US Immigration from Greece

Hello forum,

I been lurking in this forum for some time keeping up to date on how processing works and trying to get the best info available through others hardships and processes.

I have a question because it has stumped me and I cant understand the next step.

Provided all paperwork to the NVC on April 22nd, fees were paid and approved. DS 260 was sent, as well as Financial and Civil paperwork.

We requested a expedite from the both the NVC and the US Consulate in Athens, Greece.

The US Consulate has approved the expedite (due to medial grounds, my wife has Multiple Sclerosis and is alone in Greece till she joins me in the US.). When the US Consulate approves the expedite what is the usual next step?

Thank you for any info anybody provides and I hope whoever is going through this gets back to their families as soon as possible.

Hey guys,

I have already issued SSN and went today back to SSO office to change my name but as my stamp is till May 2, they could not issue me a new one. I will actually send tomorrow the I-485+ AP/EAD bundle.

Q1 now I should go back to SSO after my i485 approval?

Q2 will I encounter any issues with my SSN to be with my old name?

Ps: im planning next week to go at Bank for a joint account with my husband.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I see the Greek community is very small on the forum, and I was hoping to get some info on what dates the US embassy in Athens, Greece is working on for the IR1 category.

Have been DQ for 10 months as an F2A category and upgraded to IR1 last month for an overall wait of 11 months from DQ.

Much appreciated!

Hi all,

It has been 10 months since my DQ date (Back in May 2021) and two weeks ago NVC upgraded my case from F2A to IR1. While they upgraded my case, they mistakenly changed my DQ date to the date they upgraded my case, I noticed they did that because I got a second DQ message on CEAC. I immediately called NVC to find out why and they confirmed they mistakenly changed the DQ date but it should now take 1-6 weeks just to fix the date. How is this even possible? Their mistake and it might take them up to month and a half to fix this? Is there anything else I should do about it?

Also, It doesn't seem like there are a lot of people here that have an IR1 case for Athens, but does anybody know what cases are they processing at the moment? What is the current timeline?

Thanks
