I did some research online and came to a conclusion that you can still work even if your GC is expired. Although your physical Green Card may expire, your lawful status as a U.S. permanent resident does not. Also, i read some where that once you have a green card you hold legal status in the U.S. until you abandon or lose it. Since, we already filed for I-751 and it has not been declined, we didn't loose legal status so we can still work in U.S. 

Your NoA 1 has 18 months extension you can work on US legally

Does anybody on here who received their I 797 18 mos extension plan on traveling soon or have traveled already.  If so, is the I 797 plus expured greencard sufficient to travel out of the country. Thanksin advance. 

You need to apply for I131  travel documents if you are going out of country.

Same for me as well...I was paranoid thinking I made a mistake too but I guess that’s how they doing it now.

Same  here Sent 17  they got it @ 21  NoA sent out was 28  Receved  yesterday and Benficary. Name is petitioner name. 

Reason we saying DC is because it will be way faster then going through USCIS . USCIS process is slow now. 

You maybe able to file direct Councler for i130 check DC requirement 

It’s good to be back to this forum!

I am at my nvc stage my wife sent AOS and tax payment document to NVC March nvc later sent us mail to send some missing document till date we have not gotten an appointment letter the last time my wife called nvc they told her to tell me to gather my civil document how long more do we have to wait to get appointment letter our process will get to 14months this July

That’s long process. 4 weeks from you send documents check if your NVC status turned to N/A  call them  everyday. What embassy is interview sometimes they may not have dates available. 

Yes that’s a normal problems just relax. Don’t stress it.

I don’t think you need to transfer any money
Do conform with lawyer or immigration expert but. You just show them your money as it is on your currency Roughly estimated USD value.

Me so far I have delt with USCIS 5/ NVC plus times in last 10 years. 

First t for our N400 for family of 5 I filled it out all and did on my own. 

Then an my own wife’s CR-1 / K3  ( i130 and i129F ) 

Then few other friends and local town peoples veriois stuff few N400 Few i130 1 i751 

and Now my own wife’s i751 

so far no RFE on any of them. 

( no I don’t work for immigration lawyer or fern or anything related to immigration. I just helped them as they requested. )

For immigrant visas that enter and tick the box on the ds-260 it is supposed to be applied for by DHS and should just arrive in the mail. Sometimes they miss this.

Yes I checked box but I was being told to go to SS office  and verify with them when she came at PoE

Thanks for your responses folks !!  I get that if the SS# does not arrive , the final resort is to go to the SS office and apply in person. The Social Security department has a document process for immigrant visa holders that says that one needs to wait for 3 weeks at least. I am just going to wait ti out for one more week and see. In mu case I have an SSN and am working but wife needs one ( was indicated in the DS260) . 

 

https://www.ssa.gov/ssnvisa/whatyou_need.htm

 

Also wonder why the USCIS does not print out the green cards in the airports and give them to the people. Why the "handover" between DHS and USCIS again and the wait time there after. I tried calling the USCIS and they just rote whats written " Wait for 120 days , we have everything that we need from the payment perspective". So frustrating. 

 

Also has anyone tried to create an account at https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/ ? You can identify yourself and see the status of the mailing address. All payment receipts and case statuses also can be seen . It also shows the last updated date .

 

Thanks,

AG  

 

 

SS# won't come till you go there at office you don't have to wait 3 weeks. 

We went next day after my wife came and they took care of it. All you need to take there is Passport  and other document. 

Havent sign up for USCIS account but I just waited 2 months and her GC was here. 

For securaty reason they probably won't print anything there ? 

You have to go to SS Office and apply for card. 

I had to do same for my wife it took them week and I had her SSN mailed home in 7 days 

for green card it took about 62 days to show up. 

No need to worry just take both passport at Intervew and inform embassy

I got same error on my wife's GC

We have to just wait and see.

Aprox time frame is 2 months

3 N/A means Case complete congrats to you

Now call back in day or 2 for Intervew date

Once your first few turns Paid other should unlock next day and once you pay it in day or 2 DS260 would be unlocked.

It took them 5 weeks for my wife's CC then again it was in Jun

NVC stage are fast and simple

Pay first fee file DS261. Call Nexr day NVC and keep on calling until someone confirm over phone and chose agent

Once that done wait few days 24 hr usually other fee will be unlocked pay that wait for Day or 2 more and DS260 will be unlocked

After approval of Intervew within week you should have passport with visa stamp. My wife had her passport next day. But then again it was in India.

But you can fly to US same day you get passport on hand

I know once my fiancé schedules his interview in Kiev, he needs to print the confirmation page and take it with him to the interview. However, My fiancé doesn't have a printer. Could I schedule the interview and print the appointment confirmation letter myself, then just scan it to him so he can go somewhere with a printer to print it out?

Yep that works as well.

As long as he has copy printed on paper he should be fine

Hardship wavers has less chances of getting through USCIS unless you have good case and such real hardship that you can prove

Google for best lawyers ask them if they ever did file such thing and what are success rates for their case they worked on.

Most lawyers do immigration but hardly any wavers 601 or 601A stuff. You need reputable lawyer I am also helping someone with same waver at point it's hard to chose good lawyer
