Which vaccines did you get since your medical in London? Did you have to pay for the supplementary medical as well?

If you go on to their website it will tell you the packaging requirements and the rules regarding items that can be shipped and can't be shipped

I used Send My Bag after someone on this forum recommended them on a previous post of mine. UPS were the courier that then collected them and then delivered them about a week and a half later. Price wise I found them better than going direct through the other couriers but I do know of other people who have gone direct through the couriers and got a better price so it depends really. Process is pretty easy - Quote, Order, Complete customs paperwork, Package items, Courier collects and then Courier delivers but the website is relatively easy to understand and follow these steps

Hi all, Just an update on this - I had my SSN appointment yesterday and was told I should receive it within 2 weeks. Hopefully I will receive it soon so I can start building my credit score as per what the Credit Agency told my fiancee when she contacted them when advised to by her credit card provider

Hi all, Just an update on this. Had my SSN appointment yesterday at the local SSA Office yesterday. Booked the appointment online (I would recommend this as well as it saves a lot of time) and the appointment last about 10 minutes. I took my Birth Certificate, I-94 and Passport with me as well. They asked me some questions and to confirm that the information I had provided on my application was correct and I confirmed that it was. They then said it should be with me within 2 weeks.

Sorry that has happened to you. Hope you get it sorted soon

I provided signed letters of intent from both me and my fiancee when I had my interview at the London Embassy after the NOA2 had expired and they were ok with so I would definitely recommend that you do this

That's great - thank you for letting me know! Glad you managed to find a civil surgeon for a decent price as well

Have they given a reason why there is a delay?

Ahh that's good then! We were able to get our license in California about a week and a half ago and a SSN wasn't required (although I'm aware there can potentially be some variances by State, etc) and the license is valid for 90 days. Hopefully you don't have to travel too far to go to the place where you can get a license without an SSN.

Sorry to hear that Is that next available date to go to the Office or to get married?

Is this from the USCIS website? As this is useful to know

It's definitely not the easiest to sort out when it comes to HMRC. My P85 has been received but when looking at their response times they said it could be the 17th January 2025 at the latest that I get a response regarding it. I do have another issue with HMRC though where one of my previous employers has duplicated my salary and tax paid resulting in them thinking I haven't paid enough tax (about £1k) for the tax year 2022-2023 so after having speaking to them, I have contacted my employer at the time and asked them to amend their RTI submission. They haven't replied to me yet after 3 working days but my manager from my time working there has said she is willing to help get this sorted out for me which is good. HMRC have put the case into query for 6 months while this gets sorted out as well. I'm glad you have managed to get some things sorted out now as well. I have been added to my fiancees Gas+Electric bill, Water bill, Credit Card and Costco Account (not that this one is too relevant). Got my SSN appointment next Monday and then once I have received that I will look to get a bank account. Also in the process of scheduling our wedding ceremony.

Sorry that it is taking so long for you. Have you decided on a new wedding date seeing as you have gone past the 12th December 2024 now?

Same here - they didn't say anything about the annotation on my K1 Visa either when I was at San Francisco

Thank you both for the advice!

We got our marriage license a week ago and my fiancee did ask if we needed an SSN to get married and she said that we didn't. I think I am more concerned that after applying for the SSN whether getting married before physically receiving it would cause some issues with the SSA that was all. Although it's good that they confirmed yours verbally to you!

Hi, I have my SSN appointment at our local SSA Office on the 23rd December 2024 as I want to get my SSN before getting married (as that seems to have been the best option recommended rather than get married first and then apply for the SSN), however, I was just wondering whether after applying for the SSN whether I need to physically receive it in order for us to get married? Or would it cause issues if we get married after applying for it but while it is being processed and before being delivered? As I know that sometimes from some posts on the forum there have been issues with the SSN when applying for it after getting married first. Apologies but this is something I have only just thought of so any advice or knowledge that anyone has on this would be greatly appreciated. We will more than likely wait until I have physically received the SSN but I just wanted to ask that was all. Hope you can help!

Hi all, Just an update on this - have submitted my P85 today.

Sorry for the late response on this - that's understandable though. I have also managed to resolve the issue I had with this as well

Hi all, Just an update on this - I went to the mobile phone provider that my fiancee uses yesterday and they were able to add a USA number (they made this my primary number as well) to my phone as well for no extra fee.

Hopefully that all gets sorted quickly for you mate!

Hi all, I am travelling to the USA tomorrow and just done the online check in and entered my visa details. It says I am checked in but that the travel document details I have entered aren’t valid for this flight and that the boarding pass isn’t available to print and to collect it at the airport? I have double checked the visa details to make sure that they are correct as well. Is this just for the staff there to review my K1 Visa details to make sure that everything is correct? Has anyone else had the same situation before as well? Hope you can help!

Thank you Tesco! How are things going with your Visa application?
