I have my number, so as long as I don’t need my actual card for things, I should be good. I noted I would like a new card on the forms, so I guess it’s a waiting game until those get approved

.. 2 days ago. LOL!!! I'm just an anxious human

Wonder if anyone sent to the Dallas lockbox recently. It feels weird being out of status and not having a NOA to show

I appreciate the advice guys!! I’ll go look for a smaller chain near me and just go in and see. Y’all took away a lot of my nerves!!!

It's been delivered to the PO! Yippie.

Hmm, I probably will have to wait until I get a receipt or NOA on my 485 since my I-94 expires in 2 days then. I’ll look into it, thank you!!

Interesting! I googled and it said banks require the physical card

Hi y'all!! Okay, here's my situation. I applied for my SSN 2 weeks after coming to the US. Nov 16th I think. I never got the card in the mail. I have my SSN, but not the card. We had an appointment to see what was going on, but we didn't bring all my stuff like birth certificate etc, so she couldn't do anything but give me my number. Ok, that's something right? (There was a lot of time between applying and this appointment because there was a 3!!! week wait for appointments and then I obviously made one on the day they closed for the death of president Carter....) Now, my K1 expires jan 30th. 2 days. I called to see what they exactly needed to issue a new card. She said because my I-94 expires within 15 days, they can not issue me anything until I can provide anything about my currrent status. I'm GUESSING that a receipt of filed 485 would be enough, but she couldn't give me a clear answer on that. I don't have my receipt yet, so I can't do anything yet. But this whole thing is just vague.. Does anyone know what exactly I need, or if I even can do anything until I get my I-765 approved? I'm honestly clueless and feel defeated lol

No worries haha, you're usually so good with editing it out, figured I'd help

Oh awesome, I didn't realise it was a thing!! (You can still see Jaycel's name in the file name)

I'm not sure exactly if every consulate does the same thing, but mine did, I had to leave my passport with them after I got approved for the K1 visa, and I didn't get it back until a week+ later. Just incase you were considering traveling right after the interview!

I have everything in an envelope and we're sending it off later today.. SCARY. I'm worried we don't have enough evidence for the marriage but fingers crossed.

I emailed the ones dat did mine and they emailed it to me in a PDF. Funnily enough it has big letters saying 'GIVE COPY TO PATIENT' but they never did.

Same! As long as they don’t send me out of the country haha. I would love to get my advanced parole before Christmas, so I can visit my parents. But we’ll see! I wish I knew!! But I doubt they know themselves honestly

Definitely. Then I can breathe again, and fight for my social security card. I’m tired of fighting!!!! Just hope the new administration won’t cause any issues

Yeah, that’s exactly what I’m thinking. I’m way too afraid that something goes wrong!!

Good to know, I’ll copy your example!! The fedex store is a little further and my husband works 6a-6p, sigh, so I might go with UPS. Unless I can give it at a Ton Thumb location too, but idk.. feels sketchy

Thank you!! I’m wondering if there’s any ‘good’ senders and any ‘bad’ senders. I’m looking at sending it through UPS right now

Everything is assembled! Gonna post it tomorrow. Have to, since I’m almost out of status

Nope! Made a new appointment to get it resent. It’s a headache.

It can be a reason they deny it, yes. It doesn’t have to be, but it definitely can. If you can, before the interview, I would meet up again. Even if it’s for a week

Thankyou! I've added it now! I've decided to just do the i-131 online once I have proof that the 485 has been received etc. I need 2 passport photos and we only got the 4 we need for the 485 and 765. Sighhhhhh... It's okay though. No rush on that one. Edit: Just found out I can't do it online due to our category. Sigh. This stuff is headache inducing.

Okay thank you! Guess I'll have to write up something myself for this one 😛 Thank you for making this process so much easier for me.

Oh you're amazing, thank you!! Also quick question for you, did you file a I-131 as well? If so, did you make a separate cover letter for it? I'm currently compiling to send everything off, exciting.

Hey Jared, question! What do you mean with 'o Cover Letter RE: medical exams for K-1 Non-Immigrant Visa holders adjusting status who have completed a medical exam abroad within one year of filing form I-485'?
