How on earth did he have a social security number? Did he steal an actual SS number?....if that's the case, then, as far as I'm concerned, he should have a permanent ban.

 

Nope.. He has a perfectly legal social security number. It wasn't valid for employment. But he still used it to work. And we still used to then file taxes every year.. You should ask before assuming. It's offensive. My husband isn't a criminal. He never asked his parents to take him to the U.S. He did the best he could with his situation. He worked. Graduated from High School. Did 2 years of University. He was even in the Police Explorers and Jrotc. He contributed tp society, never took handouts or committed a crime.

At one time anybody could get one, not sure when they changed it, or you bought one.

A hijack post has been split from this thread, moved to the CR-1 Case Progress subforum, and given the topic title "How Long to Wait for Interview?  [split topic]."

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

This is all wrong.  Marriage based visas are applied for an issued OUTSIDE the US, so he will need one in order to enter the US.  With a marriage based visa, there is no Adjusting Status.

I know they are issued OUTSIDE the US. I made a mistake regarding my statement about adjusting status (and I realize that) so no need to be rude. My experience was the K1 and I wasn't taking into consideration the detailed differences between the fiance and marriage visa (when I should have). That being said, I'm not ALL wrong. The point was a marriage based visa is needed in this case and they have to wait 3 years.
