2019年的八月是我來美國的十週年
公證結婚之後 (大概花了10-15分鐘) 就可以立刻拿到婚姻證明 (Marriage Certificate)
也算是我人生一個很重要的里程碑
想說藉由我這個沒人看的網誌來記錄以及分享整個結婚綠卡申請流程
我大概六七月就收到我爸媽幫我在台灣翻譯的出生證明,戶口名簿,以及無犯罪證明
請翻譯社翻譯完之後再拿去法院證明
前前後後到寄到美國也大概花了將近一個月
算是一開始最大的關卡

移民體檢@Pennsylvania Union Medical Center
Dr. Weiguo Li
625 Clark Avenue Suite 17a
King of Prussia PA 19406
610-768-7168
Dr. Li 是我在USCIS網站上找到的移民醫師
非常專業也動作很快
因為我在台灣的疫苗紀錄都找不到了
所以驗血之後Dr. Li再針對需要補打的項目重新施打疫苗
整個程序大概只有麻疹疫苗因為缺貨要等個幾天
但大約一個星期就可以拿到彌封的I-693

在Treddyfin Township courthouse, PA 和交往四年半的麥特先生完成我們人生重要大事 - 結婚! (這個有可能需要用另外一篇文章來敘述了)
District Court House: 950 W Valley Rd, Wayne, PA 19087
我們大概是一個月之前打電話去預約的
問了一些我們的基本資料, 法官Judge Analisa Sondergaard是個非常友善的年輕女法官
場地不大, 但也容納得下我們雙方大概將近20個人的親友
整個程序是免費的, 但法官請我們分享我們如何在一起的故事
倒也是挺有趣的
我們是一個禮拜之後有直接去Chester County Office申請Certification of Marriage Record
當下就可以拿到, 附在申請文件裡面看起來比較正式一點

整理了許久的資料, 分門別類, 以及參考網路上的攻略
加上八月份USCIS更新了三個表格所以要重新填
到了九月最後一天我終於完成了...真的是一件重大的工程
我跟麥特兩個人反覆檢查之後, 我把所有資料包著泡泡防撞紙
就在十月的第一天Post Office早上一開門懷著忐忑的心去寄包裹
從費城近郊寄過去大約花兩天, 費用差不多$14美元倒是出乎意料的便宜
因為我是全部一起申請的(包含I-130, I-485, I-864, I-131, and I-765)
所以我是寄到芝加哥的地址
USCIS
PO Box 805887
Chicago, IL 60680-4120
Tracking #: 9505513917229274367018
(寄出去之後不知道接下來過程如何, 就只能靜觀其變, 希望能再繼續更新了...)
