US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

Creating this forum for the I-751 February 2025 Filers.

From what I can gather, you simply cannot get a state ID until you physically have your SS Card to present at the DMV? (Will get a D/L at a later date).

Also, we will sign up for ACA as soon as we arrive, me as new Immigrant and spouse as a returning U.S. Citizen that has lived overseas with me for several years, (so moving from a foreign country to the U.S.) Spouse will do this via a phone call to a Navigator, (as has SSN), but I will not have my SS Card through for several weeks. How is this handled by the ACA Navigators, do you have to upload a copy of the SS Card once you have it? As we leave prior to the 15th of the month, I understand that coverage will start at the beginning of the first of the following month. If I don't have my SS Card by then, will coverage start on the 1st?

Thank you.

Processing times:

If you are not from Africa/ middle east or target countries under 6 months

female applying from wester countries born in targeted countries 6-12 months

males applying from wester countries born in targeted countries 8-14 months

Males/females applying from target countries 8 months to 2 years

external sources of department of state says 90% of checks are done within 30 to max 60 days, so why it takes longer ?

I have the DX Courier-In Authorization Certificate, what happens now?

How do i get DX to come to my mums house to collect the documents that the embassy is needing? Or will she have to travel to Chancery lane DX to drop off the document?

Parents received a GREEN 221g. Officer asked for my W2 (but did not specify what year) for my dads case - which was already uploaded at the NVC stage - but I uploaded again today when mum told me. Weird that its also requested for dad's case and not mums too.

The only box that is checked on the 221g is for me to DX courier my british birth certificate.

They did not keep their passports.

If I courier my BC via DX, do I need for them to acknowledge and expect and ask for their passports to be couriered?

Just thinking of what might happen if or when its suffice for them that they received what they asked for....

Would there be harm in sending the passports together with the BC?

I got the Courier-In Authorization Certificate generated from https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-gb/iv/users/sign_in

But not sure what to do with it?

Says "This certificate authorizes tadeo, nenita to use the designated CSRA courier to deliver supporting visa application documents to the United States London Consulate free of charge"

I also emailed DX for a quote on pickup and delivery and return service - is this the correct procedure on using the DX certifcate and for DX to pickup from mums house?

Even though I uploaded my W2, I will send to mum with my british BC to then DX courier to the consulate - or should I not do this?
