Green Card Application Procedures

My husband and I went to USCIS Application Support Center this morning. He sent all the necessary documents in applying for a green card. If you came here to America under K1 Fiance(e) Visa, this may help you.

Here are the few things that might help you:

1. Authenticated Birth Certificate.

You can get this at National Statistics Office. Click here to know more

2. Medical statement or medical summary from S.L.M.C.E. For reference.

3. G-325A Biographic form. Your new information after you get married will be
listed here. You can download the form with the same site where you downloaded
it when you were applying for your K1 visa, the one you sent to your petitioner
that is in the US.

4. Income Tax Statement of Statement of Support. This is from your petitioner
that you married with.

5. 2 copies of passport size picture. It should be taken in less than a month.

6. A copy of your marriage certificate.

7. Payments for the green card processing.


After completion of all the requirements, you and your husband or wife which was your petitioner can mail all the documents together with the check as payment in the state where your husband or the person you married to is residing.

In less than a week, we received a notice telling me what to bring and to check if they got all my information correct. In less than a week, I got the confirmation date for my biometrics appointment.

When you receive the first letter of notification from USCIS, they will tell you what are the other things that you have to do. If you completed all these steps, you are on your way for your green card. You will be notified if your application is granted.

Good luck!

Max And Padre Stole The Day

February 15 was mom's birthday but we celebrated it on the 14th, Valentine's day. Mom was very happy on that day. We played cards, though I never really play cards I can say that I am always having fun playing cards with my new family. I love them so much.
Max and Padre' are mom's angels. These two fellahs are always happy to see us whenever we come to visit mom and Nannie. But they have their own characters. Max is a very happy dog who will always try his best to attract your attention and never gets tired. Padre' is the reserved one. He will just sit or lie on his blanket and it is Max who will come and disturb his silence. They are so cute and lively. So lovable.

It was Ginger in the picture. My husband's youngest sister. It was our first time to meet in person and just like Nannie, she is a very sweet and happy person. She laughs a lot and full of spirit. It's so fun to be around her.

Valentine's Day With The In-Laws

Mom while opening the gifts that she received from her daughters. She didn't know I was taking her pictures and she was all smiling in this one. It was so nice to see her smiling all the time. she is the most wonderful mother-in-law in the whole universe.


I don't know if it's unusual but for me, it is. My husband and I spent our Valentine's day with his family, my in-laws. It was actually our first valentine's Day together, in person but it was the happiest Valentine's Day ever for the two of us. I have a very loving and wonderful in-laws. Mom (my husband's mother) loves me and treats me as her very own daughter and I am very grateful for her. Nannie, she is such a wonderful sister-in-law. I love them all. Whenever we are together, mom, Nannie, husband and I, the house will be filled with fun and laughter. Must not forget Max and Padre. Two handsome angels in mom's house.
