  1. That sounds a long time to wait for an SSN.
  2. So you have been waiting a few months for yours? Thank you for letting me know!
  3. I actually had just googled this and found it just before you both posted haha thank you though!
  4. I shall look at doing this online then - where do we get the I-94 from?
  5. Brilliant - thank you! Brilliant - thank you!
  6. Ahhh I see - how long does it take to fill out the application online?
  7. Did you have to prebook an appointment or did you just turn up to the Social Security Office?
  8. Sounds like it is best to do within 2 weeks after travelling to the USA
  9. Thank you - I really appreciate that!
  10. Thank you for the advice - how long after the SSA visit did it take for you to receive your SSN?
  11. I don’t think that they do as when you select some categories you can then select the relevant form and then the relevant service centre and the timelines do vary between the I-131 forms on there.
  12. Hi all, I have read that the recommendation is to apply and get the SSN before getting married which is what we are likely to do, however, has anybody applied for it after getting married and if so were there any issues? Hope you can help!
  13. Me and my fiancé both signed separate letters of intent as well
  14. Thank you both for your point of view. I completely understand both points of view as well. The timelines are interesting as I have seen people receive theirs fairly quickly but have also seen people still waiting for theirs as well. It is a lot of money to spend as well. I think me and my fiancée have both said it would be a good thing for me to have but we don’t want to be waiting ages for it. I looked on the USCIS processing times for the Advanced Parole applications for the California Service Centre and it said 80% of cases are usually processed in within 14.5 months. Of course this is just a guide and timelines can vary.
  15. They kept the I134 I provided at my visa interview as well
  16. Hi all, Just wondering if anybody has to applied and paid for the Advanced Parole option at all? And if so how long did it take for it to be approved/processed? As this is something I am looking at doing at the moment. Hope you can help!
  17. Hi, Thank you for getting back to me and letting me know. Just wanted to ask as I will be handing my notice in at work in the next 5-7 weeks and I wasn’t aware of getting tax back until another member on the forum mentioned it to me yesterday.
  18. @j26 did you manage to cancel the return journey? Did you have to pay any amendment or cancellation fees and did you get a refund?
  19. Do you know if they refund you all the tax you have paid in the tax year or a % of what you have paid in tax for this tax year? Apologies - I did some reading on this yesterday but I haven't looked at it all in depth yet.
  20. No worries - free is always preferable of course haha I think I might have one of those annotations on my K1 visa. I will have to check but its good to have found out what the different annotations mean as well.
  21. Boots do private Covid vaccination for just under £100 if you are looking for a Covid vaccine booster before you travel. If not then I imagine you would get one in the USA.
  22. That's understandable - makes sense to sort things out no instead of leaving it until later
  23. Hi, Just to give an update on this. I spoke to my network provider earlier and they said I could change to a pay as you go plan and keep my phone number but that I need to give them 30 days notice to change me from my contract to pay as you go. They said I have an option in my contract where I don’t need to pay an extra fee. Also they said I just top up £10 of credit as and when online or on the app, I don’t need a new SIM card and that I could dual SIM with a US phone number as well. I just need to call or text every 6 months just to make sure I keep active on their network but it was a very helpful call.
  24. No worries! I can imagine that there is a lot to do and sort out. When are you travelling over to the USA?
