  1. Thanks Jeanne, I bookmarked this. Instructions I was looking at was more complicated and not direct like the one you shared. This should make it clear as day for them. Also, I feel 100% confident now they didn't know what they were doing. Arken thanks for reply. She got here 4 days ago. They informed me when at office that I need to wait 10 days before they could do anything for something to show up in system. With your 2nd quote I think it's best just to wait anyhow. Maybe things are faster now. I will stop stressing. Give it 2 weeks and then attempt to teach the nice green behind the ears ladies at SSA difference between non-immigrant and immigrant visas. Everyone here been so helpful. Can't say I'm thankful enough. I used this site mainly just by reading and felt greatly educated until the last few steps on this two year process. Thankful I was able to fix my confusion.
  2. Also the i551 we have is at the bottom of the visa. States this is a temporary i551. Idk if we ever get a permanent i551 or this is what we use
  3. Thanks for reply. After hours on the phone with USCIS and SSA main number I am convinced the local office never deals with this much. So you are probably correct. Next closest branch hour away. Any kind of odds that it automatically comes? Hard for me going to another one as I work first shift. Debating on waiting or taking another day off
  4. This one.. So we should receive if we answered this correctly?
  5. Yes I did. The lady said she needs information on i94 to enter into system. I just checked our ds260. We answered yes on the last question. We agreed to share the information to homeland security and SSA. So this means we will automatically receive it?
  6. So I took my daughter and wife to local SSA branch yesterday. They allowed me to file app for daughter with her crba document. They said my wife needs a i94. I explained she entered on a ir1 visa and immigrant visa holders don't get a i94 but they insisted she should of received one. At this point I am a bit lost. Do I have to wait for green card in mail before I can apply for her SSN?
  7. Thanks for responses and help everyone. Wife got her cfo done in 1 day. Getting ready to book her flight for friday in a few minutes. Just to be clear... There is no other fee that needs paid before she goes through immigration? Paid the ELIS fee today. Just recall reading she should of received a payslip from embassy for something that needed to be paid or else US immigration wouldn't let her through. Sorry if dumb question. At this point, everything running together in my mind. Been a crazy long journey. Hoping to hold the ship steady this last little part.
  8. Apparently, I was reading old posts so I expected a sealed envelope. I called embassy they told me exactly what you said hank. I asked about the 220 homeland security fee needed to enter through immigration. The lady said if the embassy didn't give us then it isn't required. That doesn't make me feel confident so I will be sending extra 220 with my wife just in case. Or is it better to just go ahead and pay using a number on visa? As far as uscis ELIS fee. I am not sure. It isn't sounding familiar. I know I paid all the fees in each step of the process but I will double check that if I can figure out where to look again. Haha. Thanks for reply and help hank
  9. My wife got approved after interview. She only received to information pamphlets after interview. Today she picks up her package at lbc branch. The only thing inside is her passport with visa in it. It was my understanding she should have received a sealed envelope to give to immigration. Also a payslip for homeland security fee. We have nothing with alien number or I'd just pay it. Not sure what happened here. Our case was expedited. Ir1. Does this happen sometimes? Only medical record she received to take with her was the shots she got. No xrays. No sealed envelope... Is this a problem?
  10. Hunny thanks. I messaged wife name. This part of the process has me lost tbh. What I thought I knew is incorrect apparently. Where are you getting these release of dates for SLEC and USEM from? Do they release new month of dates on certain days?
  11. Thanks Hank. That is the number we called and they sent us a link to email to schedule interview. Our case status depends on who you ask. I have waited a total of 7 hours on the phone with nvc in the last week. My experience is the website, checker is always delayed. My case was showing at nvc all of last week. Nvc said it just hadn't updated and it had already went through transit and is ready. Since then my case on website updated to manila now. If you use the case status checker it now shows in transit. Using my conversations with nvc as a guide my status will show ready in about 3 days. As for the medical. Does a medical check expire? If there is a backlog there too... Maybe it is better to get that out of the way as long as it doesn't expire. I felt like I researched everything up to this point perfectly but this part isn't how I rembered it. Appreciate the help everyone
  12. Yes it is IR1 spouse visa. Sorry missed answering your question.
  13. Thanks for response. It was my understanding that you set up medical after you get interview date. Is this wrong? That is why I said 6 weeks. From research I did. Interview is 4 weeks approximately and you do medical 2 weeks prior.
  14. Also if I assume I will have to wait until June to get a date scheduled. Getting my wife here before my mother's operation first of July isn't realistic is it? From what I've gathered 6 weeks process after receiving date. Sorry... Just lost my father and now serious situation with mother this new path has devastated me. Thought I could have some support here soon
  15. Our case was expedited at NVC and approved due to death and sickness in family in US. Which was good news in a bad situation. Was told to contact embassy to take next steps. We were sent a link where we did application for interview only to find no appointment dates available. I can't help nut feel like we got sent down the wrong path here. We got expedited only to compete with available dates with everyone else? If this isn't a error, really hoping it is as I need my wife right now, any tips on checking for new available dates? Some open in mornings when embassy opens or first of the month? Thanks for any help. Thanks for previous help also. I haven't posted much but the good information here led to a successful error free process.
