US Immigration from Chile

Hi Everyone,

My Fiancee arrived here in the US about 20 days ago. Everything has been going smoothly and we are happy to finally be together again!

After searching the forums I saw that it was advisable to apply for a SNN after 2 weeks so we waited 2 whole weeks and went to the SS Administration office last Friday. The girl only asked if we had an "original I-94" and I told her we only had the I-94 that we printed from the website. She then said gave us a document (in Spanish) after 10 minutes of typing. The document says that they need to verify some documents to check her immigration status and it could take up to 4 weeks. The only part we did not understand was what are we supposed to do next. A.) Go back in 4 weeks and see if the card is issued? or B.) Just wait for it to come into the mail after 4 weeks?

Does anyone know if it really takes that long for a SSN to be generated? It's been a while since this whole immigration process has made me nervous but now I'm really worried about her getting a SSN so she can open a US Bank Account and get a US Drivers license.

After we get married we then change her name at the SS Administration office then file AOS? Does anyone know how long it takes for the AOS?

Thanks!!

My fianc got approved for his K1 visa a few weeks ago, received it in the mail, got his flight. He s currently at the airport for his flight that was supposed to take off in 10 minutes. At check in, they asked for his visa number. He was confused since he thought it was in the sealed envelope. An hour later, on the phone with a USCIS office in Miami who gave authorization to open the envelope, they admit that the US embassy in Santiago must ve messed up and not put his Visa in his passport.

i don t even know what advice I m asking for or where to even begin. The US embassy in Chile is closed since its 9 pm. At this point, he s missed his flight, obviously. He has to apparently go back to the Embassy to get this passport stamp. I m googling and I can t even find this type of situation ever happening before. I m devastated as I was supposed to have my fianc here tomorrow after a year of waiting, and now we don t know what s going to happen. Has anyone ever heard of this situation before? The US Embassy somehow approving of your Visa and then.. sending you your passport without it? How long it takes to rectify the mistake? Just feeling so lost right now.

Good morning

Im wondering if someone else will be in the Oath Ceremony this 05/30 in Buffalo NY.
