Yikes hope you guys/gals all get your SSN sorted soon what a pain! Hoping our office here won't be too much trouble (we quite a varied population so here's hoping it is piece of cake!). I may just call and ask on phone and see what they say we need to bring. We plan to do next Friday if we are back in town on time.

Oooh Rachel the time is near aye?! Nervous, excited and all the above I bet huh?!

Dbears that cake plan sounded wonderful to me! We are doing cupcakes for ours as no cutting fees and hassle that way LOL! Too bad I have to spend this Sunday making over 200 chocolates to go on top of them all haha! Oh well it will ALL be worth it! Cannot believe it soon will be over!!! All this planning and buildup haha!

At least we have Thanksgiving and Christmas next smile.gif


Cupcakes are a wonderful and a yummy idea! tongue.gif
Your wedding is soon! you might very excited right now! smile.gif

waow! dbears I just read your story at the SSA! It was quite a journey! I'm glad that it worked out at the end! wink.gif But, at your place, I would go back to see the first lady you talked to, showing the paper that state you will receive your SSN.... Maybe she still won't believe you, and say that you are illegal! biggrin.gif

Hello everyone, I have surely missed all the great happenings here but I am glad everyone seems to be moving pretty fine even with few glitches here and there. CONGRATS on all the weddings and all the other happy reunions.

I may have been a VSC filer but January CSC has been my second home here on VJ. Just an update on us, arrived here in Johnston county, NC on Sept. 4, got married Oct. 18 in a small and private church wedding. My step-daughter did my hair, I made my own bouquet and also did my own make up. The wedding was very simple but it was beautiful, my mother-in-law said there was no dry eye when we exchanged our personalized vows especially when we gave our vows to our kids. It was not what I visualized our wedding would be but it had been more special and memorable than I expected it to be even without the glitz and glams of a fancy wedding.

On other note, we tried applying for SSN last week and was told that I am not eligible to get SSN since I already got married and therefore the K1 visa SSN eligibility don't apply to me anymore. The lady we talked to said we either need to do the whole process so I could get a K3 visa (which absolutely don't make any sense to me) since I am a spouse of the US citizen now and not a fiancee or we could apply for EAD for me and also for the kids. She was telling us all this probably not knowing that EAD cost $300+ to get. Anyweiz, we will try to go back to SSN office this week and try our luck in getting the SSN again.


The same as Cécile here. I've been to the SSA 4 times before they finally say I'm eligible, and to pu my married name on the card. They are just not use to K1 visa holder I guess. Just gather as many proof as you can to explain them you can get your SSN card. Good Luck!
And Congratulation on your wedding! happy.gif

Hi guys!!!

I use to post in the February thread. I just wanted to tell you that all goes fine for Gally, Richard and I. We arrive in the US, October 30. All was really easy at the POE. Gally even received an American Flag pin from the POE officer.

We was there just in time to celebrate Halloween! It was great! Gally had a lot of fun doing "Trick or treat", me either as we get a really nice neighborhood. Richard and I we gave something like 250 handfuls of candies.

We went Monday to the county office to get our wedding license. Today it was Gally's first school day. She was really wonderfully welcomed at the school. She came back from school highly excited and happy.

As I can't work for now, I will ask the school about their needs for volunteers.

Saturday we will get married. I can't wait!

Hugs and kisses to you all!



Congratulation!
I wish you all the best! and Have a great wedding tomorrow!! kicking.gif

Well, at least now you have an official answer to your question, even though it certainly isn't good news.

I don't know yet when I'll try to pass the driving test. I'm trying to figure out how to do that, Bryan doesn't have a lot of time off work anymore, and I'll need someone to drive me to the test. So I don't know!



I hope you'll be able to pass it soon!! happy.gif

In one hand, I am mad at the CO DMV but in the other hand I understand why they want to see an EAD...
Here's my question: What if tomorrow there is a police control and wants to see my papers. I show them my passeport and the I 94 is expired. What proof can I show them that I am here legally? I don't have any documents. And the NOA of AOS is not sufficient. It shows that I asked USCIS to adjust my status, but since I am not approved, why am I here in the US?
Our status is hard to understand! wacko.gif

The people you need to call would be the Department of Revenue in the state capital.
You live in Colorado, right? I found this: Identification to get a DL but they don't talk about adjustment of status... so I don't know if you can get a DL for sure, but the department of revenue should know.
Here's more info to contact them: http://www.colorado....V/1219229528121


Thanks Cecile for the infos!
I just called them for an hour. They said I can't! : ( They need a valid I94. the woman told me to get my I94 extended! I don't think it's possible!
I have to wait for my EAD. But at the same time, she told me that I should try to talk to the manager at the DMV of my city...
Phew! I am exhausted to talk with them everyday! I give up! dry.gif


" I'll say I am lucky when they give me the license. Until then, I'm still pretty sure there's going to be a last minute problem..."



When are you going to try to pass your driving test?

Michelle and I went to some places, such as the Social Security office, DMV, banks and such today for her name change (since we received the marriage certificate yesterday) and while at the DMV, I thought to myself, lets just go for the instruction permit (written test and eye exam) since it is not busy anyways.. result: I passed nicely without any study on it (only one mistake and a stupid one too lol) and got my instructional permit now biggrin.gif biggrin.gif As for my bad eye, I was tested on both eyes and they noticed (obviously) the bad eye so I got a notification in my license saying that I need to have a mirror on the right side of the car (all cars have that these days so no worries I think). Next step for the DMV will be the road test, which I might do tomorrow morning if I am awake on time, otherwise I just do it later lol, there's no rush. Also, there was no problem about my visa or anything, all they needed to see is my identification (passport but they didnt look at the visa or i94) and the SSN (SSN is basically already proof that you have a visa or they wont issue it). Im glad it all went so smoothly and as for gates of hell (remember the series? lol), no sign of that here in Hawaii biggrin.gif

Is your instruction permit good only until your I-94 expires, or does it work like a "normal" one?

I could have gotten a DL while on K1 but it would only have been valid until the end of October so I decided not to. The Department of Revenue website says that while adjusting my status I can get a DL, so I went to a first DMV office where they told me that it was wrong, I can't get one until I am approved for the AOS (or for the EAD). I went to a second office and the woman went to ask her supervisor (I assume that's what she did, she disappeared with all my paperwork for 5 minutes), and told me that when I have a proof that I am adjusting my status I can apply for a DL. So, just to make sure, when I received my NOA1, I came back to their office to ask them if the NOA1 is really what I need, and this time they told me that no, it had to be approved. which didn't make sense. So once outside the office, Bryan called the Department of Revenue for Missouri, and they told us that yes, I can have a DL even without being approved for the AOS. They told us that if the DMV office says something else, they should call the "Fraud and Immigration" department (yeah they put immigration with fraud, isn't that funny?). So we came back inside the office, told us what they had told us on the phone, and the woman said "Ok, then you go pass your driving exam and then you come back here and we'll call them to make sure, and there shouldn't be any problem"
So after all I should be able to have a DL soon.
And the DMV of Hawaii may be nice, but the ones in Missouri ARE the gates of Hell!!! tongue.gif



Man! You both lucky with that! Me still nothing,I try pretty much everyday to convince them, but it's getting worse worse! The lady I always talk to there, wants a paper with an expiration date! something that show that I am here legally...Things we don't have K1 holders! the only thing was the I94 already expired! And last time I call, the lady let me talk to the supervisor and he said that I was illegal, K1 doesn't exist. Only K3 allows me to drive and to be married to an American!!! huh.gif And whenever you try to explain them that they are wrong, they keep repeating the same sentence again and again until you leave! Great effective technique, but totally stupid!!! mad.gif

Hi there!

Congratulation Steph and Gareth!I'm really happy for you! smile.gif

I went to my biometrics appointment yesterday! It was in a weird dangerous suburb of Denver. I felt like I was in a bad ghetto gangster movie, with cops everywhere! weirdly it didn't make me feel safe...Anyway, once there, I was expecting to see a big official federal building, but no! It was in a shopping mall. It was tiny, only two girls were working there and one security guard. Of course, there were nobody else than me. So it took 2 minutes to get everything done ; ) They just put a stamp on my appointment letter and that's it! I am worried though because at the DMV they told me that they should give me another NOA after biometrics so I can get my licence. But they didn't give me anything, and they didn't seem to know anything about NOA, or about USCIS or about anything... dry.gif
Do you think we receive another NOA after biometrics from USCIS?

2 months? that's pretty long.

On another note, I received my NOA1s for the AOS today. A new waiting game started, but I'm not really waiting at this point. We are together, I like being a housewife, there's still some money on my bank account (not sure for how long though tongue.gif), so really, I don't feel like I'm waiting for anything. Unless I can't get a driver license with my NOA1. Then yes, I'd be waiting impatiently!



Good news Cécile!
I hope you'll get your driver's licence with this document now! good.gif

Maybe it's because it is one more "proof" that we are married, so it's all exciting to see both names together in a book that is going to reflect our family, husband, wife, and then children smile.gif

For everyone else on this thread: Sorry for the French Off Topic... tongue.gif

Hey!

Congrats Jeroen! I saw your wedding pictures on your blog, there are beautiful! I hope you guys the best!

Cécile, I'm sorry you need all this stuff for your marriage certificate transcription! Me, I'm like Pam, I just needed the certified copy and get the apostille. The apostille was fast to get. only two days. Like Pam, I gave a 3months and a half old BC, but the guy at the embassy said it was ok...Though, I sent all the papers to the embassy in L.A. a month ago, and still didn't hear anything yet back from them. I'm going to send an email to ask them how long it takes. I'll let you know!

Don't worry Jeroen! I did the eye exam, it's very easy! you look into a machine where there are letters, and you need to read one of the line. But you can do anything you want to read it. For myself, I have a tendancy to see things blury, so I just closed my left eye and I saw the letters perfectly! whistling.gif
After there are some flashing lights on the side of the machine, and the person asks you if you can see them...
I hope everything will be alright for you! happy.gif

Good to hear Jeroen! things are moving! good.gif

I went yesterday at the DMV to pass my instruction permit test which I succed!yaaay! I made 3 mistakes! now next step and the most difficult, the driving test! But I need to practice A LOT first, I've never ever driven before! Also I need to wait for biometrics, they told me they cannot give me a licence before the biometrics, because I only have the I 94 now which expires in November the 13th! and that mean for them I can't stay in the US after this date. So in order for them to give the licence, they need the paper they'll give me after biometrics saying that now I can stay in the country for good!
I hope my appointment letter will arrive soon! smile.gif

What the person told me at the DMV is, you could apply for a license right away, but it would expire as soon as your I-94 expires.
So, he said that I just need to show him proof that I am adjusting my status, and, according to that person, I could apply for my license as soon as I get my NOA, and not necessarly my EAD card.The EAD card is a temporary card while waiting for the green card(while adjusting our status), so why that person is telling you you cannot get a license while adjusting your status, but says it is ok as soon as you get your EAD card? Someone correct me if I am wrong but aren't we still "adjusting our status" while we are having our EAD card?
Am I the only one who have been told that? whistling.gif What about you Lucie? did they say the same thing to you?


Hey!
At the DMV they told me to get my SSN card, passeport, with the I94, and a proof that I am adjusting my status. but apparently NOA is not a 100 percent sure it works. I called the other day, and they say it should be okay but sometimes they prefer we do biometrics first...don't know why, she couldn't give me explanation, so I guess it just depends on your face, hair, way you dress... huh.gif

We sent the AOS package tonight!

I also received a letter from the SSA yesterday, saying that I should receive my social security card within two weeks! Now if only I could get a driver license soon, instead of having to wait until I have the EAD or the green card... Apparently, from what my local DMV told me, I can't have one while I am adjusting my status. I am going to go to another DMV just to make sure that they tell me the same thing. It's going to suck to be stuck for 3 months, if that is true (and it probably is).


I'm happy that this SSN nightmare is over for you Cécile! good.gif
Don't worry about the DMV, she didn't know what she was talking about! Just wait for your NOA and SSN card to arrive and go back there... I'm sure it will be ok.
When I first got to the SSA, the lady told me it was not possible for me to get a SSN, 2 days later I went back and the same lady told me No Problem, then I went there to change my name, and she told me it was not possible because of the AOS, and 3 days later I went back there and still the same lady told me No problem and start being nice with me, telling me nice things...weirdoooo! lol
I'm sure it was just bad luck for you the other day!
The thing I notice here, everytime I ask a question they told me it's not possible. But if you say I WANT TO blablabla, they just give it to you! You need to look confident and be a 100 percent sure of what you re talking about! wink.gif

Do I need to update my french passport? Do I need to update my visa? Or can I apply for my AOS with my SSN under my married name and with my old passport and visa?

Thanks Jeroen!! I didn't see this tip before! it's weird that the USCIS asks for vaccination again in their AOS guide, but we actually don't need to ! wacko.gif
I will ignore it then!

About SSN, I asked for it 2 and half weeks ago. and I still don't have it. They told me it will take 2 weeks for me to get the card in my mail, but in fact it's not true. I called like 3 days ago, and the lady told me that it doesn't take two weeks actually. It takes two weeks for a newborn american baby, but as I am an immigrant, it need to go to the homeland security office too, so it will takes 4 to 5 weeks! mad.gif

I can't wait to have this SSN number, cause I want to start to take driving lessons! it 's quite hard to live in the US without a car! I'm just stuck at home!

Pam, you look gorgious! I hope to see more photos soon!

Here, I'm still working on AOS paperwork. everything is almost done. Exept I still don't really know what to do for the medical part, the vaccination? does anyone know? DO I need to see a doctor again?

I also worked a lot on the preparation of the wedding for next year! It's lots of work to do! but we finally managed to set a date for July 6th! the most difficult part was to find a catholic priest! there is only one catholic church in the area! The reception site was quite hard too! there are not that many around, and all the dates for next year were taken. Only 3 dates were left! phew! we were lucky on this one!

When I went to the SSN the girl told me the same thing as you though.that i shouldn't change my name now. I should have my maiden name for AOS...what do you think?we should wait until we send AOS and got a NOA?

Did anyone start to work on the AOS yet? if yes, what are your suggestions on what to do for the I-693A? I don't have the vaccination forms... should I ask the doctor that performed the medical exam for a copy? And would I still need to go to a civil surgeon here in the US to have it signed?

However I have one concern. They never asked me if I wanted to take his name (which I want to do) or keep mine. Bryan says that since they didn't ask they'll just do it like they do with 99% of people and will give me his name. I hope he is right!


Hi everybody!

I haven't been here for a while! I was quite busy with wedding plans! ; )
Damon and I got married last friday! It was really easy! we went at the court house in the morning, there was no line!it went so quickly that i still don't realize i'm married!haha!we had a party with our friends at night! It was lots of fun! : )
Congratulation to Cécile and Bryan! kicking.gif
about your concern about the name: they didn't change my name either! you need to ask to change it. When I went after we got married at the office of social security number to ask for info, the girl in front of me got married and was asking to change her name. But since we don't have social security number, I don't know when we will be able to change our name...
anyway, now we are trying to fill everything for uscis.but we are a little confused...

1) Is there anything besides the AOS and EAD packet we need to fill out?

2) When we fill out the EAD to go along with the AOS, should we send them all to the same place in one packet, or in another packet?

3) When we went to the SSN office, the woman said we needed an EAD, but other sources say we just need the K1, I94, and some ID. Who is right?

Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I was away for few days. Thank you all for your congratulations! happy.gif
When I came back from my "get away week end" I had another great surprise: packet 3!!!
The problem is I don't know if I will send it ever, 'cos it's been weeks that I'm trying to get my police clearance from China, but it's just impossible! mad.gif
I have another problem, but this one easier I think. On packet 3 I need to write down Damon's current address and the address I will be staying at. But he's going to move on the 21st of July. What should I write?

-Congrats to all who got their NOA2s & interviews!!!!!!

-Shes, it's great that you've been touched!good thing!!

"I-864 is what is needed for AOS after the marriage, I-134 is what is needed for the K1 visa. It is written I-864 on the website embassy because it was previously used for K1 too. In packet 3, the paragraph about "financial information" contains a reference to the I-864, but they crossed it out and wrote I-134 on top of it. So, the form you need is the I-134. smile.gif
(it sounds like I know everything tongue.gif but that's not true: actually I was afraid we didn't fill out the right form, so it was a relief when I read what was written on packet 3)"

smile.gif Thank you very much! i should let DAmon know now. I think he downloaded the I 864... wacko.gif
Congrats for your new apartment!!!i wish you lots of happiness there! smile.gif

Hi Lucie!
Well, between my answer to your e-mail and Cécile's answer, I think you got all the informations you need!(by the way, Cécile's answer is so such clearer than mine! tongue.gif )
Like Cécile, I waiting to received my P3 before I filled out the DS forms through their website, but did everything else in advance.
So, yes, there is quite some things you can get started before you and your fiancé get approved!!
Again good luck!!


Sunny, I hope you get good news from CSC soon, and yes, getting touched would make me happy too!
Still hoping to see some more january filers getting approved!! star_smile.gif



Thank you very very much Blake, Cécile & Pam!!! you all really helped me.it is so much clear now! smile.gif
I still have a question though, hehe! what is the difference between I 864 and I 134? On the website of the Am.embassy in France it says that packet 3 contains I 864, but it looks the same as I 134 ....
Thank you!
