Renting while AOS pending no SSN

Good morning VJ!

 

My husband and I are beginning to run into some issues. At least where I am, most rental homes want ALL adults 18+ to fill out an application and submit documentation for rental homes, so simply putting everything under my name only isn't possible. Plus I would love for both of us to be on the lease for our AOS interview since my bank is being difficult about adding him with no SSN.  I am a USC and he is adjusting from K1 and we have been married almost 6 months already and our case appears to just be sitting in a pile since biometrics almost 3 months ago.  I did not get him a SSN while his i-94 was valid, which is turning out to be a nightmare!  I've offered to send over copies of our marriage certificate, our AOS NOA1 or notice of biometrics, or even his A number.  The rental company does NOT want any of that. They want an American ID and SSN, period. Any advice from couples in a similar situation? We already gave our 60 day notice at our current place so I am a complete stress ball.

K1 process:

  • 10-28-2020 - i-129f Received at Lockbox          
  • 12-08-2020 - NOA1 
  • 06-14-2021 - RFE 
  • 07-06-2021 - NOA2
  • 08-19-2021 - Arrived at Embassy
  • 10-07-2021 - Checklist received
  • 10-21-2021 - Interview & Approval
  • 12-29-2021 - Marriage :)

AOS:

  • 01-29-2022 - Package sent to Phoenix Lockbox
  • 02-02-2022 - Credit Card Charged
  • 02-12-2022 - Notice of Biometrics
  • 03-09-2022 - Biometrics Appointment

I had some of the same issue, though not joint lease my name has been put on contract so that i have same adress as my husband and "allowed" to stay at the house at all times.

Took me a lot of explaining ... i ended up sending passport copy, esta copy and danish police report that i have no convictions.

Payed the fee and finally got on the lease. But it took 3 months. We are going to file for cr1 shortly...

Most doesn't automatically mean all.  Find a real estate agent who specializes in (or will handle) rentals, explain, and promise that you'll provide him/her future referrals of anyone whom you learn is seeking to buy or rent.

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

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.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

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."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

We ended up not being allowed to put my husband on the lease without an SSN. We got denied so many times because landlords couldn’t run a background check on him. It was very sad and frustrating but thankfully I qualified for everything on my own.
