U did not specify that you were speaking of the USCIS website vs the ELIS website. U simply said from the introduction of the GC fee. Furthermore, I can't speak for anyone else, but no one cares who starts a thread, everyone is here for information and to share experiences...i simply did that.

SSN card received in the mail yesterday 11/28/15...POE on 11/19/15. SSN card dated 11/23/15. Considering the holiday i would say card received 1 week after POE.

i checked yes on DS260 for the question that asked if you would like a SSN to be issued.

Thank You Oluwaese!!! I was waiting for your post to see how the interview went....I'm sorry for the delay with yours but clearly you the visa is approved and just pending the additional docs. Hope they issue the visa soon for you.!

OK all...hubby got home and we had a chance to talk about the Interview. Hubby and daughter arrived at the consulate around 9:20 for his 9:30 Interview. He went inside and got his number. A female CO was nice enough to see him with a sleeping5 year old, ask him what number he had and clearly helped to move him up in queue. He went to the first window where he spent about 5 minutes handing over original birth cert for his daughter, police certificate and passports. He was told to sit down and listen for his name. He was called not too long after than to a different window where he was shown a pic of me (the passport sized pot that was sent in the with G-325A) and asked if that was his wife. He said YES and the interview began...She said "tell me about your wife"
1. When and how did you meet your wife?
2. How old were you?
3. How old is your wife's daughter and what is her name?
4. How old is your daughter? (the CO found it cute that both our girls are 5)
5. Has your wife ever been married? (she insisted yes even though the answer is no, but when he held firm on the no she reviewed the paperwork and apologized to him)
6. Have you ever travelled outside the country? she asked about trips he took to England as well as his many trips to the US and asked if he had ever overstayed on any of the trips.
7. Did you get married on your last trip to the US?
8. What happened to the relationship between you and your daughters mother?
He says the interview was more of a conversation rather than a Q&A session. He says both COs were pleasant and nice. She told him he would received his passport in 2 weeks.. She did not ask for any of the evidence he brought in. He spent less than 2 hours in the embassy.

It depends on if fully immunized in Jamaica live up to the American standards. My husband had to get 3 shots even though in our world he is fully immunized. Just be prepared just in case you have to get any.

Hubby approved today!!!! yaaayyyy!!!!

P4 letter received this evening!!!! This definitely makes it real!!!

Jamaica is on the Map.....Interview scheduled for 11/05!!!! yayyyy!!!!

Just got off the Phone with NVC rep...today is day 31/30. She flagged case for supervisor review and advised it could take up to 42 days (that is so dumb). Guess there's nothing I can do but keep calling and pestering them until CC.

Oluwaese...Congrats on getting your case number. They will notify you by email when the invoice is posted but you can check ceac website whenever you want to see when it is available...You can definitely send the documents together and I see where most people are recommending that since they are taking 60 days to review documents. Just put them in a separate folder or if you use a pocket folder put the AOS on one side and IV on the other side.

NVC finally received my cases today....Per Gus Allow 42 days for case # assignment.

Yaayyyy!!!! Received text message and email today that our case was approved on 02/12/2015. So freakin excited!!!!

I use my hourly x 40, then x 52 weeks. So if u make $8 per hour with a 40 hour work week, it would be (8*40)*52

Oluwaese....have you checked yet to see if NVC has received your case??

Yaayyyy!!!! Received text message and email today that our case was approved on 02/12/2015. So freakin excited!!!!

Wow!!!! Congrats!!!! I'm hoping to hear from them soon too since we have the same timeline.

USCIS converts your paper check into EFT so it usually clears within 24 hours.

Hey guys,
I'm not new to the immigration process because I petitiioned for my mom last year. I am starting the process again for my husband and step daughter. I'm looking forward to a supportive group of January filers. My signature below will have all the progress on my cases.

Filed I130 yesterday and UPS delivered this morning...looking forward to a quick and painfree approval.

Been thru the immigration process last year with my mom and it was pretty successful and fairly quick considering the backlogs at USCIS. I am getting ready to start the process all over again for my husband and step daughter and need some insight and since i already know VJ is the place to go I am here once more...
I am getting ready to file I130 for my husband and stepdaughter. We got married on Christmas eve with a few family and friends. He had just renewed his B1/B2 visa in november and visited in December when we got married. He did not stay in the USA, he has returned to our home country of Jamaica. My question is...will this raise a red flag even though he did not stay in the US? I also have put together some evidence to submit with the I130:
copy of my flight info when i went to Jamaica in September
Joint bank account statement (just one month, since he was added to account after we got married)
Life insurance policy listing him as beneficiary
Phone records showing a ridiculous about of airtime (LOL)
a few pictures from wedding and random days including pics we took in 2005
will this be enough??
