As long as your status shows issued, hang tight. You will eventually receive your passports with the Visa in it. It took almost a month for us to receive ours after the interview.

Good day everyone,

We are having a difficult time getting a drivers license for my now husband. Before his i94 expired we went to apply for a license and we had no problem but unfortunately he didnt pass the test. We went back to retake the test and we were told they couldn't allow him take the test because his 194 had expired and we needed to bring a 797 form to get his 194 extended. We headed back to dmv after we received the notice 797 advising his application is pending but was told that is not sufficient. They are asking for an approval notice. Obviously it is going to take a while for his green card to be approved. Does anyone know what we can do? We live in Nebraska. Thank you.

Thank you.

Good morning everyone,

When adjusting from K1 Visa, do we also need to complete the biographical form G-325A along with the I485? Also can we omit the form 131 since fiance do not intend to travel anytime soon? Form is asking for intended date of departure and we do not have that. Thank you.

Check multiple times in a day, everyday. It took us almost a month to finally find a date. Once they open up appointments, they are quickly taken so make sure you are constantly checking.

Proof of on going relationship(chats, call logs), affidavit of support, pictures, medicals, police report, itineraries(if you have gone to see your partner after submitting the petition) and passport stamps.

Usually if your SSN is 'approved'  it should take 1 to 2 weeks. When I applied, USCIS was going through a system change, what caused that the SSO couldn't verify my immigration status. It took about 3 weeks for them to verify with USCIS. So I would say 3 weeks tops (also wait 2 weeks once your fiance is in the country before applying)

Thank you.

Thanks everyone

Two weeks at the latest. My wife's SSN card arrived in about one week.

Thank you. Is your wife also a K1 beneficiary?

Hello everyone,

How long does it take to receive the ssn after you have applied. This will be for a k1 beneficiary. Thanks.

You guys are amazing. I dont know what I would have done without Visa journey. Thank you all so much.

Thank you all so much. How do I get a copy of the 194 form?

Hello everyone, 

I just need clarification on the process of applying for an ssn number. Do we have to wait to get married before applying or my fiance can apply right away. He just entered the US 2 days ago. Also can we apply online or go to the ssn office to do so. Thank you.

Thank you so much. Someone mentioned earlier that I do not need to complete the form l130. Please clarify.

Thank you very much

Thank you everyone. I appreciate your help. I also do need to complete ths affidavit of support right?

Thank you and we dont do the medicals again since he had one done during the k1 process right?

Hello everyone,

My fiance just arrived in the US and I'm trying to gather information about adjusting his status. 

I understand we have to complete from 1485, 130 and form for employment authorization. Each of these forms comes with a fee. I was under the impression that when you file adjustment of status there is no additional cost for the employment authorization. Is this correct? Please help.

The problem is they won't let you in the building  without an appointment and don't respond to emails. If Visa has been issued then what is the hold up? This is beginning to look like a nightmare. Is there anyone here who personally knows someone that works at the embassy who can give us an insight as to why it is taking this long to receive passports back after the ceac status shows issued? Or is the status incorrect? I'm also confused.

No he hasn't gone there yet. I figured since we haven't received a message from them it means they don't have it. He doesn't live in Accra so I don't want him to make the trip in vain.

Thank you Krista for responding. It seems the embassy is taking about 3 weeks or more to make the passports ready. Sigh. I will be glad when this process is finally over.

Thank you.

Good day everyone,

To my Ghanaian members, is there anyone here who went to their interview on 11/16/18 still waiting on their visas? Please let us know. Thank you.

Thank you for the information.

Hello everyone,

Does the US embassy in Ghana offer courier services for people who do not reside in Accra or the applicants have to come back to Accra to pick up the passport no matter which part of Ghana they live? Can the passport and packet be mailed to the applicant?Thank you.
