As others said this is just wrong. Neither are needed to add a spouse to insurance. Insurance companies have work around numbers they can use. When the spouse gets a SSN then it can be added and the work around number be removed. 

Ok great 👍 give your advice on documents he can use not your useless opinion on what I said

My husband was added to my health insurance without  issue.  They made him a dummy #. SS is not needed for insurance... SMH 

Woooow never knew an employer could make a fake social security number to give to the government 😳that’s interesting. However I didn’t do any of this. I added my spouse as my beneficiary and uscis accepted the documents but nice to know you can get fake social security numbers

Still incorrect.

My wife got covered before her SSN came in.

Nearly every child born in the US is covered before they get an SSN as well.

An SSN or ITIN is not required for coverage.

Thank for the information 🤯

Incorrect

ITN OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER....! Hope that clears things up 🙄😑

What are you talking about? Did I say this person shouldn’t add their spouse to their health insurance?.... If you don’t have a social security number it’s impossible 🙄. I simply suggested other ways to add them as a beneficiary. 

By the way that counts as a major life event so once their spouse enters the USA and obtains a social security number they can add them to their health insurance. Please don’t make comments to me unless you read properly. 😒they are looking for ways to show proof of marriage I made my suggestion no give yours and troll on 

You can’t add her.... Add her to your life Insurance policy for example your accidental list her as the beneficiary. They just want her to be covered by insurance within 30 days of her arrival. You could also add her to your car insurance as the beneficiary. No social security number is needed to add her for beneficiary. 

I would suggest you and your spouse both write letters of how you met and explain your relationship leading to and after marriage. If you have friends or family that know of your marriage have them write letters you should have 2 from them. 

-Photos together

-Text messages 

-Flight itineraries

-Marriage Certificate 

-I also had my name changed on my passport so that helps too but if not submit letter or copy of mail that has your new name or cards addressed to both of you 

-If you add your spouse as a beneficiary to your car insurance that’s proof. He or she doesn’t need a social security number for that. 

-Add your spouse as a beneficiary to your bank account get a letter from the bank and that’s it! Simple no extra info will be needed 

Hey guys just a quick update we’re approved. I’m excited 😆 and nervous that it’s really happening lol. This has been a long process halfway through little more to go. Yay!

Let her actions speak this time around. Let her stay with her parents and see how she likes having her mom telling her how to live eat breathe and be married. Her reality will make her appreciate you sooner or later but you have to stand up for yourself too. Stop tolerating all that they are doing. 

Well i was reading your title of you just venting to others. If you are ready to divorce thats a decision for you to make.  This stuff you complained of seems fixable you spoiled your wife iz all and some ppl love that. It seems to be in you. The main issue is her mom right? Seems your spoiled wife had a temper tantrum to you telling her no about the vacation. Some ppl learn different so maybe school and working at the same time wasn't a good idea. You can't help her and get upset about how she's behaving you were part of the problem. All through this i never once heard you say you don't love her or she doesn't love you. Spoiled and out of order yes but marraige is for better or worse.  You're a smart man you will make the decision that's best for you. Calm down and think clearly. Try. Marriage counseling maybe the vacay would be a good idea for the 2 of you to get away and talk things over without her mom on your back.

True. Though I never thought I was spoiling her. As I said, I am a cool guy who expects someone to use common sense in judgement. Why would I be chasing a grownup on what to do?

 

She just got a job this past Thursday, through a family friend (don't know if this is true or just a bait meant for me).  This is the same family friend I'd asked her a while back to intern under while in school. She refused. The mom, on Tuesday says she's the one who told her not to intern but concentrate in school. Really????? I am the one who did all her school work and pushed her through school. All she did was take class exam, which of course they tell you where it'll be set from. She, therefore, had all free time to intern.

If she had interned, she'd be starting at a higher level right now compared to other graduates (if she actually got the job).

Let her actions speak this time around. Let her stay with her parents and see how she likes having her mom telling her how to live eat breathe and be married. Her reality will make her appreciate you sooner or later but you have to stand up for yourself too. Stop tolerating all that they are doing.

Additionally,  I withheld a lot of taxes last year as "married, withold as single" just so as to make sure I don't owe. During this tax season, we found out we'll be getting around nearly five digits worth back. Behold. She said all goes to her. Knowing her and knowing it'll  be spent on nonessentials, I tried to strike a balance for 50/50 share.  She refused and again, carried tax documents to her mom's. Realizing this, I called and clearly told her that I am not authorizing anyone to do my taxes. She realized I was serious and never did it with her mom's. Anyways, we have not done our taxes. Though we don't owe, so we are good. I was gonna use my 50 to pay for CC debts.

I completely understand. You should use her half for the debt she created while in school. But seems you are smart financially. She sounds young and just really spoiled. She has a great guy with his head on his shoulders. I wouldn't worry about the mom. Although I'd sit her down to let her know. You married her not her mom. And you don't want that relationship to spoil with her mom. But its overbearing and you won't allow it anymore. Sit her down show her the tuition cost for her school and explain how important credit is. Tell her you guys can still get a nice car and house. But you have to be smart financially and save. Those trips aren't necessarily urgent. But maybe after everything is caught up you guys can plan something.

BbIt sounds like You've spoiled your wife. Great job on being a provider and catering to her. But she now feels entitled and has involved her mom by moving in and out. Her mom can't stop meddling in your marriage. You're upset and sick of it i know. I personally couldn't stay in this. But if you are willing tk work things out with her explain she needs a job. And if she decides to move again that you've already contacted an attorney (bluff) (but you should really weigh your options) and you will move forward with seprating and divorce.

Up to 17 days you can pick it up or have it sent by mail. Nigeria is different than other offices congratulations 💃👏

Well, good for you. You have a strategy in place to pass the time. 

I'm still curious what year your friend completed the process for his wife?

2018

I also helped another friend file for his fiance last april shes here already has been for 2 months now. So i think everyones case is different. Plus making sure all your documents are correct.

I'm curious; what year was this? Are you sure it was not DCF?

I like your optimism but reality will hit you hard quickly.

Not really dear I've been waiting all this time. I was just curious of everyones timeline. Every country is different. I'm in no rush i enjoy traveling back and forth. We have several projects going on so its better that he's there right now. Granted we don't like the distance. But if i was so bothered I'd go join him until  time comes. So however long it takes we're good with it 😁... Don't worry yourself thinking I'm not realistic i was stating that my friends process for his wife took 8 months total!

If you filed in January, expect an approval of this whole process including interview in January 2020 at the minimum.  

Hmm ok my friend brought his wife it took about 8 months total.

I filed October and still waiting. Your timeline says Nebraska so a little confused which SC you’re talking about. If it’s nebraska, the wait time is longer. I travel to see my husband every 3 months alternating between Turkey and Nigeria so that helps me with the wait. 

I just updated. I filed Texas i know several ppl who said 6 months. I just wanted an idea of when. Even if that's not the case I'm spending the summer there so i don't mind

I travel every few months to go see him. I'm patient but I still want to be informed. When i first filed me calling is how i recieved my case number. I also filed i129f. I just left a few weeks ago. I will continue calling ☺😅 even if its a waste. Thanks all looks like we may have 2 1/2 months left for approval. 

Thanks I'm looking forward to it. 

Hey guys! I filed for my husband in January 2019.  How long does it take for approval of I130 at the Texas office. I call every few days to stay updated and keep them on their toes. 😆 I know this takes a while I'm prepared. I was also told its being processed. Can anyone share their timeline. Also has anyone filed Janurary this year?

I’m really excited but nervous all at once.I combed through my I130 packet over and over and finally submitted my packet to bring my Hubby. I’m planning to spend one month with him on Nigeria for the holidays I miss him 😔❤️. Good luck everyone anyone from Michigan going through this or been through this?
