US Immigration from Indonesia

Hi all!

My IR1 visa was approved and issued, YAY! So happy and thankful for all of you guys on VJ.

- What are the next steps to get my SSN?

- Do I need to apply for it or will I automatically get it with the GC? I read something about applying for it within 90 days, is this correct?

- And then do I file I-485 / Form S-5? I plan on working as soon as I can, I know I can with the VISA but I think some employers prefer the SSN?

Will the GC be mailed to my US address ( I did check that on the DS-260) and what do I do if it doesn't come? How long should I expect to wait?

I tried to find the answers on here but struggled because some were for K1 visas and I think the process is different, but not sure.

Anyways, thanks in advance.

Hi, i have a boyfriend from America, Im from Indonesia. We have a plan to get married after 1 year dating.
I really wanna have a baby as soon as possible bcoz thats my dream.
My boyfriend after we got married doesnt wanna stay here in Indonesia.
He wants me to move there.
So, after I got married here, can I just get pregnant before i get the citizenship greencard?

is it permitted?
And how is the law for me and my future baby in America?
And do u think i should get married in my country first or in America?

Hi all, just wondering if it's possible to use the principal immigrant's (NOT the sponsor's) parent's assets to supplement the income requirement for the affidavit of support?

of course I am not relying on them 100%-- but I'd like to show to the consulate officer that if things get rough my parents will be able to help me.

Hello everyone hope you are doing really well so far.

I would like to ask, if I already got K1 visa, can I marry with US citizen in my country first (marry at church without any judges) before I go to the US? Or I still need to marry with him in the USA?

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Best,

Gabby

I was a US green-card holder years ago, then abandoned it (the USCIS approved my I-407 - Record on Abandonment Lawful Permanent Resident Status) . I now have a B1/B2 visa, and my (US citizen) spouse is filing an I-130. In the Beneficiary Info section, it asks whether I was EVER in immigration proceedings. I assume I need to say Yes due to my previous I-130? If I select Yes however, we're not sure what to do with the next set of questions.

I never had a "proceeding" - I summited a form by mail to abandon my previous green card (as explained above) . How do we handle this on the I-130 ?

Thank you in advance before
