US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi

I am looking for a little advice with regards to preparing for immigration to another country. I have a few questions only so far. I understand the simplest answer would likely be to speak to an immigration lawyer in my home country, but, if you don t ask, you don t get. And I think the best advice comes from those who have been through it. I am leaving the UK just so it s clear.

1. Financial responsibilities? - Is it possible to maintain a banking presence in my home country in order to continue to pay off debt, maintain an in service mobile phone contract, pay NI etc

2. Who to inform? Do I have to let various government agencies know that I am moving abroad? For example, HMRC would be a given I expect but is there any particular entities that I need to do so for this?

3. Any other tips or suggestions as to preparing to exit you home country with as little stress as possible.

Thanks in advance for any responses.

I see several threads that give a numerical position where your case is in line. What is the link to this site where you can see this please ?

Priority date May 10th

Got an RFE that we responded to in Aug 8th

August 13 they said we got your response and case ready to be scheduled for an interview since than has been over 3 weeks and no interview date has any one else been stuck on this stage of ready to be scheduled for an interview but no interview date given.

Hi All

I wanted to ask two questions if any one can help

1. I am 99% i know the answer but just for clarification, as i am the beneficiary living abroad (UK citizen) and my husband applied for my i-130, he doesn't need to upload my passport or birth certificate or 2 pictures does he? I understood that the 2 pictures were only if i was living in the US and the beneficiary doesn't have to supply BC or Passport at this stage? i do have both

2. We are 100 days into our application so many months to go yet, we have never lived together and don't share any bank accounts or anything like that but over the past months we have uploaded 2 lots of evidence. Our first online interactions, our first meet in Chicago, our second meet in London to meet my family and the wedding in Vegas, lots of copies of letters and fb messages from families and birthday and valentines day cards and gifts and copies of flight info

My husband is coming fro Xmas so we will do another upload of that trip too and then i go back to Iowa in March for another visit

My second question is, should we bother with uploading WhatsApp convos? it just seems so random to just upload 9-10 screenshots but we text and facetime everyday so might be helpful? My dad offered to write an Affidavit for me to upload, is it worth it? I already uploaded copies of letters to and from my parents and his parents to each other talking about us as a couple

Any advice would be amazing

thanks

I'm once again here asking if anyone has suggestions or advice regarding an SSN not behaving...

Long story short, I have had my SSN updated from maiden to married name and trying to do the usual things like get put on husband's bank account and as an joint user on a credit card. Had problems with both coming back saying invalid or unable to be verified. I left it alone until I got my learner's permit/state ID (AL) as I saw you could verify your SSN online with a DL or ID. But even with that now, the online verification comes back with "no records match the information".

I called SSA yesterday to ask if they knew anything, they said everything looks good on their side and said I could try going to a post office to verify in person. You need to start this process online, still, to generate a barcode, but I can't get the barcode because it says there's no record of me and my info. I went to the post office today to ask, but they said they need the barcode. So I'm stuck in a loop!

Has anyone experienced this? Know what could be causing it? Is it because my DL is a learners permit (that also says FN on it, which hubby says means foreign). I've also read somewhere that having no credit score/record can cause a problem. So would getting a cc in my own name solve this? Just feel like I'm going to encounter the same issue with them not being able to verify me. I'd also note that our residential address differs from our mailing address, but I've tried both addresses and a combination of them and still no joy.

Honestly no idea what to do at this point. We aren't able to comingle much of anything because of this, the most we have is a shared credit card (I have my own card, but it's not a joint account because of this).
