That is pretty much covered in my signature:

 

February 22nd 2017: Documents recieved by NVC (FedEx confirmation).

April 28th 2017: NVC case approved. Awaiting Interview Scheduling at US Embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus

May 3rd 2017: Interview scheduled at US Embassy in Nicosia, Cyprus for June 9th 2017

Hi All,

We had our interview on April 24th, and were approved, so just waiting for the entry visa. Very exciting!

 

One useful thing we discovered is this link through which we were able to look at the status of our application after the interview. This was useful because we needed to submit a few additional documents.

 

Best of luck to everyone still working on this

Does anyone here have any information about acquiring a SS# for a new CR-1 immigrant? When we filed the DS-260, we indicated that we did want a SS#, but are unsure when we should expect to receive it. I've also read a few forum posts on here that indicate that the system is less than reliable and that in some cases people just end up going directly to the SSA office. Has anyone here gone through this process, or just received their card upon requesting it in the DS-260? If so, how long did it take?

 

Thanks!

I have the same question!

if u request SSN card in DS-260, the SSN card may arrived within 2~4 weeks after POE

so if u don't hear anything after 2 weeks, then contact the local SSA

I arrived Portland OR in May 30th, and I received SSN card in June 6th (pretty lucky..)

however, I did hear some people waiting over than a month, I think it may depends on which POE u take

now I am still waiting for my plastic green card (I called USCIS, they said it took 120 days after u paid immigration fee...damn...)
