Congrats. The light is shining brightly. Good going.


We had our medicals today. A small fortune later. And I think it went ok. My son needs a vaccine that is not in Australia, but needed for the USA and my eldest daughter hasn't got any chicken pox vaccine records. So we need to get them done and send thru a certificate saying that have been done and our medicals will be complete. 
And just as we were arriving in Melbourne, I got a skype message from my fiance to say that he has packet 3. Doh. It didn't even get sent to me, but he did forward a copy to me. 
But anyway..  Good to hear some people getting good news. Keep your heads high.. I'm going to put my head low on the pillow for some sleep. 
Well wishes to everyone






So glad your medical went well. Don't worry too much about the vaccine in the uk the chickenpox one is not available either. I was told mines not complete till I get to AOS and do medical there. Plus they accept if you have had chickenpox before. The rest you can do in the US. Things are moving for you you will be doing your interview soon.

Hooray we were approved our visa today at the interview. Thank god. Ithe visa will be sent In about 10 days I was told. Got up really early around 5.00 to get ready. It was rainy today and silly me left my umbrella behind. Luckily when I got to the que there was a girl in front of me that was going for a visitors visa who was kind enough to share her umbrella with me.
The embassy was packed full of people all going for diffent visas. It's funny the k1 visa didn't move as quick as the other visas. AnY way after 40 mins of waiting I finally got called up to counter number 1. The lady was a nice Asian lady. She asked me for my interview letter and my number. Then asked me for my police cert and my 2 passport pics. Then my birth certificate. I gave her all of the stuff she asked. She then said where is your daughter. I had to explain again that she didn't come cos she won't be joining me till summer. So she said ok but make sure she joined you in the summer cos the K2 visa has a 1 year limit after that they won't allow her to join again. She said can I fill out the forms for her now so she can make a folder for her for when she comes to interview in June. Luckily I carried all the info of her school etc with me so was able to fill out the ds157 and 156. I handed it back to her and she then told m to put my finger on the screen for finger prints. After that was done she took my passport. And asked for my visa receipt of payment and the courier recipt. She took my passport of me then put it in somekind of plasticky see through folder then gave me my x-Ray film from my medical said I can keep that. She told me o go sit down and wait and someone will call me in for the interview. I sat down for another 15 minutes then my number flashed up on the screen I front again. I went to counter 16 and saw a lovely African American lady who proceeded to tell me to swear that everything was the truth. After I swore she asked me a few questions.

First was how did we meet
When did we meet
How did the relationship progress
Have I been to see him
Have I met his family
Where did we meet again
She kept trying to confuse me cos even though I told her Georgia she said a few times was that in Florida.
She asked when he proposed
When do I plan to go

Then after that she said I am happy to tell you your visa is approved. It will take about 10 days to be couriered to you. When you get the white plastic envelope inside there will be sealed envelope this is what you need to give them at the port of entry in Georgia . Congratulations and good luck with the future. She even printed out all the information that my daughter needs for when she has her interview I.e evidence she needs to bring.

That was my experience happy it is all over and done. On to the next phase which is finding ticket to fly in December it's been a journey I must say. All those still waiting don't worry they really are nice at the embassy and it's just a formality cos they already know they will be giving you a visa. If they didn't they would grill you with more questions. In my interview I never got many she just repeated the same ones twice.

Hope all waiting that filed in may have a good experience too. I will let you guys know once the visa arrives by courier. Thanks everyone for the support really appreciate it and am so glad I have been able to meet such nice people here on the visa journey site.:) :) :)

Good luck to both of you! I think that the anxiety is normal. My fiancee has been feeling pretty nervous. He keeps going over the possible interview questions. He keeps asking what he needs for the interview, what he needs for the medical, and we haven't even got the packet in the mail yet. I am being told that Rio is taking until December which I am still hoping is wrong but I was told we'd get our interview date if we call this week. Until then we are praying for sooner than later! I just want im to get on that plane and come be with me. Relax, I am sure you are gonna do great! Lots of luck! I can't wait to hear how it goes!
 


Thank you bamellis sounds like your almost ready to do your interview too. I will pray when you call them they have a date for you. Congrats on approval.

Hey Nurselling, 
Your headache could be thru worry and stress. Easy for me to say not having interveiw yet, but you'll be fine. Try not to worry. Keep us updated please. 
Just try to remember that they have most likely already made up their minds as to if you are approved or not by the time you get there. Just have all your documents ready should they ask for them. 

I did get a letter from a doctor. Never seen her before, but she wrote a brief history and has pretty much said, that speaking to me, she doesn't believe that I am any risk to myself or others. 
My medical is scheduled for tomorrow. 7hrs of driving to get there. So it's going to be a big day. I'm nervous also, but should be fine. 





You are so right about the stress lol. Anyway the way I see it now is no need to be stressed . If it doesn't kill you it only makes you stronger. Plus only god is my interviewer not any human being and only god can approve or deny me all depends on what he plans for my future. My headache has gone. Positive thoughts now.

You will do just fine with your medical positive thoughts. So glad you managed to get the letter fro the doctor.
I will keep you updated. Do let us know how your medical went.
There another girl from the VJ forum going tomorrow so we decided to look for each other tomorrow give each other support. Positive thoughts everyone :) :)

I called the embassy today and they havent received our "physical file" just the electronic file. They ask me to call back on friday. Thinking I have to move my interview. cray5ol.gif cray5ol.gif cray5ol.gif
 
 

. Hope you get your file in time for your interview. Fingers crossed for you. :)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsHelp please: K1- DS-160 question about vaccinations
It doesn't give you the option to say that. What you need to say is yes. That's how I filled out mine and my interview is next week no problems so far.

Thank you for correcting me. Will it cause delays for the visa? Do i need to have treatment first before they give me a visa?


It won't cause clay but they need to know its not active. You might want talk to your doctor about your status before going to have your medical.

Question, if i have a Hepa B which is hereditary will that cause me problem in medical and not having a visa?

Hep b is not hereditary. It can however be passed on from mother to baby when giving birth.
I don't think you will get a denial as its not on the list of communicable disease. You will have to show some sort of treatment for it.

Hi Friends!
 
I've been in the U.S. for about 10 days now, and we had our civil ceremony this past weekend... yes, I know we moved quick! My grandma was visiting from another province, and so we wanted to have the civil ceremony while she was still visiting :). We filed our marriage license with the county I live in, so now we are officially husband and wife... hurray!
 
We are getting ready to file the Adjustment of Status paperwork, and I had a few questions stemming from when I entered in the US (and advice on what those of you who have filed for Adjustment of Status already would be much appreciated!)
 
We had an incredibly friendly CBP agent, who said we need to file for I-130. This is not a document on the VJ "Step by Step" guide for Adjustment for K-1... so, I do not believe I need to file for this? 
 
Also, he said we should file for I-131 "Advanced Parole" so I could have the option of leaving the U.S. I was considering filling this out, however, the I-131 requires a date and reason for travel of which I have none. Have any of you filed for this?
 
Also, we never received a paper NOA2 approval notice, only an email from USCIS, and the VJ Step by Step guide says we should submit a copy of this along with our application. Wouldnt it be obvious that we were approved initially, since we had an interview, I have a visa in my passport, and that I have already been admitted to the U.S.? I will contact USCIS for a copy of this letter if need be -- but I would hate to pay out of pocket for this letter, to the tune of over $400, even though we never received it in the first place!!
 
 












Hi sjs

I just got my approval for EAD and AP on Thursday gone so the card is in production as of now.
Number one you do not need to file i130 that's for people who did not go the k1 route.
What you need to file is i485 and i131 and i765 the forms can be downloaded here on the site. Pls read all instructions and provide the evidence. Yes you will need your noa2 copy to send with your application. Also make sure you have your tax transcript last 3 years is what I sent and I got no rfe. I also sent 5 pay stubs for my husband. Pls do not forget to include a original of your marriage licence I ordered 4 copies as I have heard sometimes they ask for original. Also copy of your passport visa page and your Canadian pic page. Your husbands birth certificate copy. Do not forget your i94 print out outs online pls attach a copy to each application that you are filing as they are going in diffrent departments make sure you get additional 4 passport pics and attach them to application. Also medical form from when you did k1 medical copy needs to be attached. Put the correct filling fee I attached a cheque. Then mail everything either signed which is what I did or two day express up to you. Then wait for acceptance notice 4 weeks later you will get finger prints letter for biometrics.
Hope this helps. Let us know how you get on and congratulations on the wedding so happy for you.:)

Haha godsrule

Just about to do a k2 for my daughter. Sh is due to come in June from university in Birmingham. She has 3 months vacation before she starts her second year of he chemical engineering degree. Trying to get her paper work in before she goes back. So we are going through the whole interview thing in London again and medical and visa lol. Should hopefully be easier this time round.

Hey Nurselling, I am glad to know things are all working out smoothly for you. Thanks for the update. I hope you guys will still be available to help us understand the process of filing and getting the EAD approved. What does EAD means? For now I just want to be able to pass the POE stage before going further and I hope you won't be too busy to assist when that time comes. I'm really happy to see you have put your ducks in a row already. Stay blessed always sis.


Hi godsrule

No worries am still here to help guide you along with the process just mail me happy to help. EAD stands for employment authorisation and AP stands for advance parole travel document we need to travel outside the United States in a emergency while we are waiting on the green card to be approved.
Once you get to America and get married you need to file the AOS adjustment of Status forms which cost 1077$ consisting of form i485 for green card form I131 application for uscis travel document and form I765 application for employment authorization. Once you file all these together you send them all with the cheque and wait after 4 weeks they write to you to go do your biometrics finger printing. Once you do that you wait again till your approved. When filing make sure you attach all the evidence they need like marriage licence medical form from k1 and passport picture for i94 that you print off online. Passport copy etc. the instructions will guide you.
When your at that stage to file let me know so I can help with any questions. You want to avoid a rfe so essential to send all documents required. My application from start to approval was 68 days just waiting on the card in the post now so I can start the new job.
Yes get POE out of the way first lol. You will be fine lots of guide on this website on AOS too. Forms you can download here and uscis main website.
Let us know how things go.
God bless

Hi may filers here's my update. I had my EAD and AP approved today so waiting for them in the mail hopefully next week still no interview notice yet for green card but from my understanding there's a backlog in my local office so might be a longer wait.
I start a new job as a RN in cardiac heart failure unit. Looking forward to finally earning good money again.
My son got a daycare employee daycare at the hospital where I will be working they pay half the daycare I pay the other half so that was really a great help. I will be starting my masters program in family nurse practitioner in a few months my employer is going to pay some of the tuition two year program at least then I will greatly increase my earning potential.
Next is my car hoping by end may I can buy my jeep so can't wait to be driving.
Hope everyone else is getting on fine. Good luck to all of us.
