I think i still believe with that. Somewhat.

me too.. im actually prone to "usog"..
and i think the guy from the other unit, nausog nya ata ako..
i was going to the laundry area last night to pick up the laundry..
there's a guy who just came home from work, tryin to go inside his condo unit..
and he greeted me, i think nausog nya ako last night..
cos after that i suddenly felt sick, seriously sick.. my tummy ached for no reason..

QUOTE (skyblue06 @ Aug 20 2008, 11:17 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

kinda because sometimes it happens with no other reason than to think he was "nausog"

yeah.. just like what happened to me last night..

QUESTION ON E-TICKET

QUOTE (rubchett @ Aug 3 2008, 06:03 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

HELLO:)

I READ IN ONE OF THE POSTS HERE ONE TIME (BUT COULDNT REMEMBER THE LINK ANYMORE) THAT A COPY OF THE CREDIT CARD OF THE FIANCE IS NEEDED ONCE HE IS THE ONE WHO BOUGHT YOUR TICKET.

HE BOOKED ME FOR A FLIGHT IN NORTHWEST AIRLINES, USED HIS VISA CARD, AND SENT ME THE CONFIRMATION NUMBER, AND I JUST PRINTED THE RESERVATION AND RECEIPT FROM NWA WEBSITE. IS THE RESERVATION SUMMARY I GOT ENOUGH DOCUS TO PRESENT TO NWA COUNTER AT THE AIRPORT TO GET MY BOARDING PASS?

THANKS:)

call NWA and confirm ur flight before leaving and u can also ask them if u have other concerns..

for the pre-screener print 5 pages of chats or emails per month..
and also for the pictures put some in a folder cos it wont fit at the window if you'll put them on an album..
then bring extras so just in case consul wants more evidence you'll be ready..

If you come here as K1, then the first order of business is really/should be.... your relationship to the petitioner and not finding jobs.

For lack of better words... K1s are conditional until you're married to their USC fiances. Only then you can adjust status and apply for "Employment Authorization Document".

who doesnt know that??

we all know k1 is a fiance/e visa..
the thing is the SSA site has misleading info..
if u would read it carefully, it says k1 can work..
but oh well, as everybody said k1 CANT work..

just to react on the highlighted part, k1s dont need SSN to apply for marriage license..

Correct Most states will issue a marriage license without requiring an SSN, however there are a few states that do require SSN for a marriage license, Tennessee is one that comes to mind.

really?? hmm... do u know why they require that??
sorry yuanddan for askin.. im just curious..

cos i think that would be a hassle when it comes to changing the name on SSN..
like from maiden name to married name..

They have it there to instruct SSA workers to issue SSN to K-1 holders, they will do this up to 76 days of entry to the USA, you may notice the other K-Visas K-2,3,4 are not "work auth", this is because they do not need SSN to apply for a marriage license, K-3 is already married, and K-2,4 are children.

thanks for the reply..

ok now im so confused..
why in the hell would they put that on their site when it's "a thing just for their workers"..
i mean people would see that and be misled by that info..

You got that from SSA, SSA considers K-1 work auth with or without EAD in order to issue an SSN. SSA is not the department that gives work auth DHS does. SSA will mark K-1's SSN card with "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION" this will indicate to an employer to request to see additional evidence of work authorization, that is EAD stamp, EAD card, Green-card etc..

NOTE: K-1 is not a work visa, it is a fiancee visa for entry to the USA and marriage, K-1 is "Work Auth" primarily to be able to get the SSN, some states are strict in their interpretation of a federal law that requires persons applying for a "license" to have SSN, this can cause a problem with marriage license if only one person has SSN and the other (the K-1 holder) does not.

This subject comes up often on the board.

i dnt get why they have that on their site..

k1 peeps can work!?!

ok now im confused.. click the link above and check..
people say k1 peeps cant work without authorization/permit..
but in my understanding with this thing that ive read..
from the link above.. section C (Policy - Employment Authorization by Class of Admission) part 1 (Aliens Work Authorized Without Specific DHS Authorization)
it says we CAN!

C. Policy - Employment Authorization by Class of Admission

The following policy applies to employment authorization by class of admission:
1. Aliens Work Authorized Without Specific DHS Authorization

The following sections list nonimmigrants, by alien class of admission codes, who are authorized to work in the U.S. without specific authorization from DHS. The person’s I-94 will not have the DHS employment authorization stamp and the alien will generally not have an EAD.

For those with an asterisk (*), the principal alien, spouse, and child all have the same classification code. In some instances, both the husband and wife are both principal aliens when the classification is E-1, E-2. Accept their statements that both are principals.

For those with a double asterisk (**) (non-immigrant E-1, E-2, and L-2 classifications), the spouse is also authorized to work without specific DHS authorization. The E-1, E-2, and L-2 spouse is not required to apply to DHS for an EAD card as documentary evidence of work authorization but may choose to do so. When the E-1, E-2, or L-2 spouse applies for an SSN card and does not submit an EAD as evidence of employment authorization, he/she must submit, in addition to evidence of immigration status, evidence of a marital relationship to the principal E-1, E-2, or L-1 alien. The evidence of marital relationship between the applicant and the principal E-1, E-2, or L-1 alien is a marriage document (indicating the marriage occurred prior to admission to the U.S. as an E-1, E-2, or L-2 non-immigrant).

NOTE: Ask the alien whether he/she is the principal alien who is authorized to work or the spouse, child or other dependent of the principal alien and see RM 00203.500C.1., RM 00203.500C.2., and RM 00203.500C.3. when the alien is the spouse (other than an E-1, E-2 or L-2 spouse) or child.

Class of Admission: (from the table at the site)
K-1 = Fiancé(e) of U.S. citizen

am i right??

I have an annulled marriage when my fiancee filed a K1 petition for me. After the approval, when I was preparing for interview, I found out that I have an existing marriage. It was fake ofcourse, I didnt know about it. To make the long story short... I postponed my interview, filed for annulment and just recently the court declared it null and void ab initio. Now Im pushing through with my interview, armed with these court papers. So what do you guys think?
