    Her EAD is valid until the case is denied.  She can continue to work until then.
     
    Her SSN is hers for life.  You don't have to do anything about it.

    J Laredo reacted to TBoneTX in K1 visa petition returned to USCIS by consulate   
    A lawyer won't be of much help beyond your own efforts.  Write the consulate (with your fiance's A# in the Subject line) and ask for precisely what they want, "to make things efficient for you" (say that).
     
    If the consulate balks or drags its feet, try one more time, then involve the Immigration Liaison in your Congressman's office.  You'll fill out a permission form, and then that office can act.  But try the above first.

    J Laredo reacted to Crazy Cat in N-400 case denied -- can you help me?   
    You're right.  I remember seeing the issue a few times.  That is the reason I would always recommend filing a few days after the window opens.

    J Laredo reacted to arken in N-400 case denied -- can you help me?   
    It's the software glitch that several people had been suffering from when filed online up to a given hours on the very first day. Wherever the uscis cloud is based on, their timezone might me different. I guess not a lot of people (thousands and thousands) file it on that time period to trigger such sort of awareness to uscis.
     
    It just became a $700 more expensive for you whether you appeal and win or apply for a new one.

    J Laredo reacted to Amadia in Visa says IR-1 visa expires after five months?   
    As others mentioned, this visa expiration date is solely the expiration date for when he does his POE...they gave him the amount of time that would have been left for the validity of the medical as well. For example, I got my visa approved in June 2016 and had until November 2016 to enter the US. My medical was valid for 6 months and it would have expired in November. Don't stress because your spouse would not have to endure ROC or any of the nonsense that others like me have gone through. 
    Best of luck on your new life in the US together

    He had 5 months (up to the expiration date) to enter the US.

    Once activated at entry, he can work and travel on the visa for up to a year but he should receive a green card in the next few weeks.
     
    Make sure you pay the green card fee for him or they won’t mail it.

    The visa is a single (entry) use visa and in only good for 6 months after the medical.   Once he enters the US and it is stamped, he becomes a permanent resident.  The visa with the stamp become his green card and is good for a year.  We even traveled back to Mexico 5 days after entering and had no problems returning.

    J Laredo reacted to Dashinka in Visa says IR-1 visa expires after five months?   
    As others have said, the visa expiration date is now irrelevant since he has entered the country.  Simply look at the IV Category on the actual visa and it should show “IR1” meaning he should get a 10 year GC based on your years of marriage and you should have no reason to complete the I751/ROC.  Additionally, the endorsed visa now functions as a temporary GC for up to a year or until the physical card arrives, again, the visa expiration date is irrelevant as to that function.
     
    Good Luck!

    visa usually expires 6 months from the date of medical exam so i would say her medical was a month old by time of the visa issue

    The visa is used on the first time he enters the country only. The green card will come in the mail and should be a 10-year green card. Wait for the actual green card to come.

    Hi 
    My husband had his interview last week at the Nicaraguan embassy and they did not ask anything about health insurance. 
    I have health insurance through my employer so I just provided the policy which states I can add my spouse as long as I can prove he was in a foreign country the last 6 months, which of course was applicable in both my case and your case. 
    do you have health insurance through your employer?

    J Laredo got a reaction from geowrian in short term health insurance for spouse   
    OK I just tried to sign him up and this doesn’t work.  I even called and they confirmed. The problem is you have to have been in the US for the last 12 months to get this insurance.  so it excludes immigrants that are just arriving. I’m gonna have to find something else in the next three days.

    Here like NZ. It’s uncommon for employer to provide health insurance.. usually it’s just military type people.. we have to purchase our own insurance, so it dosent matter if I leave my employer, I just modify my policy to show which country I’m in..

    Yes, my work will cover him starting the first of the month after he enters. I saw another post like yours about travel insurance. I use travel insurance a lot since I no longer work in Mexico so don’t have government healthcare but travel a lot to see him these past 3  years. 
    I read somewhere on this forum that using travel insurance is not good if you are a permanent resident of the US. Meaning our new permanent residency people are not eligible and travel insurance won’t pay if they know you are not just “visiting.” I was tempted to try this anyway, but ***removed*** that advertises here appears to have good policies. I just talked to them and they told me “make sure you put in his home address as Mexico” so I guess it’s the same issue. You can’t sign them up and say they are residents of the US. ***removed*** has pretty low deductible, and pays at 100% after that, so I think I’ll go ahead with that. Specifically the Patriot Plan. They don’t bandage you up and send you back to your home country, I don’t think. 
    I, too, am just concerned about the catastrophic.

    Is it that you can't add him to your workplace plan until January 1?
     
    Here is what we did:  my husband (then fiancé)  had a still-valid travel insurance policy when he flew here on the K-1 visa.  We got married 4 days later, and we were able to add him to my workplace plan 9 days after that.
     
    It wasn't ideal, but we felt it was the best option to cover him for catastrophic for the two weeks before his coverage kicked in.
     
    Btw, my husband's travel plan was one that he purchased in NZ.  I would look for Mexican plans for your husband.

    I never said “not to get because not required”.. and peace of mind means; as a means of protection, both medically and financially.. 
     
    unfortunaly not everyone is in the same situation such as yourself.. it’s easier for K1 than IR myself as an example will have to wait until May 2020 to be added to my husbands policy, and even then my coverage will not start for 30 days post being added...
     
    IR visa don’t have the luxury of being added to policy within 3 months of getting married or we end up paying for coverage that we can’t use while, or insurers refuse or charge extra while I130 is processing and then some insurers don’t acknowledge moving to the USA as a life changing event..
     
    plus immigration visa is just that, tourist insurance will not cover it, where as k1 is non immigration and is possibly acceptable for a few weeks

    J Laredo reacted to bakphx1 in What is faster a fiance visa or a spouse visa?   
    Being together a bit sooner sounds wonderful but comes with serious restrictions that should not be taken lightly.
     
    1) The beneficiary can’t work or do anything requiring a SS# for up to six months.  Having a full grown adult to support for half a year is often a financial strain for many couples.  The person who must be at home doing nothing with no family or friends nearby can grow depressed quickly.  This in itself had led to breakups before AOS is done.  
     
    2)  If a family emergency comes up soon upon arrival on a K1 visa, the immigrating spouse can be forced into deciding not going and seeing a loved one for the last time or losing the visa and starting a new one.  There is Advance Parole to travel sooner but USCIS never acts immediately on anything for any reason.  If they find they need to go in a day or two, there’s no exception-just a very hard choice to make.

    J Laredo reacted to D&Q in problems with the DS-260 option about SSN   
    Hi everyone!
    Just wanted to share an experience my husband and I had with the whole Social Security card. When I (petitioner) was filling out the DS-260 for my husband I checked the option that stated if I wanted them share his information with the social security office so he can receive his social security card in the mail after he has entered the US. Well, since I had checked that option we were waiting for his number in the mail, he received his green card but no social security card. We decided to go to the social security office and find out well, it turns out that his information was not in their system. So, we had to reapply for a number.
    I just wanted to share this with everyone so if you checked that option on the DS-260 or the DS-230 and have not yet received your social security card and it has been a while don't wait more just go to your local social security office and find out maybe your information is not in their system just how my husbands information was not.
    Has anyone else had this type of experience?
