US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hello all, the thing that freaks me out most about this whole inmigration thing is fliying my cats.

Adding covid and flight cancelations and what not is stressing me enourmously.

Has anyone moved pets recently and can give me some info on how they did it, the experience, etc?

Thanks!

Wow, I haven't had to get on here in a while which is good but hi everyone! Long time, no talk! :)

It's almost that time to remove my husband's conditions on his greencard. His expires in May some I'm starting early now so I can send it in in February well within the 90 day time frame. I just wanted to post and give you guy's an idea of what I had so far and you can throw ideas at me of what I need to add. I've gotten rusty at the immigration stuff. I feel like I have a pretty good petition put together so far but any advice as always from this wonderful group of people is always welcome!

-Petition (obviously).

-All Receipt and Notices from USCIS regarding any immigration in the past for my husband.

-His birth certificate.

-Our marriage certificate and license.

-A copy of every page in his passport.

-Our driver's licenses.

-Copies of his greencard and work permit card.

-A copy of my photo passport page.

-Copies of him listed as my beneficiary on life insurance policies through work.

-Our medical insurance cards.

-I was going to include our bank statements from November-January since it's recent.

-Our checks stubs from our jobs (last four weeks worth when I send it in).

-A few bills from November-January that have both of our names on it such as water bill and card insurance.

-His truck loan information that has both of our names on it.

-Car insurance that has both of our names on it.

-Airline tickets from when we went to England to visit his family this past Christmas and our AIRBNB receipts from when we went on our anniversary trip to the beach.

-Our property tax information with both of our names on it as well as the deed to our home (since I'm the only one on the loan).

-Taxes filed for the last two years.

-Pictures with descriptions of family stuff since we got his greencard.

-Copies of the documents where we adopted out dog this past July with both of our names on it.

-Brittani

Hi everyone,

I recently had my IR1 visa approved.

Before moving, I would like to prepare everything that I need to open a bank account.

Apologies if I've missed this, but I couldn't see a guide anywhere. I wonder if anyone has any useful advice or links?

I appreciate that I will arrive with nothing but a visa, a social security number (after a few weeks), and no utility bills or proof of address.

Any advice on the best way of getting a bank account with this limited set of documents would be wonderful.

Many thanks!

I paid the fees for my green card on the 29th, entered the US on the 1st.

I received my SS card two days ago (which was very fast, surprisingly) and I am attempting to join the military, this isn't possible with the temporary i-1551 stamp in my passport. It says they've received the fee for my green card they just need to produce it? I would imagine it'd be on its way already, right?

Hi everyone,

So after reading up on here I can see a lot of people seem to be having some issues getting their SSN. I received my employment authorization/ advanced parole on Monday so I called the SSA office today and they took my name and birthdate and said they didn't have anything pending to get my SSN, but that that doesn't necessarily mean it's not being processed, it just means it's not being processed by their office yet?

It's obviously a bit concerning, because I did apply for my SSN with my immigration paperwork, but I've also seen someone report they also did that and didn't received anything. I have a potential job lined up and it's frustrating after waiting 7 months for my employment authorization to have yet another delay. Immigration right?! Does anyone know what I should do next? I'm mainly worried about there being nothing pending, in which case I want to be able to apply asap but not sure how when they aren''t doing appointment.

She also asked if they had given me a number to call which I thought was strange because what other place could I contact besides the actual SSA office? I know if I call USCIS they'll tell me to just call SSA

Thanks everyone!
