Hello folks,

This has probably been asked a lot of times so if I am posting in a wrong place, please do let me know!

 

My husband just got DQ'ed last May 26th and we are quite confused on a few things. I know IL will take some time especially since January DQs haven't even gotten theirs, but if someone can answer, that would be very appreciated!

1. For interview, I've seen people say embassy will provide the date, and some booked their own appointments. Which one is it? Also if it's the latter, how do you know if you are allowed to book one already?
2. To book the appointment, am I allowed to create an account on the US traveldocs even if my case is still at NVC (as per CEAC)?

3.  Are tax return transcripts enough proof of requirements that my husband can bring to his interview?

4. Upon arriving in the US, will he automatically get SSN or do we have to apply for it?

5. does anybody know any Group chat we can possibly join to get updates for manila embassy interviews?

 

Thank you so much! 🙏

1.  Unless it is an expedited case, NVC will schedule the interview once your case has reached the front of the queue.

2. See #1

3.  Proof of what requirements do you mean?  Tax transcripts should have already been uploaded at the NVC stage. 

4.  If he marked the box on the DS-260 to receive a Social Security number, the card should be sent automatically after entry.

5.  Whatsapp links are not allowed here on VJ.

Thank you for the response!

1. Cos I saw a lot of people say on online forums that they didn't wait for the IL and actually booked an interview on their own so for what cases are those?

3. I saw a notice somwehere on NVC to bring original copies of required documents.

As mentioned above, unless the case has been expedited, NVC (or the consulate) will schedule the visa interview.  If you did not expedite, you do NOT book the CR1/IR1 interview appointment yourself.

 

Your spouse beneficiary must bring the originals of all the civil documents uploaded to CEAC, plus PSA CENOMAR/CEMAR.  The interview letter from NVC/USEM will have detailed instructions on what to bring to the interview.
