US Immigration from Mexico

Hello Visa Journey members!

well I finally recieved my EAD/ADVANCE PAROLE COMBO CARD last saturday 27th .

When I got married I changed my last name, I hypenated my mexican lastname with my husbands lastname , so my name on my Marriage Certificate is for example Jane Perez-Doe

all the applications and evidence sent to USCIS incluiding my marriage license, have my name like that (Hyphenated) how ever my NOAs arrived with the last name separated PEREZ DOE, no hypen or dash. when I had my biometrics, I brought this up and they told me that the system didnt allowed HYPHENS/DASH but that my final cards will have it.

NOw....I RECIEVED THE COMBO CARD and the last name is still NOT HYPHENATED: JANE PEREZ DOE.

this is really concerning me.... I tried calling USCIS CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER 1800 375 5283 and there is no WAY I can get an agent to speak to me...the automatic reply system, doesnt allow it. all I could come with is a link for a TYPO CORRECTION on USCIS website.

NOW... I dont know if I should make the change or not? if my marriage certificate has it, my COMBO AND GREEN CARDm should be hyphenated as well correct? I am afraid this will translate in future problems.... with any of my future credit cards, employment, etc.THIS IS all agravated because I need to travel to Mexico this month and I am afraid that if I make the correction on the website, this will mean I need to wait for the card to be reprinted/changed for who knows how long....and if I take the risk and go to mexico with my combo card as it is....would I have problems re/entering the country?

any one with similar experiences? I have ready many cases FROM older years here at VJ, but with NO CONCLUSION. any one with a suggestion? anything could help!

thank you again

Hello everybody!
I have a question!
the consulate is asking me to bring a police certificate or carta de No antecedentes penales to the consulate.
I live in CDMX and currently through Covid they are issuing this certificate online. Does anyone here knows if that s is the correct certificate?
In their website it says

Reglamento Interior del Poder Ejecutivo y de la Administraci n P blica de la Ciudad de M xico, as como la publicaci n en la Gaceta Oficial de la Ciudad de M xico de fecha 12 de octubre de 2020, mediante la cual se establece el Acuerdo por el que se da a conocer la modalidad digital para la expedici n de la Constancia de No Antecedentes Penales por la Secretar a de Gobierno y de No Antecedentes Registrales por la Fiscal a General de Justicia, Ambas de la Ciudad de M xico, numeral Segundo.

I am not sure if this is enough or if I need to try to get an in person police certificate.

Hoping someone can share some light

Thank you!

So we are in the middle of AOS and my step-daughters don't have their EAD's yet. I just adopted them today (so no longer step-daughters) and their names were changed on the court order. What is the best way to get their names updated at USCIS. I am not sure if I can call or do I need to send an letter with the order and where would I send it. I assume NBC but I am not sure. I also wasn't sure if it was something I could do online and upload documents there.

Just a day before my daughters would be outside normal processing times it was to 3.5 Months to 11.5 Months I don't know how it can go from May 30th to March 27th.. It seems this always happens right with they get to June 1st. I wonder if I apply for them to have advance parole would that speed up the EAD as they usually do combo cards. They both had the biometrics back in August and my wife got her EAD in October. This is frustrating as I want to file my taxes soon.

Hello there!

I am trying to finish up the I-944 and it has a list of pubic benefits and asks if ever received them, which includes the following:

1. Any Federal, State, local, or tribal cash assistance for income maintenance;
2. Supplemental Security Income (SSI);
3. Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF);
4. Federal, State or local cash benefit programs for income maintenance (often called General Assistance in the State context, but which may exist under other names);
5. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or formerly called Food Stamps );
6. Section 8 Housing Assistance under the Housing Choice Voucher Program;
7. Section 8 Project-Based Rental Assistance (including Moderate Rehabilitation);
8. Public Housing under the Housing Act of 1937, 42 U.S.C. 1437 et seq.; and
9. Federally funded Medicaid

I am wondering, as an Active Duty military member, do I receive any of these benefits? Because I see on question 19 it has the option to check off that my wife (beneficiary) is a spouse of an active duty person (Me/petitioner).

Mainly asking my current active duty military and veteran folks!
