Hello, i am extremely grateful for the help of this community. 
 

i have entered states and the receipt number on USCiS tracker shows that my greencard is being produced. My question is: 

will they send the social security with it? Or do i need to apply for that somewhere ? 
 

can i apply for drivers license in florida state before greencard is received? 
 

Are there any other important form or application which we should submit now?

I brought my documents along in this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002E2QPWO/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Good luck  wishing you a smooth process. 

Thank you @PBabz

That's really great information thank you so much. What did you carry your documents in? And How big was your wedding album? I know they are strict with that you can take there. 

There is a forum which i posted i will tag you there i took the exact same for documents. My album was a wide diary like so i showed it through the window you can take the print outs if you want to they can easily pass through the window. 
 

and i carried album and chat logs in a plastic shopper (like those shopping one they are strong to hold wait)

Ceac tracker shows issue, can anyone guide me what should i expect next; how long will it take to receive my passport ? 
 

i did made my profile on cgi for pickup so will they email me or call me to inform abt the pickup ?

Congratulations!!! No you don't have to inquire. AP is what they call the time between interview and issuance of visa. You will receive your visa very soon so celebrate and wait just a little bit 😁. 

 

How was the interview? What did you take for proof of marriage? What did you take your documents in? How long was the interview? Any tips or advice? 

Thanks for the positive vibes ! 
 

interview went really well, i took every single document to proof of whatsapp chats and wedding album. 
 

my interview lasted for hardly 5 mins. Was only asked abt the marriage date, photo album, birth and marriage certificate and two photographs of me !  I wont lie i was nervous but i would share a tip to hear the question first carefully and if you feel like you didn’t understand it dont be afraid to ask again. Its better to ask again then to answer abt something else. Dont be in a rush as they are not. Be as relax as possible.

I have been handed an approval Visa congratulations letter along with right etc handbook by consular at the time of interview, they kept my passport and told me will get it in a few days. 
 

but my status shows AP since the interview, kindly advice whats that suppose to mean? Should i enquire? How long will it take to get it issued ?

I hope your visa is approved! There are a lot of youtube videos about how people took their documents you should see them.

 

When did you become documentarily qualified (DQ) at NVC? also after interview please let us know how it was like and any tips. Wishing you luck. 

Mine is in upcoming week ! Thanks for the advice; i got dq in april 2020

i will surely share every single information.

Will i be asked about the original birth certificate and its translation at the time of interview? (Mentioned in forth bullet point)

i only have original union council birth registration certificate, which is bilingual! 

I need to ask a ques do i need to present nadra birth certificate only or is original and translation of birth certificate is also required by the embassy?

Yes, if the interview is that soon.  Actually, 1 pay stub showing YTD income is sufficient.

Hello @pushbrk would you suggest that i should upload additional pics, gift receipts, call log n money transfers before interview 

my interview is this week and i am confused whether should i add additional documents to avoid AP or not ?

hello.i have given my cr1 visa interview recently.i have everything proofs financial papers along with. they checked everything especially their main focus was on our relationship proofs. so they kept my passport my all marriage certificates and wedding pics as well.but they didn't tell me any reason for why they are issuing me white color code 221g paper and on that paper there's nothing they ticked which they want from us.only mentioned your case is in AP and you will be notified if any action is required. they have also kept all my orignal docs with my passport. they asked me few questions about our relationship and the Co was also noting it on a notepad about our relationship then on the same day in the evening they also called my spouse in US and then asked few questions about our relationship with her as well. my question is what they are trying to do and will they return my case back to uscis or what's going on with us? i am so worried and confused because they didn't tell me any reason or missing docs which they can demand. please help me. 😒

Hello, 

did you upload any additional proofs etc prior to interview ?

I have interview in December, kindly tell how should i carry my documents there website shows this message 

now i am worried on how to carry photo-album and chat records as they can not be carried in hand ! 

Hello 

i had my medical done recently from aga khan karachi, however they didnt inform whether the medical is approved or not

If asked when last you saw your spouse he can tell them. They know what's going on in the world. If not asked don't worry about it.
Will it be an issue depends on if they believe yo are a bonafide couples. Just remain positive that yo are and no worries.

Thank you @dwheels76 🙏🏼 😊 

Hey, 

We were dqed in april 2020; now interview is going to be in dec. Have heard recently from a source that we qualify to bring i864 aos to the interview; but my spouse uploaded i864ez at NVC stage and got successfully dqed ! 
 

now i am confused can CO reject i864EZ ? 
 

My spouse fulfil all three requirements mentioned on EZ form !!  I need to understand why i864 is needed ? And not EZ !!

what should we do? 

Hello, 

what did you update on your DS260 ?

It's always best to provide information that is as up to date as possible.  You could update you AOS with 2020 income in a few weeks and any updates to current income.  So, do it.

we have interview at starting of dec, 

6 weeks of recent pay stubs along with 2019 tax returns and updated AOS will be sufficient right ?

@JFH @Jorgedig 

we have screenshot of his canceled flight, also in 2019 we didnt thought it would take another whole year ! 
also i was completing my masters so we planned to get together by the beginning of year 2020 ! 

Hello, 

we have our interview in dec, my question is my husband last visited at the end of 2018, later on he planned n booked tickets cause the process was taking so long to come meet me in 2020 afterwards lockdown n corona happened !! We have proofs of tickets etc n ongoing communication between us on regular basis. 
 

do you think it will be an issue on interview day n whether they will understand that why he didn’t visit after marriage ?

To me it sounds like you just need the transcript/tax docs

If it's easy for you to do an updated AOS just in case, why not.

And what would you suggest should i upload 2019 tax docs all in one pdf ? 

I am concerned as i have read and heard that CO put candidates in AP cause of unavailability of tax transcript!

2 hours ago, Babu Frik said:

You should read the instructions for the I-864.

They say what to provide if you don't have transcripts.

 

Yes if you don't provide something for 2019 it will be an issue.

You can provide either of the options they ask for.

Transcripts are preferred but not mandatory.

and what about an updated AOS with 2019 income ? Should we provide that also with the recent returns ?

@pushbrk w2, additional taxes, 1040, PTC all combined in a pdf ? Need i have to mention that transcript is still in process? 
 

also, do i need to update AOS also ?
