  1. USPS apparently delivered my green card via priority mail but accidentally delivered it to the wrong address. I have been on a goose chase with them to try to locate it. It has been 2 weeks since the delivery; they are unable to find it and keep stalling me. I visited the location they delivered it to and they have been frantically trying to locate it too (it's a school and the entire staff is on it - they actually know my husband as he went to middle school there). I contacted USCIS and after a few agents with misinformation, they advised that either: I should wait a little longer or just file for a replacement card. I would need to file an I 90 and pay the fee AGAIN. There's also another form I can submit for a fee waiver, which is subject to their consideration. It would take me 19 months to get a new card and according to them, they've done their job, and it's for me to sort out with USPS or then just apply for it all over again. This is beyond frustrating, and I've been told this happens A LOT. My learning from this is to watch my mail and case tracker like a hawk in the future. When I went from my biometrics, the lady at the office said it could take up to 6 months for it to be printed and delivered. Therefore, I never really kept tabs on my case tracker. I happened to randomly log into the case tracker a few days later to check up, and to my surprise, it was delivered within two weeks but again to the wrong address...... Any advice is helpful. Thank you in advance.
  2. Hi all, Apologies if this has been answered already. I am writing to understand if I can work while waiting for my SSN. I will start a new job hopefully 1 week after I get my passport back from the embassy where I currently reside. I will travel soon-after my passport is returned to me with the temp stamp (hopefully no AP!). CR-1 case. Moving to California. I understand that I can work without an SSN (see point 3 on this link) : it's just that it'll take additional steps for my future employer to register me without an SSN, and as long as I can provide an SSN prior to the conclusion of the current tax year (so they can withhold taxes) My questions are as follows: Is the above understanding correct? Is it common for employers to do this? Is there a chance the employer refuses to do this additional and asks me to wait it out/rescind the offer? How long does it take for an SSN to arrive? Many thanks in advance!

  5. LOL! I think most people are not experts on topics, which is why they come here to seek clarifications, but thanks for taking the time to read and respond.
  6. oh jeez... thanks a lot for the info!
  7. one more thing - does this apply if I visit once a month on a weekend and work a Friday and a Monday from the US?
  8. That's awesome! Great to hear that. I'm thinking to follow what you did. I'm afraid if I get an offer I wouldn't be able to do anything about it!
  9. WHAT. Oh gosh, thank God I posted here. Thanks for the info.
  10. thanks for the info. someone suggested looking for remote opportunities in the interim that'll allow me to visit my spouse every few weeks (we are a 2h flight apart)
  11. When is a good time to start looking for work? What exactly do you need before you are considered 'employable' in the US? I'm waiting for my IL so got lots of time on. my hands; thought I'd get a head start on applications but don't want to start too early where it'd be an issue if I get an offer before my local embassy interview.
  12. anyone have any luck on Abu Dhabi interviews? Can someone add me to the Telegram please?
  13. Hi all, Does anyone know what the status / approx wait times are for the Abu Dhabi Consulate scheduling interviews? Petition filed: May 2021 Petition Approved: Sept 2021 1st FE: Dec 2021 DQ'd March 2022. Petitioner is a USC and beneficiary is a Canadian citizen living in the UAE. Does it make sense to transfer the case to Canada? Thanks in advance! E
