@ ChaiLatte - yes its the petition approval, not the actual visa yet... :-) Got overwhelmed with the good news... couldnt tell the difference anymore.. :-)

@Mafia_girl: Congratulations!!! Getting really close to be with your love one. When will be your interview date? My petition has been approved too last May 14, 2013 and we booked our interview date this coming July 3, 2013. Have you received USEM Appointment letter or the packet 4?

@Mafia_girl: What do you mean visa approval? you mean your petition for K1 fiancee visa referring to NOA2 or you're actually done with your interview?

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsJULY 3rd Interview! 15 more days before my USEM Interview.
Hi VJ Friends,

Thank you for answering all my queries and for being so helpful at all times. I successfully passed my medical exam last June 3th and 4th. I attended CFO Seminar last June 10th and it went well, now me and my fiance we're preparing for my upcoming interview this coming July 3rd, good thing he will be with me during the day of my interview because his presence will really help me feel less nervous in front of the consular officer:)

Does anybody scheduled their interview at the same day? (JULY 3rd)

Best of luck to all of us!!!

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress ReportsK1 Visa, just got approved today!

 

Why did your process take that long? I read that It usually takes abut 7-8 months. We just applied and got our NOA1... I am afraid it will take too long! Its been one year since last time i saw my fiance!

 

 

 

Don't worry. We were processed out of the California Service Center and they put a priority on DACA forms putting the I-129F forms on hold for approximately 4 months. Now, the California Service Center is back on track processing those forms in as little as 4 months. Good Luck on you visa journey ahead.

I-94's are now electronic, are they not?

Hi h_m do you happen to know the requirements for filing an SSN?

Aloha! Welcome to US!

I'll be arriving on Oahu next week. So, they asked you for the X-ray? I don't have a Xray CD, just a Xray sheet, or whatever it's called. I guess I have to have it on my carry on? It's pretty big...
 

Hi, thank you so much. Yes, you need to have the Xray CD handy because the Immigration officer will take that upon arrival to the US/port of entry. In my case, they didn't even ask for my X-ray sheet. It's not big, just a regular size of CD.

Hi h_m, so you mean I can just go ahead and print our my I-94?

No biggie wink.png I-94 should be attached on your passport. It's like a small card stapled on it. You need your I-94 when you apply your AOS.

Oh really? I don't have I-94, the immigration officer didn't give me any he just gave my passport back and that's it. I was wondering if I can download it online.

Congratulations and welcome to the US! I can't tell you which way is better but I want to share my experience to you and hopefully it can help. I applied SSN a week after our marriage, before I-94 expires as well. When I went to SSA here in Vallejo, CA with all my documents and our marriage certificate with me, the SSA officer said I am not allowed to get my SSN anymore since my status when I entered the US was single and now married. So what he suggested was to come back right after I get my ead/aos card. I asked two questions: 1. Why is that I have read online that it is fine to apply after marriage so as to use my husband's surname already? 2. Will it matter that by the time my I-94 will already be expired? The officer said, it's case to case basis according to state and expired I-94 won't matter at all since by the time I have to come back, my status will already be adjusted as permanent resident. So now I am still waiting for my aos/ead approval before going back to SSA.

Hello TatTot,

 

Thank you so much for your quick response it's very helpful. Well I guess based on your experienced I will just go ahead and file my SSN next week so I will not encounter any problem. By the way did they give you I-94? I didn't receive any after immigration upon arrival to US aside from the stamp in my passport.

 

Thanks!

Thanks God I finally made it, I arrived here in Hawaii yesterday using K1 Visa everything went smooth with the immigration they didn't ask for anything else aside from the packet and the X-ray CD. 

 

 

Now that the long wait is finally over for me and my fiance, we are now planning for our wedding late next month, but my question is, is it better to file my SSN right away or wait after getting married? I know that I need to file SSN before the I-94 expires which is the arrival and departure record (90 days) but I want to know which way to goidea9dv.gif .

 

 

Thank you very much:)

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Process & ProceduresK1 Documents needed for travel to US
Hi VJ World,

Good day. I would just like to know what documents I need to bring for travel to US other than my visa? I just want to make sure I have everything I need before going to the Airport.

Thank you very much.
