US Immigration from Kenya

My now wife arrived to the States on October 3, 2021 on her K1. Her I-94 expires December 31, 2021. Our local SSA office operates by appointments only. We applied for an appointment on October 18th and received an appointment for November 22nd. At the appointment, my wife filed her application and documents for a SSN and was told she d receive her card within 4 weeks. On December 23rd we received a letter stating that she could not be issued a SSN because her legal immigration status will expire prior to the time an SSN can be issued. This is quite frustrating as the only reason this is the case is because of the SSA s delays. We traveled over the Christmas weekend so didn t see the notice until this evening. We plan to call tomorrow to dispute the conclusion (as directed in the letter).

Has anyone had a similar experience and, if so, what action(s) did you take to overcome the SSA s determination?

Hi all,

Quick one! How long is one supposed to stay in the US after receiving green card (F2B) before coming back home to marry so as to start F2A immigration process for spouse and child? Is there a set/recommended timeline? Thanks a lot

Has anyone amended taxes and received a refund after their spouse joined them in the USA.

We have amended from single to married filling jointly.

Hi all, I arrived in the US and currently waiting for my social security card. I start my new job in 2 weeks. If I call the SS national toll free number 1-800-772-1213 will I get an update on whether my card is being worked on? Thanks for the advise.

I have my AOS through marriage interview in a few days and I also have a pending asylum. My question is should I expect questions regarding my asylum at the marriage based green card interview? Anyone with experience please guide me. Thank you
