K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	how to cope with the waiting	QUOTE (miss g @ Sep 9 2008, 07:26 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, my fiance and i just recently filed for the fiance visa, i am in the uk, he is in the usa, and because i cant visit him, we have to scrape together whatever funds we have to get him here when we can.. Lots of people have had to go through this i am sure, but i need to know how everyone coped because im finding it really hard, and to make matters worse my fiance is depressed. does anyone know how long this visa takes esp coming from the Uk or is it the same everywhere? You can check out the uk averages based on the people at VJ and their timelines here processing times Scroll down and find you Statistics by Country, Visa Type (for the last 360 days) and then if you scroll down further you can see Statistics by Consulate, Visa Type (for the last 360 days). Hope this helps a little. It is hard but spending as much time with John via Phone, email and Skype tend to help us.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2008-09-10 04:56:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	So for those that dont know, today was terrible for us. I think Melannie spent 90% of it sobbing unconsolably. Thank God she finally went to sleep now. The embassy is now trying to take away our approval, as they say we lied on our application as Melannie was arrested in New York under a deportation order in the mid 90's while she was in college there. This is all untrue. I do believe she would know if she had been arrested!!!!!!!!!!!!! @&#Q!@$ Government anyhow!!! LUCKY FOR US, and I cant believe I'm saying this, we hired a lawyer for this K1 process. I thought it was a huge waste of money up until today. They have earned every penny of their fee today. Turns out Melannie wasnt even in the U.S long enough for what the embassy man say happened to have taken place. Our lawyer was able to sort all this out with evidence in a way we never would have managed. Also, at the lawyer's advice, I contacted my congressman, Fred Upton, and he is going to get to the bottom of this, as well as a somewhat nasty letter from our lawyer to the embassy. The lawyer seems VERY confident this is somebody's error who hasnt a clue what their job is. It is his thought we will get our visa quickly as whoever is at fault will try and dump this before it burns them. So Melannie is headed back to Scotland tommorrow until this is sorted out. I am so thankful for Allan LOlly and Associates legal service. I dont know how we could make it through all this without them. Hopefully the situation reaches a speedy and sucessful end. And as for the embassy officer who was so rude and cruel to my love today, I hope a friggin bus hits you. I hope nobody else finds themselves in a situation like today has been for us.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	Just called DOS again and was asked to stop calling so much! Still no progress, I'd say chances are none that we'll be getting married this week. At least the marriage license is good for one month, hopefully that'll be enough time. I hate to tell Melannie, she's really not going to take this well.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-03-04 13:13:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	No, not yet. I just got off the phone to DOS, and our case is currently still being processed, so its looking bad for her to get here by Friday.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-03-04 10:44:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	Well the visa courier service has completly screwed us over. Melannie didnt get her visa again today, so we lose a $400 airfare as its completly non-refundable. I guess we shouldnt have been quite so eager. And even worse, I dont get to see her tommorrow. We are just praying she'll get it in time so we can still get married on Friday. 3-6-09 only comes around once a century!	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-03-03 21:26:00

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	K1's can still work for the first 90 days according to email I just received from SSA There is a lot of info here but I included it all, as I like the way it sets out the info for the noobs (like myself) out there. QUOTE Thank you for contacting the Social Security Administration regarding your assigned Social Security number (SSN). The Social Security Administration does not delete, destroy, rescind, inactivate or cancel Social Security numbers once they are assigned. If you have been assigned an SSN it will remain your number throughout your lifetime. An individual that entered the United States with K-1 status applying for a work authorized replacement SSN card must present evidence at one of our offices to establish his or her identity and current lawful employment authorized status. We will not assign an SSN or issue a card to an individual that is within 14 days of his or her alien status expiring. Until the 76th day after entry an individual with K-1 status only needs to provide an unexpired I-94 showing current K-1 status to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes. Once, an individual that entered the United States with K-1 status has been in the United States 76 days he or she will need another document, i.e. I-551 or I-766 to establish employment authorized status for SSN purposes. RM 00203.500 Employment Authorization for Nonimmigrants: https://secure.ssa.g...x/0100203500#C1 RM 00203.410 Evidence of Alien Status for an SSN Card for an Alien Lawfully Admitted for Permanent Residence: https://secure.ssa.g.../lnx/0100203410 Note: Marriage does not affect an individual with K-1 status's eligibility to be assigned an SSN and/or issued a card. We suggest that individuals apply for a corrected SSN card to update the SSN record when there has been a name change due to marriage. Only the marriage document is needed to establish the name change if it meets the following criteria: -- The new name can be derived from the marriage document, i.e. bride takes the groom’s last name, groom takes bride’s last name, compound name (with or without hyphen) of each spouse’s original name for either or both parties. Note: The type of name change requested must also be allowable under state law, i.e. groom taking bride’s last name. -- The marriage occurred within the past two years -- The marriage document shows sufficient identifying information (e.g., biographical data such as age, date of birth or parent's names), and -- The identifying information matches the information on his/her Social Security number (Numident) record. The applicant may need to submit an identity document in the old name along with the marriage document if: -- The marriage occurred within the last two years and has biographical information, e.g., age, date of birth or parent's names which does not match our records, e.g., the SSN record. -- The marriage occurred within the last two years, but does not show biographical information, or -- The marriage occurred over two years ago (with or without biographical information. The identity document used to establish the old name must match the name on the current SSN record. The identity document is acceptable even if over two years old or expired. In name change situations when evidence of identity in the old name is required and the applicant does not have any acceptable evidence of identity in the old name with him or her at the time the SSN application is filed, we can request the following documentation to process the name change: 1. Name change document (e.g., marriage document) showing the old name that agrees with the name on the latest Numident record (Numident) (e.g., maiden name), and 2. Acceptable evidence of identity in the new name (name to be shown on the SSN card), excluding marriage document if it was submitted as the name change document and 3. Verification of identifying information (SSN, name(s) on latest Numident record, date of birth, place of birth, parents’ names) from the latest Numident record. If these three documentation requirements are not met, the name change request cannot be processed under this new policy. Evidence of identity in the old name would need to be submitted per EM-06064. Note: Refer the Social Security office personnel to EM-06064, which was issued 10/02/2006 and EM-07045, which was issued 07/03/2007 for the current procedures regarding name changes based on marriage. https://secure.ssa.g...cttocategory=EM This is in addition to proof of current lawful employment authorized status. RM 00203.210 C. Procedure - Immigration Document as Evidence of Legal Name: When an alien applies for an SSN card, we presume the name on the immigration document is the legal name unless the applicant presents evidence of a legal name change, e.g., marriage, which occurred after the immigration document was issued. In cases where an alien applies for a replacement SSN card and submits an immigration document showing a name that is different from the name on the prior Numident record, accept the immigration document as evidence of the legal name. In these cases, the prior SSN card may have been issued in a name that was not the number holder’s legal name. RM 00203.210 Changing Numident Name Data: http://policy.ssa.go.../lnx/0100203210 When requesting an SSN card, the documents presented, as evidence must be either originals or copies certified by the issuing agency. We cannot accept uncertified or notarized photocopies as evidence. The documents acceptable as evidence of identity are now based on three factors: (1) the applicant’s age, (2) the applicant’s citizenship/alien status, and (3) the relative probative value of documents. Primary Identity Evidence for an alien: -- Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card (includes temporary I-551 Stamp in combination with an unexpired foreign passport when the I-551 Permanent Resident Card has not yet been issued) -- Form I-94, Arrival/departure Record in combination with an unexpired foreign passport -- Form I-766, Employment Authorization card Note: Document must be unexpired Secondary Identity Evidence for an alien: -- Unexpired valid U.S. driver’s license (excludes licenses known to be suspended or revoked) -- U.S. State issued non-driver identity card (issued by the same State agency which issues driver’s licenses/State-level agency with issuing authority over the State’s identity card and not expired) -- Marriage document showing in addition to the applicant’s name either the applicant’s date of birth ( DOB) or age -- Certified copy of medical record (clinic, doctor, or hospital) or letter providing extract data from the medical record showing in addition to the applicant’s name, the applicant’s DOB or age -- Health insurance or Medicaid card showing, in addition to the person’s name, either a photograph of the person or his/her DOB -- School identity card or record (for current school year) showing, in addition to the applicant’s name, either a photograph of the applicant or the applicant’s DOB -- Life insurance policy for the person showing his/her age or DOB. However, the acceptability of an identity document must be evaluated on a case by case basis by the office processing the application. You can find detailed information regarding evidence that establishes identity on our Website at: http://policy.ssa.go.../lnx/0100203200 We cannot accept an application filing receipt or notice of action as evidence of an immigration document. Take the required documents to the nearest Social Security office. Individuals age 12 or older applying for an original SSN and card must apply in person at one of our offices. You can obtain the address and directions to the nearest Social Security office from the Social Security Office Locator, which is available on the Internet at: http://www.ssa.gov/locator Note: Applicants who live or receive mail in the Brooklyn, NY, Queens, NY, Phoenix, AZ, Orlando, FL, Sacramento, CA or Las Vegas, NV area MUST apply in person at one of the Social Security Card Centers, regardless of age. Card Center Information: http://ssa-custhelp....hp?p_faqid=1412 Sacramento Card Center 8581 Folsom Blvd. Suite B Sacramento, CA 95826 Hours: Monday through Friday, 9:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Normally, an SSN card should be received in the mail within two weeks after the application and document(s) have been received and verified. However, when an alien requests an SSN or replacement card, we must verify his or her documents/current status with the appropriate Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security. If the initial online verification is not possible through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, we may need to send a Form G-845 to the appropriate Bureau of the Department of Homeland Security for manual verification. Since 01/06/2007 Social Security field offices can submit an additional electronic online verification, which in the majority of applications eliminates the need to send a Form G-845 along with copies of the applicant’s immigration documents. However, some applications still require a copy of the immigration document(s) being verified to be sent at the request of the Department of Homeland Security along with the Form G-845 for manual verification. Note: If the applicant has changed his/her name after an immigration document, i.e. I-94, was issued, e.g., married and is now using the married name, but has not obtained a corrected immigration document showing the new name; this is not a name discrepancy for enumeration purposes, i.e. SAVE clearance, if the applicant can provide an acceptable legal name change document to establish the new name. The 14 day status expiration limit for assigning an SSN and/or issuing a card applies even if an individual submitted his or her application before being within the 14 day period and entered the 14 day period while waiting for his or her status to be verified. Our offices can also assist applicants by issuing a notice acknowledging the SSN application while documents are being verified. RM 00202.307 Acknowledgement for Form SS-5: http://policy.ssa.go.../lnx/0100202307 All cards are mailed from Social Security Headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland to the postal address provided on the Form SS-5. Individuals can contact the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) by calling the National Customer Service Center toll-free number, 1-800-375-5283 or visiting a local CIS office. You can locate CIS offices on their Website at: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis Then select “Service & Benefits.” Before going into a CIS office individuals first need to make an INFOPASS appointment: http://infopass.uscis.gov Finding the Status of Your Case: https://egov.uscis.g.../jsps/index.jsp How Do I...Help My Fiancé(e)Become a Permanent Resident of the United States: http://www.uscis.gov.../article/A2.pdf I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status: http://www.uscis.gov.../form/i-485.pdf http://www.uscis.gov.../i-485instr.pdf Application for Employment Authorization: http://www.uscis.gov.../form/i-765.pdf http://www.uscis.gov.../I-765instr.pdf How Do I...Renew or Replace My Permanent Resident Card: http://www.uscis.gov.../article/B2.pdf Petition to Remove Conditions on Residence: http://www.uscis.gov.../form/I-751.pdf http://www.uscis.gov.../I-751instr.pdf You can find SSN and employment information on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Website at: http://www.irs.gov/b...=129227,00.html If ineligible to be issued a replacement card, Social Security offices can provide written notice using Form SSA-L676 to explain that an SSN cannot be assigned due to your not having provided authorization to work in the United States for SSN purposes or evidence of a valid nonwork reason for needing an SSN. The following are valid nonwork reasons: -- Receive Social Security benefits -- Receive Medicaid -- Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) -- Food Stamps -- State/Local General Assistance Benefits Needing an SSN for school aid or enrollment, tax purposes, private health insurance, banking, credit cards, loans or to be issued a state professional or driver’s license are NOT valid non work reasons for needing an SSN. However, you can request an SSN Verification Printout, which will provide you with proof of your SSN and the name that currently appears on the record until you are eligible to be issued an SSN card.

K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	I think Hannah is right. In most cases I have seen if you use the temp EAD linked to the I94 it lasts the 90 days. Then you need to AOS with an EAD. The EAD in most cases takes less than 90 days to be issued and in the cases I have seen is back dated to date the application is received. (Yep there is another series of NOA's in your future.) So if you apply for AOS while you have the temp EAD the new one should overlap with start dates. This is no guarantee of course I base it all on anecdotal evidence provided by the others on VJ.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-01-24 13:57:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	You can apply for EAD before AOS but it will only last for the length of the I94. It will also be a seperate application fee. Where as if you apply for the EAD & the AP along with the AOS, it is just the cost of filing AOS.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-01-24 12:28:00
K-1 Fiance(e) Visa Case Filing and Progress Reports	May 08 k1 filers ~ CSC	We were going to go through JFK though are worried by this recent discussion: http://www.visajourn...howtopic=173631 So now we're not sure what to do. We are going to get married at a courthouse so we can file for AOS the day after Melannie arrives. Then we will have our wedding at our leisure and not have to worry about all that other stuff at that time.	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-01-24 10:28:00

That might work out for you Hannah....There aren't that many in Chicago.....everything is so expensive here I emailed a suburban park district to see about their beach. If not, then it may be my friend's back yard. but I'm still going down there to get pics taken of me and my hunny in our wedding clothes. permit or not! The one we rented is a B&B without the second B for breakfast. I think they put out some stuff, but nobody lives on site so staying there, they'll pretty much be on their own. The other one is just a weekend/vacation retreat that is just around the corner from our house. I wish I could say we found them in some special way, but they are just places I have known about for years. I did think of the one we rented when I searched "weddings in paw paw mich" and saw the name. I would say this is all just small town stuff, you'd probably have to get out of the city a ways before you'd find places like this. As Carmen says, everything is so expensive in Chicago or any other city for that matter I would think. John	DairyFarmer	Not Telling	Australia	2009-01-23 06:06:00
