Thank God we finally got through the visa process and my dear one is here and we are now married. She came on a K-1 Visa. However, I continue to be absolutely confused as to whether she needs any TB testing to be done here before filing the I-485 (with the I-693 Vaccination Supplement). She had her medical exam done in GZ in December, 2008. She does not recall having a TB test at the time and does have chest X-ray films in her possession from that exam. Do we need to do any further TB testing before filing for AOS, or is the vaccination supplement sufficient? Thanks.

My fiancee and I are in the fraud/misrepresentation on a previous K-1 application trap, and it appears that we do not face a happy outcome to the I-601 waiver application that we filed in March, 2008. Does anyone know of a good attorney in GZ or Shenzhen that might be able to help us? We should have done this in March when her visa was denied, but I guess hindsight is always 20-20. It is hard to know what to do when obstacles are encountered in this process. Thanks for any suggestions, and good luck to everyone.

My fiancee had her interview in March, 2008. Everything was going well, the VO said she would approve and then noticed something on the file indicating that she is inadmissible due to misrepresentation on her previous K1 application from 5 years ago. The circumstances around that application were 1)Consulate approved the application, but visas were not being issued due to 9/11-related processing changes. 2)Due to long delay in issuing visa, petitioner eventually gave up and withdrew the petition. The misrepresentation allegation found its way to her file after the petition was withdrawn. We were told at the interview that our only recourse was to file a I-601 Waiver application, which we did on 3/18 - still in Administrative Processing. We have never found out the exact nature of the alleged misrepresentation, but it seems from reading some other posts that this can occur due to a snag in the way the petition was withdrawn, and probably there was really not any intentional misrepresentation, which is what I have thought all along. Does anyone have any experience with this situation, and can you suggest any action that can be taken other than wasting more of our lives waiting for DHS to process the I601?

Does anyone have experience with obtaining health insurance coverage for their fiancee upon arrival in the US and prior to marriage when she can be added to coverage at work as a spouse? Thanks.

I seem to be getting some conflicting information about this, but does anyone with a K1 visa have experience on being able to obtain a social security number upon arrival in the US? Thanks.

Thanks to all of you for your kind wishes. Did run into a little snag, as DOS told me on Friday 2/1 that we had the interview date, but when I called the embassy on the following Monday to confirm, they were quite adamant that no date had been set. From what I have learned, that seems to be normal - that DOS will tell you before the embassy does, and that the P4 is actually mailed out about a week after the date that DOS quotes. Anyway, I think I'm confident about the date, and wish the best for all of you guys. Ralph

Thank you, Michaelt for the kind wishes. Hope all goes well for you and yours.

Hello everyone. We received an interview date of March 13 on last Friday, and I am trying to plan for airline reservations. Assuming we are successful in obtaining the visa, I understand that it can be picked up at a post office location in GZ in two business days. Does anyone out there have experience or knowledge about the reliability of the two business day timeframe? Northwest Airlines has some great fares to GZ now, and I would love to nail that down. Am currently thinking about making the return reservation on March 19 to give a little cushion in case there is any problem in getting the visa. Thanks.

Sorry, I'm still new to this site. But where do you see the "blue slip tab" on the timelines?
