what do you mean by you can begin teaching in sept 2009? You mean working? Are you aware that you need to apply for a work permission first anyway to be able to work and this can take some time between 2 months and 1+ years?

It really depends on how she is called.
I for example do not have a middle name. Just my last name and first name (Ngoc Anh).....we put down Ngoc-Anh as first name.

Hope this helps.

call them and verify your address. Then write your name on a sticky and tape it to your mailbox.
Depending on the mail man they put the mail into your box even though there is no name others don't and send it back.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresExpedite, Pregnant Fiance W/Health Concern, Congressman Help
hi there.

unfortunately, pregnancy is no reason for expedition, because if it was, all of us would get pregnant.
sorry, I don't mean to be snobby, but that's just the truth.
I'm sorry that you are caught in that situation and that your fiancee is sick, but there are ways so plan and time a pregnancy. sure, there are "accidents" and stuff, but ---------

USCIS knows that if they would allow expedited service for pregnancies, 80% of us would get pregnant. (At least I would have considered wink.gif ).

best of luck to you!

would it be an option that you help her out fiancially so that she can live somewhere else?


best of luck, and I hope that your fiancee will feel better soon!!!

He found a job, I am looking at his passport right now.. What does the temporary stamp look like? I see the stamp on the I-94. On the I-94 it says Department of Homeland Security - Customs Admitted on Nov 21 - K1... Is there something more??


The I-94 would also have the work authorization stamp as well if they gave it, with an expiration date of on or about February 19, 2009.


I've never seen the stamp but if you're right, there would be two stamped expiration dates on the I-94. Chances are, if he didn't specifically ask for it, he didn't get it.


My wife received it (don't remember the exact nomenclature) but it is obvious if you get it..




IT IS NOT OBVIOUS.
The stamp is a red, smudged little thing, just one line, with a date. Really small, really hard to read.

I guess either way it will be some big adjustment.
And if the visa is granted (which, lets be true, will be the case, even though it might take some waivers and stuff) there will be lots of raised eyebrows from many people here in the US.
Prejudice is a human thing, and if I would see a 45-50 year old American with a 18 year old Phillipina - I would rise my eyebrows.


It's nearly 30 years difference. thats quite a bit. And it does rise red flags because she was a minor. But that's not of my business.

best of luck - i hope you will both find what you BOTH are looking for.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresFiancee had J1 Visa, Will this cause problems???
I just returned from the US being an Au Pair for 18 months. On your fiancee's DS-2019 on the very bottom left of her document it will show you if she is subject to the HHR. I wasn't. If I am informed correctly, the HHR only applies if the applicant is financially supported by a German company/government, because they want the applicant to work in Germany and contribute with the knowledge they paid for.

Good luck with everything,

QUOTE (Chibby @ Jun 30 2009, 03:08 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
No it's not the I-693, but what you mean is a copy of the vaccination sheet the doctor fills out (it's DS-3025). Just ask if they can give you a copy, it shouldn't be a problem. It's better to have it for AOS, because you will have to go to a USCIS-approved civil surgeon in the US and let them fill out parts of the I-693 for you (you don't have to take the full medical again, if your German medical is less than one year old when you apply for AOS), so they will transcribe the vaccinations for you.


I am finally done with my medicals. It wasn't anything unusual. Just blood, urine, bp, ear, eye etc. I have all vaccinations, however Varicella is a little old (I was 2 year old when I got that!) .. so they will be checking if I have the anti bodies, in case not I need to get that shot!

The doctor and nurse filled my form, and I was only asked to sign, I presume it was DS-3025. Not sure, guess its a standard procedure.

However when I asked for the copy, the nurse told me that, she will mail a photocopy of only the vaccination supplement once the V results come in, and that I don't need anything else. Is that right? Any one please. smile.gif So, is that all I need from the medical doc, one sheet of vaccination detail?

Just waiting for the test results which they said will be back in a week's time.

Oh, many thanks Chibby for that! I would have been sitting there, arguing to get a I-693 from the german doc star_smile.gif you saved me!! LOL!! that clears my question.


QUOTE
Did you look up the vaccination requirements for your gender and age? If possible, you should get any missing shots done by your family doctor since it's free (prevention) or inexpensive, if you decide to do it on the medical date, at that doctor, you might end up paying more and it's gonna be cash.


yes I did, I have had Td shots as a child, and also a booster in 2005. I am not sure if I need (another) Tdap as they say in the online chart?? ohmy.gif As my medical is day after, I would just get the Tdap if the doc says so on that day.

Thanks again for the help you all!! It's a blessing to have this forum on sucha seemingly blind journey smile.gif

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresQuestion reg medical in Munich, pl help
Thank you guys, I think i will just go ahead with the Eu size photographs, as the doc says ok.

I asked about the forms, because, I have read this forum where docs 'forgot' to give/ petitioner 'forgot' to take a copy, which became later a big thing during AOS...Is it just the copy of 693? Will the doctor give it right then or mail it later? I want to be sure to get whatever it is, when I am walking out of the doctor's office.

Secondly, will the result of the medical be told right away, like ok, you look clean .. or will it just be sent to the embassy and I get to know on my interview date, that would totally suck! blink.gif And I presume I be given all the missing shots right away...

Sorry, if these are seem silly to the pros, but your answer will help. smile.gif

Thank you for this amazing forum and people here, I have been lurking around taking in oh-so much information without posting blush.gif

So, here's my first post, about questions I have regarding my medical appointment scheduled in a couple of days. I received my interview date from the Frankfurt embassy and was also said that I could go ahead and finish my medical in Munich close to where I live...

Reg the medical appointment, I have the following questions:

1) I have been searching the entire forum for what the process is in the medical, I read a little bit of 693 form. Can anyone clearly state, what all documents I need to ensure my doctor fills, and what copies I get to take back for my interview and later on for AOS.

2) I have been told I need 3 photographs, and I confirmed from the doctor's office - - she said, German passport photo size is ok. Can anyone confirm, where these photos eventually land up in the documentation folder? (I need to get American sized new ones in that case, anyone from and around Munich - suggestions where I can get that done?)

Hopefully someone gets to this post soon, many thanks in advance smile.gif

Ciao....

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresVisiting USA whilst K1 is being processed
I think people have posted good answers but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents as I had psyched myself that I wouldn't be allowed.

But I was, and hence, this happy post. good.gif I visited my man just this May, while our K1 was in process. I had taken a ton of documents to prove that I still had a job, an apartment etc.

You really need to show off confidence at the immigration counter, and that makes it easier. Remember, the first question normally, the purpose of visit - - just say vacation and stop. how many days are you going to stay - - I said 2 weeks and again stop. That's it, and I was let in.

However, if I had mentioned a fiance and stuff, it would have been long, but I kept it brief and so did they! So, good luck smile.gif hope it helps.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & Proceduresfile for a different visa while waiting for K1 approval?
Hi!
I would just like to know if it is possible to file for student visa while waiting for your k1 approval? Just in case the k1 approval takes a lot more than the average time. Our approval is in security checks and it seems like those can take forever. So my fiance and I are thinking about getting a student visa for me first and by the time the k1 is approved I could return to Germany and finish the process so that we can finally get married.
It is just a thought and I would like to know if it could work.
