Of course I can get one in the USA as well but my query was more specific to the UK side of things

Hi all, My workplace is offering free Flu vaccines for employees which I am interested in having. I didn't have the Flu vaccine when I had my medical which was near the end of June as it wasn't Flu season. I had my K1 visa approved last month but am not travelling over to the USA until December. I wanted to know if anyone has had a Flu vaccination through their employer and whether when it came to the AOS that the Flu vaccine from employer was accepted at all? I did ask my company if they can provide proof of vaccination but all they said was I could talk to the nurse about what vaccine I have had which didn't really answer my query. I imagine this answer might depend on when the AOS is filed and if during Flu season in the USA (not too sure on this so any advice would be greatly appreciated!). Hope you can help!

I agree with consolidating accounts and just having 1 UK bank account.

It's not 90 days - it's usually 6 months as a standard so around 180 days.

Apologies but I think I have mentioned earlier in this post what the results of my discussion were with my mobile phone network provider?

I’m not sure you actually need a contract for this as when I spoke to my mobile network provider they said I didn’t need one and that I can just top up credit online or via the app as and when I need it.

Yeah I did check the K1 Visa in my passport since I last posted and I have the same annotation on it so would be good to see how this went as well.

I would speak to your mobile phone network provider about it if you haven't done so already. I didn't have any experience or much knowledge about it but after I rang mine and discussed it with them I came away feeling a lot more knowledgeable and confident about the whole process. Some bits might be slightly different depending on the mobile phone network provider and the phone

And the transfer fee with the bank might be higher than if you do it through another party/provider

You can transfer money from a UK bank account to a USA bank account but there can be a transfer fee for doing so depending on which bank you are with

Brilliant - thank you for letting me know Edward 🙂

That is pretty good in terms of delivery date after the SSA appointment. Does it require a signature on delivery or will it just be posted in the mailbox?

I did think there would have been instructions for this document just like there was with the I-134 form so thank you for confirming this

Apologies - I was replying from my phone so I didn't see the details below on your profile which I'm surprised by as I think normally I can see them. I think it makes sense what you are doing with the AOS though as it gives you plenty of time to get the relevant documents and to prepare the file before filing it

Thank you for the advice. How long after getting married did you file your AOS?

I think it is best for me to apply for one about 2 weeks after travelling to the USA and before getting married and filing the AOS.

That sounds a long time to wait for an SSN.

So you have been waiting a few months for yours? Thank you for letting me know!

I actually had just googled this and found it just before you both posted haha thank you though!

I shall look at doing this online then - where do we get the I-94 from?

Brilliant - thank you! Brilliant - thank you!

Ahhh I see - how long does it take to fill out the application online?

Did you have to prebook an appointment or did you just turn up to the Social Security Office?

Sounds like it is best to do within 2 weeks after travelling to the USA

Thank you - I really appreciate that!
