Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionVaccinations
I just have a concern about the vaccination requirements. My wife has a conditional gc based on a k-1 visa. We had to get two vaccinations done at that time. I believe one was the HPV...and the other one was a flu vaccine. One of these was a series. We haven't had that series completed as of yet. I'm wondering if we will have to complete that series before we can file for ROC? Is there any proof of the vaccinations that are even needed? Thanks

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew Social Security Card

I don't quite get why you're confused. You essentially requested a new card when you went there and changed her name on the old one. They have to send you a new one which will match the rest of her documents. The second one doesn't have the DHS work authorization because now that she has a green card, she no longer needs any authorization from DHS to work. Her green card says she is allowed to live and work in the U.S.


Sorry for the confusion. We did get her name changed ect. on the second card that we got back a few months ago. That card had the DHS work authorization on it though. I actually went back and asked them why the work authorization wasn't taken off and they said that she will have to be a citizen first. So I accepted that as the rule, and didn't question it. I do remember when we applied for that card they said that it will have to be cleared with USCIS first. Well, the card was sent anyhow but it had the DHS on it. So, I put two and two together and just accepted what the ss office said to be fact. So, that clears it up for me. It was just wierd that we got that card without requesting it or anything. The last card we got was actually the one that we requested...so for them to send us another one took me by suprize. Thanks for the reply...

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionNew Social Security Card
We just had something wierd happen. A few months ago my wife got her conditional greencard based on a k-1 visa. We had a social security card, and then after she got her greencard we went ahead and changed the name on it. Now through the mail, without being to the ss office in quite some time, we got a second social security card...The first one had the DHS work authorization on it, well this new one that we got doesn't have that. We still have a way to go before ROC...and I have no clue why they sent this to us. We did recently get her name put on my car title...but that shouldn't have had anything to do with it. I've got to call them and see whats going on...but there closed right now. I figured I'd ask on here too, especially since it don't have the DHS authorization on it. I'ts got me a bit worried...let me know what you guys think....thank ya

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionChange of Address

The same date that you reported for your spouses change of address.


Yeah, I reported the change of address late as well for my spouse. So, when you say the date I reported do you mean the date that I actually reported it(even though that I reported it later than the date we actually moved)?

My spouse's paperwork didn't even have a place to put the actual date that we moved & our move actually took awhile to complete, so is it fine to just put the date that my spouse reported it as the "effective date for change of address" even though this was awhile after our move was actually complete?

So what do I put as the effective date of change of address? Do I put the date that I actually moved or today's date? Thanks

Nope, you should be fine just file it ASAP. The I-865 is easily overlooked.


Thanks. I appreciate your reply.

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionChange of Address
Back in January of 2010 my wife obtained her conditional green card based on a k-1 visa. We recently moved within the last few months. I just found out that this change of address needs to be registered with the USCIS. I did the online change of address for my wife, & noticed that I still have to file a change of address for myself with an I-865 I believe. I realize that I'm doing this a little late & was wondering if this will affect us any with our standing with the USCIS? I'm worrying about it. I have yet to print my Change of address & send it. I'm doing that today but was wondering about this...thanks

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMiddle Name Change
Thank you all for your input. I went to the Philippines consulate website & it said to report "change of last name" and so that is what struck my concern. I also have a friend who married a filipina recently after she arrived on a k-1 visa & they applied for the gc the same way with the middle name ommitted, and replaced with fathers surname. When they went to there biometrics a few weeks ago they told them that she couldn't apply like that & that they would have to write a letter to USCIS & let them know that they made a mistake & that they want the gc with original middle name. So, does anyone understand why they said this? Was is a lack of knowledge of the situation? My wife & I had our biometrics done in Detroit, MI and I believe there's was in Grand Rapids, MI. I think that maybe there was confusion & if they had never saw that before, they may have given them that advice. They did give them the biometrics though. So, this was the reason why I expressed some concern with this name change situation. So, as in my friend's case, when they get there passport can they opt to use the first name, original middle name, and new surname? Or will they have to use the traditional? Would this be a potential problem as far as travelling goes, with there names not matching up? Thanks for your replies & information. It is well appreciated.

As for her passport, she still has two years left on it yet. I understand that this needs done & we are planning to send in for Report of Marriage & Name Change this week. Thanks again,
Isaiah

You can not renew her Philippine Passport unless u report ur marriage here first. That is the number 1 requirement.
When she get a new passport ,the form will ask u what name u want in her new passport. So it's simple just put Michelle Ignacio Miller and that's it.


Or Michelle Amador Miller perhaps

Removing Conditions on Residency General DiscussionMiddle Name Change
Okay, my wife & I were married back in 09 & we used her maiden name as her middle name, and got rid of her original middle name. So her name was Michelle Ignacio Amador and it is now Michelle Amador Miller. We were able to get this name on her 2 year gc, and social security office. We are getting ready to file for a legal name change so that she can actually get a state ID in her new name as well. I just wanted to make sure before we went ahead with the state legal name change procedures. My only worry is about the filipino passport. We haven't sent a report of marriage yet or tried to ammend her passport from her old name to her new name yet. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with the Philippines consulate on this. Will they change both her surname & middle name on her passport? Or will they just change the last name. If they only changed the last name would this cause problems with travelling? I want to make sure on this before we do a legal name change & then end up having to try changing everything again so that all of the documents match. We really want to use Michelle Amador Miller but if it isn't possible we wouldn't mind Michelle Ignacio Miller. So, any info would be a big help. Thanks!

PhilippinesMy filipina wife
Sorry, I know this probably doesn't belong on this forum...so I hope its not a problem. My wife just got here from the Philippines on a k-1 visa. Were getting ready to file the I-485. We are here in Ohio, and there's not a whole lot of filipinos around. I noticed that there are alot of filipinos(or spouses of) on this site. Just wondering if anyone knows of a good forum for filipinos living in the states to just discuss cultural differences, ect.

She is having a hard time adjusting right now...and I think it would be great if she had some connections so she could just discuss her feelings, ect. Like I said, sorry if I shouldn't have posted this here, just looking for a way to help her out! thanks
