    I would take it right to the FedEx Store or UPS Store.... again my OCD. LOL
  3. Edward and Jaycel
    @Rachel n Tyler Also each physical address used for UPS & FedEx deliveries for the lockboxes has an "ATTN" line in it. We wrote it in big letters, in sharpie, on the envelope, twice because we're OCD like that LOL Don't know if it made a difference? See below:

    We sent via Fed-Ex 2 day with Direct Signature service. Got there on Monday and we had a text with our receipt numbers by that Friday and had the letter with the online access code the following Tuesday

    And MLK Jr. Day on 1/20/2025... plus a lot of government employees use some of their vacation days to extend those federal holidays into 4-5 day weekends and/or weeks off, so add in USCIS being short staffed basically for the whole of the last 6 weeks

    This is accurate, we were able to fill out Jaycel's application online at ssa.gov but for K-1 you have to go to the SSA office to complete it. They informed us that an appointment would be necessary and that was back in September. It was all very painless though. We were called to the window exactly at our appointment time and the SSA rep was kind and efficient and finished processing her application in about 10 minutes and she had her card in the mail 7 days later. We were so glad to get it because by the time we filed the AOS paperwork we had a month's worth of joint bank and credit card statements to include as evidence of co-mingling our finances.

    Yes, and for this reason, Jaycel carries her passport, her EAD and a copy of her I-485 NOA1 in her purse wherever she goes so that she has proof until she gets her green card.

    FYI - Unless you are active duty military, you have to exceed 125% of the poverty guidelines, not 100%

    We got Jaycel's SSN about a week after she arrived (In her maiden name). This allowed us to add her as a joint account holder on my bank account and credit cards. Then when we filed the I-485 and I-765, we filled in her SSN where it asks on the forms, checked all the yes boxes (i.e.: "Do you want the SSA to send a new cad?) and used the forms to do her name change by putting her new, married name in the "Legal Name" section of each form. When her I-765 got approved, 7 days later she received her new SSN in the mail with her married name on it. (It still has the disclaimer, "Not Valid for Employment Without DHS Authorization", which is fine because she now has her EAD Card. We also did the SSN part on the I-485 so that, when approved, the SSA will send her a new card with that disclaimer removed.

    This is from the official website for the US Consulate in Ciudad Juarez If your visa is approved, we will keep your passport at the Consulate while we prepare your immigration packet and print a visa for your passport. We will return your passport and complete visa packet to you by DHL courier at a later date (see Step 1). If you have to travel within Mexico while your passport is still with us, please make sure you have a valid picture ID other than your passport. Here is their website regarding visa processing if you want to become an "A" student on the process.... I highly recommend learning as much as possible well beforehand so that you can be fully prepared https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/us-visas/Supplements/Supplements_by_Post/CDJ-Ciudad-Juarez.html

    This is what we've done for all of our applications with USCIS so far

    What country are you coming from? Maybe we can provide some specifics.... Once you file your case, please fill out your timeline so that your experience can help others

    This is no longer true in many cases - When you get to the point where you will be scheduling your interview with the embassy, most embassies will have you register with a website that they use to gather your beneficiary's info, pay the visa fee and schedule the interview. At that time you will also give them the address where you want the passport with the visa in it delivered. For Jaycel's interview in Manila, we actually selected the option to pick up her passport at the courier's office in the Mall of Asia there in Manila.

    Glad to help in any way.... We are all on this maddening journey together so we may as well help each other out right? Just pay it forward and help out the ones that come after you and we will continue to keep this site a refuge for others (I know, so dramatic but we really feel like we couldn't have done all this ourselves without the resources and of course the amazing people here on VJ 😁)
