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.

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

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

This one.. So we should receive if we answered this correctly?

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?

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?

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.

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

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?
