I really appreciate everybody on this forum. I finally got my VISA today via the courier service. I did my interview in LONDON on 3rd of february and I was told to go and get police certificate with the fingerprint done in the UK and 2008 1040 federal tax form from my sponsor and courier it back to them. I got the 2 documents they asked me to get and courier it back to them last week and I finally got my VISA today.

My questions are;

1. How do u know ur point of entry (POE) because there was nothing like that on the visa?
2. Can I also change my address at the point of entry because the address on the documents sent to me was the one I used when I was filling the form DS230 which is my friends address, and it is completely different to my sponsors address?

Also u guys shud still remember me in prayer bcos my wife still need to do her own interview in Nigeria although it has been stated in my own visa that i am married.

Once again thanx so much for all the contributions so far on this great forum.

Congrats! You can choose your own POE...just pick a flight and wherever you enter the country will be your POE.

For most government issues papers, etc. it is within 10 days after you move that you have to give notice of your new address. On the GC it self it doesn't have an address but you probably need to get an US ID which mostly is a drivers license which is asked almost every where and nowadays very common to have to show with credit card payments in certain stores and when you return an item.

Not giving notice for example your DL if you move within 10 days is against the law and you can receive a ticket for not doing that.

Yes you can change it at the POE, just let the officer who will handle your docs aware that you want to change the address where you will receive your SSN and GC.
 
SSN is something you have to apply for in person when you recieved your GC and you don't have to give notice of change of address is you don't have a SSN yet. It isn't something that will get mailed to you without having applied for in person with the proper documentation.

My friend had a SSN but needed something changed and after she got her passport stamped and received the welcome letter she sent copies of that + DL + SSN to SSN and got it all back since copies aren't allowed...Only certified copies or originals and she was advised to come in person since certified copies (notorized copies aren't allowed either) are hard to get and nobody in their right mind will send originals...

You need to give a change of address for the GC to arrive or pick it up at the original delivery address which might be less of a risk of things to be sent to the wrong place....
 
Hi friends,

does anybody knows where I can get "2008 1040 Federal tax form"? Actually, I've found such a form but it's for 2009 not 2008. Thanks

I dont understand ur own case but in my own case I was told to collect it from my sponsor (i.e the person that filled affidavit of support form I-134 for u) and immediately I told him about the form, he got the form and sent it to me.
