What kinda case do you have? Married to USC? I ask because if your husband is a USC then you were supposed to send the medical examination form with the rest of the applications. It doesn't matter what state you pick for the doctor, as long as he/she is in the list of authorized doctors...

If I remember correctly, I filled out the regular AR-11 form. You also need to call the 1800 number so they can change it in the file.

From the day they received your application, stamped it and sent you a receipt, you stopped being an F-1. Now your status is 'pending AOS'. So none of the rules about F-1 apply to your situation anymore... including OPT. Optional Practical training is offered to F-1 students only, you need to...

They stamp the passport as proof or residency till you receive the card. You're all set now. Congrats!

If they feel like it in your DO they can give you an AP right then and there. Make an appointment, there's nothing to lose except time. goodluck

Congrats!! It was nice that she gave you the option to wait... =)

If he overstayed his visa, it should be ok...if you're a USC. If he entered the country w/o a visa, ilegally, then he cannot adjust his status.

Congrats!!

I just decided to change my last name as soon as I got married so I could have all the documents under my new last name. I just didn't want to go through getting another card after a name change. It seems easier (based on posts I've read in this forum) to change your passport, license, credit...

Were you rude at all? In all honesty... It is a pain to have to deal with ANY goverment employee but that conversation just seems a little unreal...

I decided not to get one and wait till I become a USC, I remember the guy saying something that you can only get like 4 cards in your life time, I've gotten 2 already so I wanna keep my other 2 just in case I missplace it or something.

I just checked, the closest one is in NYC and I don't know if I wanna waste an entire day in that. Maybe I'll just wait till I go home this winter. I just wanted to find out how big of a problem/delay I will have to experience next time I go home.

I think you should be able to just update your lease and add your husband to it. In fact, I think you're supposed to list all the people living in the apt...

Thanks for your responses! I figured it could be a pain to go through immigration and customs. At least now I won't be waiting twice as long in the non-immigrants line! =) I was thinking of getting a new passport but I didn't want to pay $100 again, especially since I just got a new...

CHerr... I did bring all my documents with me, including my SS card and I'm pretty sure that they payrol lady only wanted to see my license and EAD card.

I guess things have changed. I went to get my ssn as an F1 and I only needed to show a letter from my school saying that I got an on-campus job, my I-20 and passport. I got the number right away and received the card within a week. then when I went to change my last name they needed to see...

That is so weird. I dont see why your employer needs to see the card.

I have my residency card under my married name but my passport is still with my maiden name. It doesn't expire for another 5 years so I was wondering what kind of documentations to bring with me. I don't know if they will bother me because of the name difference. Thanks!

At least you guys were able to wait!!! There were some times when I called ( I needed to update our address) and I got a message saying something like "all our reps are busy and we expect that you'll have to wait more than X minutes so please call back"
