What could disqualify him is what put him in prison in the 1st place A disqualifying criminal history for immigration typically includes convictions for serious offenses, particularly those involving violence, moral turpitude, or drug-related activities. Specifically, aggravated felonies, crimes involving moral turpitude, and drug-related crimes can make a person inadmissible. Additionally, spending 180 days or more in jail or prison for any crime can also negatively impact immigration eligibility. there are 2 other posts here with members (spouse in prison ) who might be able to help you / use search bar above to reach out to them HIs prison job does not continue after release so he needs joint sponsor He also needs proof of where you will live in US

OP And having a common law wife in Cameroon didn't scare you? Do you know what may happen when he has that precious green card as has happened to some from Africa ? Do you know USCIS may not even issue green card Yes, USCIS does look back at your case before issuing your green card, even after an IR1 visa has been issued. Why? Final Review: Before issuing the permanent resident card (green card), USCIS conducts a comprehensive review of your entire case to ensure all eligibility requirements are still met.

you can try calling but the office shouldn't give out info over the phone Try the SS webpage www.SSA.gov and also take a copy of photo ID (passport and National ID are good) / they may require 2 mail the ID along with a letter to the main office telling them your issue to get the number they were quick to respond to me when someone stole my SS number send copy of this also to local office The Social Security Administration's (SSA) central office is located at 6401 Security Boulevard, Baltimore, MD 21235.

As of early 2025, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Social Security Administration (SSA) have stopped automatically communicating about Social Security Numbers (SSNs). This means that USCIS no longer automatically sends applicants' information to the SSA after approving employment authorization documents (EADs) or naturalization. As a result, applicants will need to take additional steps to obtain an SSN or update their citizenship status: made appointment as nearest SS office and apply (form is online to do ahead of appointment)

USCIS requires a physical address for all applications, and a Post Office Box (P.O. Box) is not considered a physical address.

No, you don't need a separate "e-travel" (also known as an Electronic Travel Authorization, or ETA) on an IR-1 visa. The IR-1 visa is an immigrant visa that allows you to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident, and it already grants you the right to enter and travel within the U.S. The "e-travel" requirement generally applies to non-immigrant visa holders and those who are part of the Visa Waiver Program.

Send what is asked for Complete tax return from IRS (mine was 11 pages and some of them did not apply to me but immigration can not guess on that -they must see it) sign the I 864 by pen -black inn is best include all W 2's and any 1099's give a number of all living in house so they can calculate needed income if u do not meet the 125% of poverty income , include all the info as stated with that person's I 864

please do a timeline and ID the country/ embassy getting the visa very much depends on the country for extra security may be needed (or additional proofs and/or joint sponsor)
