US Immigration from Netherlands

I applied in-person for an SSN card two weeks ago and have since received my SSN. However; when I try using it, for example with my bank; I keep getting on my SSN. I have an established credit history through my EIN (sole proprietor), so the lack of history isn't the issue. Am I missing something here, or when can I expect to be able to actually *use* my new SSN?

Hello all,

This post has three questions, so thank you in advance for your time! Just received an email from NVC stating that an interview has been scheduled with the consulate (Amsterdam). It is one calendar week from today, but my husband (the applicant) is currently visiting in the US on ESTA. We want to try to reschedule but the case is not showing up in the system yet. It states "Immigrant visa case number provided is not ready to schedule an appointment." The system tells us to wait 5 business days to see if the case shows up, but the interview is is 5 business days away. Does anyone know how long it usually takes for it to show online? We called (and actually got a hold of) NVC, but they said they can no longer reschedule interviews, and the Amsterdam consulate only provides an email address to contact them at.

The second question is, should we allot for any significant time between the medical exam and the interview? How long before the interview should the medical exam take place?

Third and final question, how long does it usually take between the interview and the passport to come back? (Assuming we do not have to go through administrative processing.)

Thank you all!

Is it possible to work for my European employer while visiting the US on ESTA (so not staying longer than 90 days)?

Hello all,

Yesterday I have had my AOS interview from a K1 visa and it was all good and approved. It will take some time to receive my welcome notice and the green card in the mail.

When will I be considered a LPR and/or have the rights of a LPR? Is it ever since the interview yesterday? Or will that be when I receive my green card?

Thank you

Dear people of VisaJourney,

My wife and I are at the NVC stage of our IR1 visa application. I recently discovered visawhen.com, and I've been keeping an eye on NVC processing time with it. Does anyone here have any anectodal experience with using it to predict when you will be DQ'ed? Just wondering how accurate it's proven to be!

Cheers,
