Hi everyone,

I have a question, can someone who already have a tourist visa, has been approved by USCIS, DQ'ed at NVC and is waiting for F2A visa interview letter, travel to the USA ?

Thank you everyone again. I do have some questions

1. When should one pay for the green card production fee of $220 in order to get the green card as soon as possible once entry is made into the USA ? I already see the payment instructions on page 1 of this thread( How to pay the Green Card Production fee of $220 on the Elis system)

2. Is the issue of SSN automatic or one needs to go to the local SSA office to apply for one? I did copy and paste the below insert from page 1 of this thread. 

 

(******************Tips about your getting your SSN******************

If you don't have your SSN card within 21 days of your POE,  go IN PERSON to your local SSA office and see if your  application was forwarded by the Immigration officer.   It only works about 50% of the time when you tick  the box on the DS-260. As soon as you have your SSN you  may work.  Your passport visa and the immigration stamp  is the equivalent of your green card. )

Hi everyone,

My husband's interview was today and he was approved. He said it was straightforward, they asked for his civil papers originals (birth certificate, marriage certificate, 2 police certificates - one from UAE and one from Jordan) 
They asked how we met, who is the joint sponsor. 

He was in and out in less than 2 hours.

I have asked several CBP agents about this and got the same response from all; technically you should not apply for a non-immigrant (tourist) visa while an immigrant visa is in process. Secondly, just because you have a non-immigrant visa it doesn't automatically give you admission to the US; it is up to the CBP officer to decide on your admission.

 

I have entered the US since my immigrant visa was initiated however my case is slightly different than yours in that I am Canadian and Canadians don't need to apply for a non-immigrant tourist visa to enter the US; the visa is automatically generated when you are granted admission.

Thank you so much for your response and clarifying it for me. Really appreciate your help.
