US Immigration from Mexico

Hey all,

Looking through the posts and I see that most of the new citizens applied for their passport before their SS card.

I will be updating my social security card (with a name change) first before my passport.

Reason for me is that I ship to military training in mid May, and I must have my updated Social Security card and updated DL in order for me to ship.

In case you didn't know, here in CA in order to get a new DL your SS number needs to be updated first. Not sure if it's like that in all States honestly.

Hopefully I can have everything done before I leave lol.

The passport can wait for me until I come back.

Anyone else request their SS number first?

Quick timeline:

3/31/21 - Documents dropped off at USPS to be mailed to SSA local office.

Hello.

We have a unmarried adult daughter with an approved I-130 as an F1 category from Mexico. THE worst place to be from. She's been waiting in the line for 8 years now and the wait has actually grown longer. They are currently processing Feb 1998 for her category and she has an filing date of 2013. So, unless something changes, she will die before she gets to the front of the line!

BUT things might change; if the new policy proposal concerning family based visas is revised as proposed, then they have indicated that they want clear this backlog and increase the cap, so then she might become current soon. Even so, the time it will take them to process 15 years of application backlogs for Mexico alone before her priority date will still likely be years.

Meanwhile some friends she works for in Mexico want to hire her to come work for them in the US and believe that they can get her an employment based visa. I don't know how likely that is to succeed but it's their intention.

My question is if anyone knows about or has experience with a situation where you have an approved but wait-listed I-130 and then simultaneously, a new petitioner applies for an EB(3) visa for the same beneficiary. Would one application cancel or affect the other?

We would hate to lose her I-130 approval to the EB application, especially if that application were rejected!

I have not been able to find anything about this, though I'm sure there is a policy stated somewhere!

TIA,

Steve

Hello,

I've read that metal earrings, watches etc are not allowed into the embassy during the interview. My question is, would two prong metal fasteners to secure paperwork be allowed? Thanks!

Hi!

I know this might not sit well with some but here we go.

We currently have a K1 visa application wating at NVC (NOA2 April 9, 2020) due to COVID everything came to an end and we're on hold now.

Back in November I (the petitoner ) got COVID aand my fiancee came to take care of me, she stayed for the holidays and right after the holidays I had an ultrasound that showed a tumor.

I had surgery last week and had the biopsy done (currently waiting results) but now we both dont want to be seperated and are seriously consiering doing AOS and forgetting our K1.

Her six month permit ends in May, any suggestions on how to start or if we should wait?

Wondering if there has been recent appointments for Juarez?? Case completed was 9/11/19. Wondering if we are getting near or moving along!! I wish they could faster.
