything right…yet never received the card through the post.
  15. this is 100% true, but ironically they actually DO provide a calculator!! Wish more people would use it! https://www.uscis.gov/forms/uscis-early-filing-calculator
