US Immigration from Mexico

Hello,

I just got my green card, but I am in the process of changing my legal name in SS office, once I get my new SS card with the new name, I will change my name in green card with the form I-90, my question is if I Can travel outside US while I am waiting for the new green card with the new legal name.

I will appreciate your help.

My wifes interview was on April 12th. It was approved and we got her greencard later that week.

My stepson case status (age 6, age 4 when filed) also was approved and we got the approval notice in the mail that also stated we should get his greencard within 30 days. On day 30 we got a USCIS letter for a biometrics appointment for his i485

He did his biometrics for his i485 in Nov. 2019. Any idea why theyd want a second? Especially if they already approved the greencard?

Is it normal for biometrics to have to be done again???

His interview was waived on the 12th by the officer interviewing my wife.

My fianc e and I are currently waiting on Ciudad Juarez to reschedule her K1 visa interview (originally scheduled for August 2020 before being cancelled). In the meantime, she is going to come visit me on a tourist visa. Her previous B2 visa expired fall 2020. She has a renewal interview waiver but still has to bring her paperwork to the ASC in Merida at the end of this month.

My question is: does anyone know how long it is taking embassies in Mexico (or specifically Merida) to process and deliver the B1/B2 visas from renewal interview waived applications after the embassy has the paperwork?

From what I have read in the past it is usually only a few weeks but I don't know if that it still true given the unusual times we are living in.

An information would be great!

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would post this because I tried to search online and every source said to paper file because the IRS takes a long time to update their SSN database. This is not true.

My Spouse (beneficiary) applied for her SSN on 04/29/2021 and on 05/04/2021, we received her SSN card. I immediately tried to E-file but the efile kept getting rejected because the Last Name or SSN of my Spouse did not match the IRS records. I checked with tax professionals and was told to file by mail with a copy of her SSN Card. I decided to wait and called SSA to verify her name and information. They confirmed that her information is correct and told me that SSA send IRS updated records every 8 to 10 days so to wait.

This morning, I decided to resubmit the returns online and they were both finally accepted.

So to everyone with newly issued SSN Cards and being rejected when efiling due to last name or SSN mismatch: All you have to do is wait another week and your records should be transferred to IRS. Be sure to call SSA to make sure they have the name and DOB correct as well.

Good luck.

For those of us waiting At NVC for a K1 interview at Cuidad Juarez, new update that ALL K visas will now be scheduled for interview at the Mexico City embassy. My case has been At NVC since November 2020. Today I called the NVC and was provided my new case number which starts with MEX.
