US Immigration from Ghana

Hello, my husband and I did the CR1 Process in 2017 and were approved in 2019. He entered the USA 2 years after our marriage in Ghana and I was told he would be given a 10 year green card and not a 2 year. However, in 2019 when he came to the USA he only got a 2 year visa so when it was time to renew his green card we did the I-751 form. Well we just got notice From USCIS that our petition I-751 to remove conditions on Residence was denied because he should had been granted the Permanent residence without conditions (IR1) instead of the CR1.

Therefore, we need to file I-90 to receive the 10 year green card without additional fees because of DHS error.

However, when filling out this form I am stuck on Part 3. can anyone who has done this form please help me?

Part 3

1. Location where you applied for Immigrant visa or adjustment of status?

is that talking about Ghana? where I applied for my husband while doing the CR1 or possibly is it asking where the CR1 was processed like the Nebraska filing center? or is it asking me something else?

2.Location where your immigrant visa was issued or USCIS office where you were granted adjustment or status?

would this be the Ghana Embassy where his visa was issued for him to come to the USA? or not?

any help would be highly appreciated since his 2 year visa expires may 2022 and we been waiting over a year now to get this taken care of.

we also paid $630 for the I-751 form since DHS made an error would they refund us that money since he was supposed to get a 10 year and not a 2 year?

and if so how can we reimbursed that money for their error.

Hi family,

Anyone with advice

I'm f4 visa category, pd 2006,interviewed at Accra embassy Nov 2021, received visa on 13th Jan 2022, but the problem is my marital status is showing single but I'm got married on 8th May 2021 and presented my marriage certificate at the interview. It was even withheld by the embassy n was brought back together with the visa but yet the marital status on visa is single. So please what should I do?

My fianc interviewed for his SSN 15 days after his arrival in the US on a K-1 visa. Everything at the interview went fine and the SSN official said he would get the approval in the mail in 2 weeks and the SSN card in a month. A month came and went and we thought maybe there was a delay due to the holidays. After the holidays, we checked in with our local SSN office and they informed us that Dept. of Homeland Security found an error on our application and it was still pending. SSN office couldn't say what the error was, but they would check and get back to us. After a week of calls with our local SSN office, we were told the error was fixed (SSN office said they were never informed what the error was) and we would be receiving the letter of approval in 2 weeks.

Well, another two weeks went by and we never received the letter. I called the SSN local office and it was back to the story of there was an error on our application (again couldn't say what said error was) and because the K-1 visa was about to expire in a couple of weeks, my fianc would not receive a SSN. The SSN office informed us we could reapply once my fianc 's visa was renewed or extended.

I am pretty confident there was no error on his SSN application/supporting documents (we checked everything over multiple times and the SSN officer we interviewed with also confirmed that the SSN application was filled out correctly and matched the supporting documents). I'm not sure what we could have done differently except checked in earlier when we didn't receive our letter within 2 weeks, but not sure it would have made a difference anyways.

My questions are:

1. Has anyone else experienced this particular issue? Does this happen frequently? (From reading here on VJ, I know many people have issues arise when dealing with the SSA)

2. Any ideas what the error could be that Dept. of Homeland Security was referring to? Just wondering if this issue will pop-up again when he reapplies.

3. From everything that I have read, it seems he will have to wait for his EAD/AP to reapply for his SSN (contrary to what the local SSN officer said) but I wanted to confirm.

Thanks for any insights,

KateD

A friend of mine ran to me for advice regarding to his IR-1 visa interview. He told me that he had no more means to contact his wife because she told him that she want to move on beacuse the long delay with the visa process. Now the emabssy had invited him for interview and needed him to bring his wife 2020 IRS transcript along with him to the interview but he has with him a duely signed public notary/affidavit of same 2020 tax returns which his wife used in completeing the filling of I-864 and this notary/affidavit will expire on 03.09.22. So he is confuse and worried. He want to know if he can still present the notary/affidavit of 2020 tax returns in place of his wife 2020 IRS transcript.. if yes, what will be his response or answer if the consulate officer ask why or what about the 2020 IRS transcript?

Our F2A petition was dq'd in July 2020 and the petition was upgraded to IR1 in May 2021. My question is, how is our petition going to be placed in the IR1 queue at NVC? Are they still going to use the dq date or the date that the petition was upgraded to IR1?
