US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

I recently became naturalized, but had to travel to the UK for a few months. While here I'm applying for my first U.S. passport at the embassy so that I can travel back to America. I was told it should take between 2-4 weeks. However, After 10 days, i've been looking on the state.gov passport website to check on its status but it says 'application not found'. I tried phoning the hotline and they said if the application is done overseas at am embassy they can't give me an update. Has anyone else applied this way? How long does it typically take?

Hi all,

I am hoping you can help me with the types of visas I need to apply for.

I am a US citizen living in the UK with my husband and daughter. Both my husband and daughter are UK citizens but we are looking at moving to the US during the course of the next year or so and wondered if you could help advise what forms and/or visa routes would be required for this? Would it be one or two individual I 130 forms and one or two IR 3 visas? (It s worth noting that we have been married for just under 5 years).

Thank you in advance.

Hi all, first of all I hope this is in the right topic, I wasn't sure where to post this at. I finally received my advanced parole and employment authorisation card today after a long 7 months of waiting! From what I've read, it seems as though my social security card should arrive in about 2 weeks, is this correct? I'm 99% sure I filled in the paperwork for it when I applied for everything. Do I have to wait for my SSN to be able to apply for jobs, I know they need it for the I-9, but would I be able to provide it later and be hired in the meantime?

My last question in, since there is still a travel ban because of covid for countries from Europe to the US, will I be able to enter the US with my advanced parole if I was to travel aboard? I am hoping to visit my family in the UK in December, but I want to be sure I will be able to come back in with that document.

Thanks!

Sorry I can t find threads on this though I m sure there are many.

I m adjusting through marriage from E2. EAD in hand and just did my 2nd biometrics for AP today. Today was also our AOS interview. All went well, I handed over my i693 medical which was not in my original packet.

At the end of interview, we were given a notice saying our case will now be reviewed, if nothing else is needed from us we ll get a decision in the Mail.

Most anecdotal evidence I ve read suggests most get approved on the spot. What have others experiences been with this? I assume as my medical was only submitted today the officer needs time to review it which could be the reason?

Any thoughts on how normal it is to get this letter or if I should be worried?

Hello,

The start date on my renewed EAD/AP card does not seem right.

My first EAD/AP card:

Valid from - 02/11/20

Expires - 02/10/21

My renewed EAD/AP card:

Valid from - 10/23/20 Shouldn't this card become valid the day after my first card expires e.g. 02/11/21?

Expires - 10/22/21

Thanks!
