US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionK1 Timespan
I was just wondering when I should depart from the UK once I get the green light from the London embassy? I mean, I have 6 months from when the K1 is issued to get my ####### over there, right? And ideally (for financial reasons apart from anything else) I'd like to take advantage of that time by working my butt off over here, thus making my life a whole lot easier once over there.

But if, say, I choose to leave at a later date (say 5 months after approval) does this have any impact on the K1's "life" once Stateside? For instance, lets just say I go through JFK as my POE, and get that EAD stamp that they issue. That stamp is valid only "until the K1 expires" right? So if I come in later, does that eat away at the initial 6 months? Or do they give you a set amount of time at the POE irrespective of when you left the UK?

This make any sense!!?? wacko.gif

I dont think it matters who calls the DOS as long as you have all the correct information ( and dont forget there in washington so 5 hours behind us and there office hours are 8.30 to 5pm i think) - i havent rung them as i;m on BT and would prolly cost more than the extortion UK, calls can take over 20 minuets with being on hold

wow your about 3 miles away from me in that, I live in Billesely by the common.

From my other post - i kinda get the feeling the Consulate Officers that do K-1 are on there hols atm as there dont seem to be any movement of stuff and no interviews between the 30th and 13th August, but hope I am wrong

If you do manage to get your LND number when ringing the DOS you can find sample packet 3's here that you can complete in the meantime.


Oh I've got my LND number - NVC gave me that - I just wanna know if the London embassy have actually received it, that's all.

From what i have seen on here - you tend to get better and more information by the USC ringing the DOS number and hanging on the phone for a while to talk to a person.

The UK numbers - cant give any information and tend to only give you an email address to correspond with

The Department of State is a big organization with a lot of stuff going on. You can read about it here.

I will leave it for others to fill in more about the organization. I am creating this page simply to let you know that you can check your case status by calling the DOS:

Dial 202-663-1225 Then press 1 and then 0 for an operator. Have your case number ready.

The operator should be able to tell you where your case is at, whether your packet 3 has been sent out to you and whether you have an interview date scheduled.

Hope that helps


That helps a lot. Especially as I have unlimited calls to the states included in my Sky package. cool.gif

Does it have to be the USC, or can I call?

US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionOK, 2 Final K1 Packet 3 Questions
QUOTE (Scarlett @ Aug 20 2008, 11:46 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
Why did your photos cost so much? what's wrong with the passport photo booth type ones for c. GBP4? That was all I was planning to use.


Scarlett

Rachael is correct - the photos must be U.S. visa compliant, so standard British passport photos will not be accepted. You should have had a list of suitable photographers sent to you with packet 3 (I used Happy Snaps, becuase they've got branches everywhere).
Damian PMaleEngland2008-08-21 02:03:00
US Embassy and Consulate DiscussionOK, 2 Final K1 Packet 3 Questions
Right, just had my U.S. embassy compliant photos taken (20 ###### quid for 4!!!!!!!!!!!) and have attached the required number to my packet 3.

Now then, just two more things I need to know before I pop it in the post:

1) In section 29 of the DS-156, it asks you to state your prior visits to the U.S. If you have quite a few visits (as most of us do) then you take up a fair bit of space, but the DS-156 automatically generates a "continuation page" with all the relevan trips listed when you print it off. Section 25 of the DS-230 form requests the same information, but does not automatically generate the continuation page in the way DS-156 does. As such, an improvised continuation sheet will be required. Will a standard blank word document suffice as a template? Or is there a procedure here?

2) ####### is an 'A' number??????? I know from reading various posts on here that it doesn't apply to trips using the VWP, but I have travelled on an F1 before. Is the 'A' number the long number in the top right hand corner? Because it's refered to as a 'control number' on the visa.

Any ideas?

OK, so I'm looking at the medical questionairre, and that vaccination table may as well be written in Cantonese. So, would someone kindly advise me how much I'm looking at for all the jabs I need?

Also I've noticed the following excerpt from the questionairre:

"Special notice for K and V visa applicants: although vaccination records are not actually needed for such visas, they will be needed for the permanent residence application you will be making once you travel to the U.S."
So this means that I don't actually have to have these jabs on Friday at my medical, rather I can wait until I get out to the states if I so choose, yes?

And the photos you need for the visa. Do you send those off with the packet 3 forms, or do you bring them with you for the interview?

Thanks muchly.

US Citizenship General DiscussionOut of State Driver's Licence at Interview

 

Agree - only exception being the "technically".  It is illegal and is also called insurance fraud.

 

Fraud: "Deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage."

 

I'm gaining NOTHING from the insurance company. Not a bean. That's not why I want to keep the IL licence. The premiums are exactly the same in IL as they are in MO. So we can throw that out.

 

After reading the various replies, I'll either get an MO licence or move back to IL.

 

Thanks for your input folks.


Damian PMaleEngland2013-08-07 17:41:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionOut of State Driver's Licence at Interview

VanessaTony, it's slightly different in my case: let's just say that leaving my truck registered in Illinois avoids a rather large repair bill that I'd have to stump up for if I want to get it through the Missouri safety inspection (I should point out here that the vehicle is fundamentally safe - the damn rack & pinion's leaking and they want $1,500 for a new one). Also, the state of Illinois allows you to renew online, no questions asked, no medicals to undertake, every four years (provided you don't commit any moving violations) until you're in your 70's. And I like that. I like that a lot.

 

But you know, compared to the price of getting derailed so close to the finish line, I guess I'll just suck it up.

Good question - I was thinking a non-drivers I.D. card might do the trick?

 

"but, you need to check your state law, I think all the states have a law that you need to carry their DL if you lived in that state for a certain time."

 

Yes. Yes they do. And MO is no exception.

 

"if there is such a law how are you going to explain your violation to the state law to the IO ?"

 

I'm hoping he/she doesn't really care too much.

US Citizenship General DiscussionOut of State Driver's Licence at Interview

OK, so I don't actually file the N-400 for quite a while yet, but looking ahead, I had a question that I wondered if anyone can help me with.

 

When I first moved to the U.S. I settled in Illinois. I now live in Missouri, and will do come filing time. Thing is, I haven't changed my IL licence for a MO one, and I've no intention of doing so if I can possibly avoid  it (I have my reasons, don't need to bore anyone with them). Now the N-400 guidelines provided by USCIS state that you have to have lived in the state from which you're applying for naturalization for a least 3 months prior to doing so. No problem there - I'll have lived in MO for 2 years come filing time. What I'm wondering is this: is the interviewing officer gonna have an issue with the fact that I will be presenting an out-of-state licence, despite the fact that I've lived in MO for much longer than I should have done without swapping it over? Or is he/she really not gonna give a rat's ####### as long as it's valid, because he/she doesn't work for the DMV?

 

Just curious - thanks in advance!

I'm lost. Are you going to live in the UK right now? I thought you were going to get citizenship first, then hop over for the DCF. I don't see a problem with the domicile. It's pretty flexible. Did you read my reply?

You can also file DCF, then move back before the interview and Affidavit of Support. Nothing says you have to remain there for the entire duration.

No, I'm not going to the UK now - citizenship first. I became a LPR on August 20th, 2009 so I'll be filing late May 2014. Looking to head home early 2015 (probably just after Xmas) then spend a year or so there. And filing the DCF then moving back stateside before the interview/AoF is precisely what I was alluring to in my last post (although it woud be nice if we could leave together).

 

But hey, let's get citizenship nailed first, eh!!??


Damian PMaleEngland2013-08-10 18:10:00
US Citizenship General DiscussionAnother Naturalization Interview Question......

My thoughts are when you naturalize, you are an American and qualify to bring anybody on the list, like a wife. Right? Doesn't matter if they frown as long as you qualify. In your case there was nothing nefarious going on and I would write an affidavit for you stating my knowledge of your visa, marriage, Amber's death, etc if anybody gives you grief. Shaz would do the same.. Between now and then, build some marriage things like joint bank accounts. File taxes as married for 2013. There is even a way to file jointly even with her in the UK.

And don't get arrested, detained, or cited before your naturalization. tongue.png

(I'm late to this party because of a family death and organizing a fitting service, obit, and tribute to a fine 95 year old WW2 veteran.)



Well firstly, I'm sorry to hear about your loss. That "great generation" are dwindling now aren't they.

 

And with regard to my forthcoming situation, well as we discussed on the other thread my only real concern is the whole domicile thing. So I think what I'll do is put off doing the whole DCF thing until we're actually ready to leave Blighty, and if I'm denied for whatever reason, I'll simply move back stateside and send the paperwork from there - don't get any more "domicile" than that, right!!!???

The IO won't ask you any questions about your motives for naturalizing at your interview. As long as you're eligible, your reasons for doing it are irrelevent.

"Well, anytime an LPR acquires a GC through marriage to a USC, then later on divorces and marries someone from their own country, is questionable in the eyes of immigration officials."

 

Good point - I'd never really looked at it that way.

 

"Questions such as "did you know your current wife before you married the USC" could be asked."

 

Another valid point. But no, I didn't.

 

"After you gain US citizenship, nobody cares what you do. I highly doubt the IO will ask you what your future plans are as this is not really their concern."

US Citizenship General DiscussionAnother Naturalization Interview Question......

Now then, this might be something or it might be nothing at all. Firstly, let me give you a brief rundown of my visajounrey thus far.

 

Came over on a K-1 in 2009, adjusted status, received conditional GC. Wife passed away suddenly 8 months later, request to expedite removal of conditions approved, 10 year GC issued. Four years on, I've just re-married - a gal from my own country. I know, ironic huh? Anyway, the plan is after naturalization, for me to go home for an elongated period of time (i.e. a year or more) and then do the whole DCF thing to bring my wife back over to the states. Seems reasonable enough, yes? I mean, that's one of the main selling points of taking citizenship, right? The ability to come and go with complete impunity?

 

Thing is, I'm fairly sure I've read somewhere on here that USCIS frown on LPRs/naturalized citizens marrying someone from their own country and trying to bring them over here. Perhaps I'm wrong, but I'm sure I read that somewhere. I can't think for the life of me why, but there ya go. And when  the IO at the interview asks me what my future plans are, that's exactly what I'm going to tell him - I'm going home for a bit, and then, when we're ready, we'll do the DCF and come back over here. Can't think why on Earth that would be an issue, but apparently it might be.

 

Your thoughts, folks?

Sorry to lead this thread slightly off kilter, but I'm loathed to start new topics unnecessarily, and the thread title sorta covers my question, soooooooooo: 

 

I know that as an LPR filing an N-400, I can submit the application 90 days prior to the 5-year anniversary of my becoming a permanent resident. Does that same rule apply to an LPR filing for a spousal F2A? Or must I wait the full 60 calendar months prior to filing in this instance?

 

I originally obtained LPR status in 2009 through marriage to a USC (I was subsequently widowed).

US Citizenship General DiscussionQuestion about criminal record, before filling for citizenship!

So if I'm understanding you correctly, this offence occurred in Blighty, prior to you even coming over here? Well, it didn't stop them admitting you in the first place so based on that, and the assumption that you've been a pillar of society ever since, I can't personally see it being an issue (just as long as you're straight about it on the form).

 

On a slightly different note, do you actually NEED to become a USC? It's just that my take on it has always been that, if you're in any doubt at all about negative consequences stemming from an N-400 application,  just stick with the green card.

 Yes, this!! I wanted to know the answer to exactly this too! Now I thought that the correct response would be '0' because I'm thinking that the question is referring to previous marriages. I'm thinking this because the instructions on the form say "if your spouse has been married BEFORE...." and also asks you to record information on a separate piece of paper if your current spouse has had more than one PRIOR marriage.

 

It's vague though, to be sure, and I too would like a correct response from someone in the know.

US Citizenship General DiscussionYet another N-400 speeding ticket topic

OK, rather than start (yet) another thread on the subject, I'll just jump on this one! I to was pulled over and ticketed back in 2010. The cop told me that if I took a defensive driving course (which I did) the matter wouldn't be reported. I took the course. A couple of weeks ago, I received the safe driver renewal form (Illinois allows you to renew online, no DMV visit, no questions asked up the age of 74 provided you have no citations) so I figure it's a total non-issue, right?
