US Immigration from France

Good afternoon, everyone. I am helping a relative on their form I 864. He attended his interview in Qatar, and they have asked him how many live in his wife's household and he said, 6. We only put 3 on Part 5 of the original form. 1 for the immigrant 1 for her and 1 for her child. She will not be using the income from her parents but now they want her to submit a new I 864 because she did not include them on there. As far as I know it should be only 3 and not to include the household size unless we use their income. What should I do? Should I just submit I 864 again and add them on Part 5 #7 or should i also submit I 864 A because I am adding them on # 7. The note says to please submit new I 864 Form with accurate household info. Everyone in the house should be included. How can I do that? Your help is truly appreciated. Thank You.

He's here! He arrived yesterday. I'm trying to print the I94 to bring to the SS office to apply for his SSN.

So first, the instructions here say to put the A# in for the document number on the I94 form online. I tried that and no record came up. However when I put in his visa number, we had his travel history, including this trip. Is that the "I94"? It doesn't say "I94" anywhere on the page. Do I just print the Travel History there and bring it?

Second, do we apply for the SSN for his daughter at the same time?

TIA for any help!

Hi,

My EB2-NIW petition has been approved, and I have an immigrant visa interview scheduled for next week at Paris consulate, France.

I have a question regarding the interview process.

Could anybody please share his/her interview experience? What questions were asked? Were you approved for the visa?

I have two interviews scheduled on two consecutive days. (First is a screening interview and second is an interview with a consular officer).

Thanks and regards,

Hi everyone,

My priority date is current, and I have received the interview letter. My appointment is scheduled for 16/07/2025. (EB2-NIW).

Location: Paris, France

I have a question:

Currently, I am not working because my postdoctoral fellowship contract has ended. I am actively applying for jobs and also started writing a project.

How can I explain my current status during the interview at the U.S. consulate?

What should I say or do to justify my situation?

Is there any negative impact on my case?

Also, any possible ask questions?

I would appreciate your guidance.

Thank you in advance.

The more I read here, the more I'm a bit lost.

So forgive me if this has been covered but I'm trying to be sure that I "get it."

My fiance is coming July 16 with his daughter (on the K1) and his cat. The plan is: we file for the marriage license the next day, July 17, and as soon as it's issued, we get married.

Could we go to the Social Security office the same day we file for the marriage license? The time line below says that we should apply for his SSN before getting married. We don't need to wait for his SSN to apply for the marriage license? Do we?

In PA it takes 3 days to get a marriage license, so I don't want to wait because I could only take off 2 weeks from work to get as much as possible done. Also: on the app for the SSN card it states that our proof of documentation must be certified original copies. If we use the I-94 travel document, he gets that when he comes into the country, correct? We won't need the actual certified marriage certificate? How many certified copies should I ask for?

What about his daughter? One of the links here stated that she must have her EAD before she can file for the SSN.

Does anyone have experience with this? Does this mean that she won't be able to also open a bank account (or do much of anything really) until much later than him since she'll be waiting on the EAD?

What about him? How long does it usually take to get the SSN and have the ability to open a bank account and move his funds?

The timeline after he arrives really confuses me.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
