We got married 7/18 and I had to use our AOS money on my sons medical expenses and am in a panic. No way will I have $$ within a few days to file

Thank you!!!! I'm really curious as to how long we have to file the AOS after marriage?

I guess I meant, how long do we have to file the AOS after being in the U.S.?

trying to get my AOS stuff together. Ive heard such so many things regarding timelines. Any ideas?

Ooohhhh wonder who it was

just confirm then this is the correct list? as no one seems to have said yes or no ? i only ask as I'm awaiting my interview appointment after having my medial last week.

This should be sufficient. As I told my fiancé...better to be safe and take more...then be sorry and forget something. They asked for minimal things at Scott's interview, support paperwork, police cert, Birth cert, and passport.

And oops...husband now lol.

True. An above average sense of humor is mandatory to get through this process. But more than that, I keep remembering how awful it was waiting across an ocean every night for my 10 pm to 2 am daily phone calls which became what I lived for. Now I get hugs and kisses every day. We can get through anything now

So very true

That doesn't surprise me. If you have time later, go ready review about registering daughter for school on the Post Embassy Srama thread. It eventually became funny, after a week of fraitrationnthat became comic relief, lol

I will have to!! Atleast we still have a sense of humor after everything works out right?

Did you expect a CBP officer to have any?

Lol true

Yes, but they probably need to contact someone at Immigratipn at Dublin airport and it would have been 8 pm there. Are they going to check for you tomorrow?

They said to come back tomorrow and then try again. It's so frustrating. Sadly she didn't have much personality.

That is ridiculous considering he could be stood right there in front of them. He's clearly in the USA! They must be able to do something, because it's too important for them to just say 'ah well' and shrug their shoulders?!

I know, the borders officer took Scott's passport, saw the date stamp, visa, etc. showed her the marriage cert, etc. still couldn't help us. She couldn't say why, other then "it's too late in the day." What?!?!! It was 3:00

They don't know why he isn't in the system and can't fix it now. Ughhhhh

Did you contact your closest Deferred Inspection location? A non-airport location is better. Make an appointment if it isn't too far. List http://www.cbp.gov/sites/default/files/documents/deferred_inspection_sites_072115_1.xls

Also, are you getting anything like his name or simply nothing when you put in his passport number? Wondering if you used letter O for Zero or One for letter i Any mistakes like that?

Does anything look unusual on the biographic part of the passport?

UKJONES>>>TOM>Paul>>>>>>

Sometimes names are run together like TOMPAUL instead of TOM>>PAUL>>>

I finally called and my local non airport deffered border patrol is seeing us now. Hoping its nothing major

Unfortunately this would not be an embassy problem.. this is a CBP problem for sure. Though I'm not sure how to solve this one. :/ CBP is going to have to assist somehow, as it would be impossible for him to return and fix it himself. Nich-Nick might have some insight.

We married this past Saturday, but you are right. For whatever reason, we've had the worst luck With this process. I feel like everyone keeps passing blame and no one will help.

How about contacting the UK Embassy in the USA?

We did, they can't help us. They told us to contact us border patrol. You have to leave a message there. No one has called back. I thought you only needed a passport/visa to get a SSN card

Seems crazy that he was effectively pre-screened and cleared for entry (to fly) to the USA by CBP/ DHS in Ireland, yet they didn't record it? Must be so frustrating to try and find out who is accountable and to get them to correct it.

It is!!! We are panicked and don't know where to turn. I've made dozens of calls, no one will help, we've emailed several places with no response as of yet.

You need to go down to the CBP inspections site at his POE and request they fix it.

We can't. His POE was Dublin, Ireland

We can't. His POE was Dublin, Ireland

Arrived in Dulles, but POE was Dublin, Ireland which is a Poe For the U.S. now

We are checking it now and it still says he's not in the U.S. He's fresking out. Ugh...I've called so many people and no one can help us

I've called NVC, the embassy and U.S. customs and border control. No one will help us.

Take the application instructions with you to show that a k-1 visa holder is eligible for an SSN.

As for the i-94, that's weird that he's not in the system yet. Did you try downloading it again today? It will say the day he landed, when it expires, and what type of visa he came in on.

What information did they say you were missing? When did he land? Have you provided enough time for him to be stored in the SAVE system?

He landed July 12th and today is the 22nd. They said we need the i94 and also asked for work permits, ect. We kept saying that all we needed was a passport/visa with date stamps and the form for SSN.

Did you download the right one?

I believe so. They turned us away at the SSN office as well

So we had the issue this morning at the SSN office saying we need a bunch of forms. We come home and Scott's i194 doesn't reflect him being in the country. Ugh?!!!! Help!!

Just checking in finally...married Scott on the 18th. It's amazing to finally be reunited.

Scott came!!! Interestingly though, he had his POE in Dublin. Fast and easy and once he arrived in Dulles he just came through. Simple as that. I'll update my timeline once I'm more awake!!!

Thank you everyone for everything!!!

Congrats!! Us too!!!! My fiancé is coming tomorrow woohooooo!!

Yay! Congrats. Scott is coming Sunday.
