So we have an AOS interview in a few weeks, and my wife does not speak English fluently.
The letter stating "If you don't speak fluent English, you should bring an interpreter to the interview."

I do speak English Fluently but my wife does not - She is more intermediate.

Do I have to hire an interpreter, or will I be enough since I will attend the interview with her?

Effect of Immigrant Visa Pause on Already-Issued I551 Visas

If a petitioner from the affected countries has already received the I551 immigrant visa stamp in their passport, can they still enter the US for the first time in February or are they affected by this pause?

It sounds like the pause is only on issuing new visas, but I'm wondering if anyone has read anything about how it affects travel after consular approval?

Applying for an SS Card almost a month and a half after arriving and before getting married for a K1 visa - Is that late? Does the Form I-94 really expire for the Social Security office? Did I screw up?

What documents do I need to apply for an SS card?

How Likely Is My Egyptian Mother-in-Law to Get a B2 Visa?

Hi Everyone!

My husband and I are expecting our baby in January. I m a U.S. citizen and my husband is a permanent resident who is expected to receive his citizenship next year. I would really love for my mother-in-law to visit after the baby s birth, both to meet her grandchild and to help out, as I don t have any family nearby.

My question is, how likely is she to be approved for a visitor visa? She s a stay-at-home mom and has never traveled outside of Egypt except to Saudi Arabia for Hajj and Umrah. She s married, and her husband owns a business. She also has land in her name, and their home is jointly owned by both of them. My father-in-law wouldn t be traveling, as he needs to stay and manage his business.

I know the U.S. Embassy in Cairo can be quite strict with visitor visa approvals, so I m curious if anyone has gone through a similar experience or has any insight.

Thank you!

Interview Documents and X-Ray Questions

Two minor questions for anyone who might be able to offer some advice:

1- During the interview, does the officer ask for all documentation at once, or do they ask for specific documents? I divided everything into different files for my mother like "financial documents," "birth certificates," etc. but I can just ask her to take them out of the individual files and put them in one big envelope. Any advice?

2- After the medical, my mother was told that she didn't need any paperwork because it would be sent automatically to the embassy. But the embassy website says:
"When your examination is completed, the doctor will either provide you with exam results in a sealed envelope or send them directly to the U.S. Embassy. IF GIVEN AN ENVELOPE TO CARRY TO YOUR INTERVIEW, DO NOT OPEN THIS ENVELOPE. Instead, bring it to your visa interview. Any x-rays taken will be given to you. You DO NOT need to bring the x-rays to your visa interview unless you suffer from tuberculosis (TB). However, you must carry the x-rays with you when you travel to the United States for the first time. The medical report must be less than six months old when you enter the United States as an immigrant."

Does anyone thing the lack of x-rays will be a problem? I took a look at a couple of older posts here and it sounds like this isn't a big deal.
