What could be the major headache if applications cross? In an ideal scenario I agree with you but waiting months for USCIS to wake up is not an option for most people who need to work etc.
On a side note I got notified by the USCIS today that they have issued the green card so it should be arriving in the mail in a few days hopefully. But I dont think there's a way to see if they have done anything on the SSN.
Thanks for the responses guys!
Save check on uscis. Put your A number and see if you’re verified and what’s the status

SSN can take a few months to arrive nowadays. I'd definitely wait. Applying for an SSN could result in major headaches down the road if the applications happen to cross.
When we applied for my stepdaughter's SSN (11 months after her arrival she never got one), they only asked for photocopies of passport/green card to be mailed. A few weeks later they mailed us an interview notice, and we brought original docs to that appointment. They only checked her passport and we were out in <60 seconds.
I HIGHLY recommend against sending in your original passport until you have your green card in hand, and you're willing to take a trip to your home country's consulate to apply for a replacement.
Thats why I said make an appointment to meet with your social security officer rather than sending documents

Hey, I arrived in Portland last week and am looking to get my SSN, drivers license etc. sorted.
The problem with the SSN is they ask you to fill out a form and mail it to the office with the supporting documents. I don't want to risk mailing my passport (my visa is the main document I have till the green card arrives) as it is the only real form of ID I have right now.
Also I seem to remember that on the DS260 I checked a box which authorized them to process a SSN which should reach the person in around 3 week after arriving in the US.
So basically what are people doing on arriving in the US nowadays, with regards to getting a SSN?
Due to the pandemic, there will be longer waiting time. call the nearest social security office and set up a one to one appointment, submit the form along with your original passport and MRIV and birth certificate.
this method will save you alot of time than waiting to be verfied by dhs.

Noted not the interview date apologies for the typo error i mean regarding the DQ dates. My DQ was on October 5th very peculiar to know that the NVC has jumped to November. Its ok pal i understand need to wait very hard to guess cannot estimate anything.
Don’t worry, i know people that had their interviews scheduled and their DQs were till early September. You will most probably get the interview very soon. If not feb then march but very soon.

The folder with your documents should be in the plastic bag no bags are allowed
Oh okay, i actually had a clear folder with pockets for the documents. Do they care if the back of the folder is made from semi hard material? It would be great if you could attach a photo describing it

By the grace of God visa got approved. It only took one hour and 45 minutes. Only plastic cover was allowed. First security checked got token number 3 and fingerprint and gave birth/marriage/police certificates medical records and 1 photo to a counter then called the number. Questions are how we met, when was our marriage, what i am doing here, where in the U.S my spouse is, where are we planning to stay in US(alone or with parents) and then he took the passport for Visa.
Are transparent folders at the gate? Or everything should be in a clear plastic bag?

Thanks! I sent it to them last Sunday and received it back on Thursday. So a total of 5 days from submitting to empost to getting it back in my hands.
How much were the fees paid at the embassy?

Congratulations!! Quick question, how much was the fees you were required to pay at the embassy. Hopefully this question will help others.

Cool. I received my passport back yesterday. Basically I got it back the next day after CEAC showed the status as issued.
Do you have to bring in the original signed Affidavit of support or a copy?

Wait for them to come back to you and then send your passport via Empost. I was instructed at the interview to submit my passport at Empost, hence I did it at the same time. You should wait, i believe, until asked by the embassy.
I did send a follow up email to the embassy email address asking for an update. I guess it’ll be good that you send a follow up email as well asking when can you submit your passport.
submitting passport at Empost is straightforward. The empost guy helped us out in this. We have to print a document from the link https://ais.usvisa-info.com/en-ae/iv. Follow steps. You will click on submit additional documents, print and give it to Empost along with your passport.
So quick question? Right after the interview do they take your passport to stamp the visa or do they tell you go to empost and mail it in and then stamp the visa and return it back to you?

I understand everyone’s frustration, I know a close member that has been waiting since September for their IL. I wish they would be a little bit more transparent with their reasons on why the delays are happening for certain people.
