US Immigration from Colombia

Just got back from the North Carolina DMV for my wife's ID Card. I wanted to get the real ID, but didn't get it because of the ignorance of immigration status and laws set.

There were two options.

1. I-551 green card.

2. Valid, Unexpired Foreign Passport with unexpired visa and a I-94.

Because I have the Temp I-551 CR1 visa with the endorsement, he was asking me for the I-94. I kept telling him that she didn't get one because the visa turns into a green card and isn't required for permanent residents.

So, now I have to wait for the physical green card just to prove I was right all along. They didn't take thr time to read the visa and what it had to say.

It gets so frustrating when government agencies don't talk to one another or people want to be incompetent and ignorant by not listening to the customer at hand.

Good morning.

I will keep it short but I appreciate any help. My wife and stepdaughter's I-485 was denied in September for no joint sponsor as requested by the RFE. My brother was going to sign but his wife decided not to do so. We have no joint sponsor.

I will be contacting an immigration attorney when able. My income alone will meet the requirements this year with no issues. My wife and daughter are not in deportation proceedings as far as I can tell though they remain with me in the USA.

I suspect deportation hearings take a long time to be scheduled especially ones that are not for national security reasons/ dangerous persons.

The denial letters say that we cannot appeal but if we receive a Notice to Appear we will have the opportunity to renew the adjustment of status. But who knows how long the NOA would actually take.

Does anyone know if I can simply refile the I-485 paperwork with the new evidence (also have to pay fees again)? OR

Wait and show the new evidence at the deportation hearing? Thank you in advance.

We were recent victims of property theft. My Wife s passport from Venezuela was stolen. Since there is no embassy or consulate in the US what are our options? We have pictures of the passport and visa but I m not sure what good that will do for us. Thanks for any help you can provide for us.

DS-260: Checked the box to have DHS send the information to SSA to produce a card after POE entry.

12/05/2023 Entered MIA

12/18/2023 Stopped by Myrtle Beach SSA to verify information. Was non-existent.

12/21/2023 Called SSA Main Number, Hold for 1 hour and spoke with someone incompetent of the immigration services,

was put on hold 4 times, extra 35 min and still got nothing to work with

12/28/2023 Decided to go to local SSA Office without an appointment. Brought the SSA 5 application, Passport with Visa and Visa Stamp, foreign birth certificate and its translation.

Asked the women if she could double check the computers again to see if the information was transferred. No luck.

The women took the SS5 and applied for the SSA card manually. Took about 5 min and was told to wait two weeks for the verification and delivery of the card.

I would say give it a week and go to the SSA office with SS5 filled out, Passport with Visa stamp and their birth certificate (translated just incase). Check to see if your information is entered into the computer automatically from the DS-260. If it is not, request that they order a SSA number instead of waiting longer.

My Colombian fiance had his medical exam and interview November of last year. He disclosed he smokes marijuana so they gave him the sheet of paper of why he wasn't able to get his visa, checked 1A4 because of his drug use with directions to try again in a year. So he had another medical exam November of this year. We then got an email stating he needs to bring his passport to the embassy and pay the visa fee. He did that yesterday, they took his money, and then they again gave him the paper checked 1A4 with a note stating he needs to come back in a year. Does that mean he failed his drug test? How many times will they tell us the same thing? We have two kids so this is devastating news. Is there anything we can do? I'm so in the dark, any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you.
