US Immigration from United Kingdom

Hi all,

Facing a rather frustrating issue with my SSN, here's a timeline:

• Arrived in Jan
• Applied for SSN early Feb
• Married mid Feb
• By March first SSN never arrived, arranged replacement that arrived by the end of March.
• Tried to get added to husbands bank account but lady at bank said it came back "unverified". Told me to speak to SSA to get them to "activate" my SSN. Called SSA same day and explained situation, was told that SSNs aren't activated, they are valid upon being generated and issued. Left it there for a while.
• Tried to update name on SSN but had a problem with lack of docs. Returned once I had my EAD card and it was updated.
• Received updated SSN early June.

I'm already an authorized user on my husband's credit card (did this before updating my name so only provided my contact info) but we're trying to upgrade my access on the account. I put in my SSN, but it keeps saying it can't be verified. We also want to try the bank again, but it's a 1.5 hour round trip to the bank and we feel we might face the same issue.

Anyone else experienced this? Is there something I need to do with my SSN? Im going to start looking for work soon so I have to be able to either open an account of my own or be added to my husbands.

Any help or advice is appreciated!

Our case is currently at the NVC stage. My mom is sponsoring my husband. She is single and retired. She earns about $32,000 a year and a heafty savings account that has grown since it was opened. I'm currently a student and will finish in about 5 months so no income on my side. She also put the value of her house down. So we submitted all my tax info and my I864 and she completed hers and we sent 3 years of tax transcripts and her retirement and pension statements that she get at tax time. I also submitted her savings account over the years that shows it has been there for a good while and growth. My husband has inherited 50% of his parents house that is currently for sale so should get about $100g's for his share. He plans on taking evidence when he get his interview.

So message from NVC says they have accepted and approved our case. They are submitting docs to his local embassy for setting up his interview. It does say Documentarily Qualified. Then there is a message note that says;

The income reported as stated on form I-864, I-864A is insufficient to overcome the public charge grounds of inadmissibility for visa issuance. To avoid delays, an additional Affidavit of Support Form I-864 from a joint sponsor may be submitted. For more information visit https://nvc.state.gov/aos and https://www.uscis.gov/i-864p. A consular officer will decide if you meet these requirements at the time of the interview. Note: You, as the sponsor, and any other sponsors household members and joint sponsors, must provide updated or additional evidence for the applicant to present at the time of their interview such as: * Other income * Assets * Proof of current employment Note: You submitted documentation to the National Visa Center through the Consular Electronic Application Center CEAC. You can continue to upload documents to CEAC up until the date of your visa interview

How should I interpret this? I do have someone willing to sponsor but my mum is $7000 over. I know that isn't much but it's still over. Could it be it's referring to my i864 or both mine and my mums? Would it be best to wait till the interview and then give the documents for joint sponsor if needed? If so, can my husband just print it all out to give to them? I'm in the states and he is in the UK. Any insight or advice, I would be so thankful. We are so happy to be at this stage, I just want to make sure I understand everything. I was hoping my mom's income and savings with our house sale money would have been enough but still thankful to be at this stage.

Hello everyone

For anyone who has had their case transfered from USCIS to NVC in recent months: did it take very long for that to happen? My Fiancee and I just had our application approved about 10 days ago and I am aware that even this part of the process can take months. So more for my curiosity than anything, how long did it take anyone reading this to have their application transfered from USCIS to NVC after approval?

Thanks in advance

My name is Ersen BTW, nice to meet you, lol.

Hi All,

I'm preparing to file my ROC next week. I plan to send on 2nd July as the earliest I can file is 3rd July.

My Conditional GC was processed via consular processing and although I created a USCIS account, I don't have anything linked to it. I have moved since arriving in the US and I filed address change online, and so did my husband. We never received acknowledgement of the address change.

My USCIS account has no account number and I believe understand that if we list my husband's account, or no account number then USCIS will create one? My concern is that the extension letter goes to the wrong address, and without the account number I won't be able to see documents uploaded online until I get the extension letter and account access details. I travel regularly for work so it's important I can see the updates as early as possible.

We'll fill the G-1145 also for text notification so I can get the case number, but am I correct in understanding I won't be able to add that to my account if USCIS assigns a new account?

How do others navigate this? Simply wait and hope?

Thanks

I m sure this has been asked 100 s times before so apologies. But I know someone will have a helpful answer on here for me.

My processing time just jumped from 3 months to 17 months. Right when based on trends and others timelines my NOA2 should be right around the corner arguable in the post!

Is this something people have seen before when USCIS start doing something on your case? Is it completely random? Or am I screwed and In for another 17 months?

thanks in advance
