An update on my situation.
Still haven't received the SSN after applying on October 5. Called a few times and SSA reps stated that first time immigrants sometimes have to wait 4 to 6 weeks to receive card and they don't have any way to track it.
Sent an e-request to USCIS on October 16 asking about the physical green card. Automated email stated to wait until November 15 for a reply.USCIS replied on 13 November stating:
"The status of this service request is:You contacted USCIS to provide your updated address. We updated your address to:
XXX X XXXX, USA"
This response seems like a non-sequitur since the purpose of the service request was for "Non-Delivery of Permanent Resident Card". Hoping to see an update there soon.
As for the Social Security issue, I called again today and the rep said that we should just re-apply for a social security card because it's been too long and they can't find my wife's name in the database. I have no idea what could have gone wrong here, but it is what it is. -

Immigrant Visa Fee Paid: 20 May 2023
POE: 28 August 2023
46 days and counting.
Went to local SSA office to apply for SSN. Waiting on that and the physical green card now. Still on the "Immigrant Visa Fee Payment Received" status on https://egov.uscis.gov/An update on my situation.

Had the same happening to us. Landed July 7th. And have had the same status for 2 months. I sent an erequest, and they replied that they are missing some biometrics. We had to go to USCIS and take another picture, now the stays changed to the “Card Being Produced”. You have to ask them why your status doesn’t change.
Thanks for this tip. I'll give it a shot.

To update everyone, my wife is now in the U.S. 🙌 but the immigration officer did not have the current address as changed in the AR-11 and as confirmed in a message from USCIS. I don't know where the disconnect is, but providing the updated address to the immigration officer will suffice. Looking forward to getting her green card and ss card in the mail now!

1. Email
2. Not that I am aware of
3. She should provide to
* the airline your current physical address and
* CBP at the port of entry your current physical and mailing addresses.
After she arrives, you should file I-865 to change your two addresses from the addresses listed on I-864
Thank you! -
Hey everyone, my wife received her temporary green card in her passport and will be coming to the U.S. in a few months on an IR1. I've already moved to the U.S. but to a location different than the one listed in the I-130 and DS-260.
I've already submitted an online change of address request to USCIS on behalf of my wife and myself and have received emails confirming receipt of request.
On the email, it states that we should expect a reply by a certain date, but it's already past that date.
- Where should we expect a reply? Via mail or email?
- Is there anywhere I can check to see the status of the address change?
- How can I make sure that my wife won't encounter any issues from the immigration officer when she arrives?
Thank you!

*** Moved from IR1/CR1 Process & Procedures to Moving to the US forum -- topic is about procedures after completion of visa process and US entry ***
The mailing address listed in the DS-260. As mentioned above, you may confirm or change the address by notifying the CBP officer at POE. The officer might not ask about the address, so volunteer the info.
Great! Thank you. Would you happen to know if that's where the Social Security card is mailed to as well?

Just now, Loren Y said:
When you come thru the POE, one of the questions the officer will ask is " Have you paid your Green card fee" if you have he will ask to verify the address on file. If they don't ask, make sure you bring it up at POE, that is your only chance to check the address the card will be mailed to if you already paid the fee online. After you enter it will be a real time trying to figure things out. Just make sure you verify at POE.
Thank you! Will verify at POE.

I got this message after paying for the USCIS Immigrant Fee.
"Confirm Your U.S. Mailing Address To Receive Your Green Card
Now that you have paid your USCIS Immigrant Fee, USCIS will prepare to mail your Green Card to the U.S. mailing address you gave the Department of State (DOS) at your visa interview. To ensure that we send your Green Card to your correct address, create a USCIS Online Account to verify or update your U.S. mailing address."
I'm guessing that would mean the DS-260 address, but I'm not sure.
Also I don't see anywhere in my USCIS account where I can verify a mailing address. -
We just received my wife's passport with the temporary visa stamp (sticker) and paid for the $220 USCIS Immigrant Fee.
Which address will the physical green card be mailed to?Is it the address we entered in Form I-130 #12.a. or the Permanent Address listed in our DS-260?

Congrats!
We're still stuck in Administrative Processing unfortunately.
CO said my wife was approved and we should expect the passport in 3 to 5 days, but no progress since.Interview was 5/2. CEAC status changed from Ready to AP that day. Been stuck in AP since. Today "Case Last Updated" date changed from 2-May-2023 to 19-May-2023 and just now the status changed to Issued. 🙌
Trust the process. We've all come this far and we're going to cross the finish line soon. -

Sorry if this is the wrong spot, but I’m not sure where to ask my question. My wife and I just reached the nvc stage and I need answers that I can’t seem to get or they conflict. We filed the I-130 with her maiden name, yet I’ve been told that I can update her married name at the nvc stage so that I wouldn’t have to do name changes once she arrived in the US. We want to have her married name used on her IV application and going forward but not sure if it’s possible. Her passport is currently in her maiden name, but if we need to change it to married we can relatively easy.
Can we use her married name on the ds-260 and if so would it then cause her gc and everything to be issued in the married name? Or is it not possible to use the married name until she’s already state side and have to go the long and expensive name change route? Wife is a Philippines citizen if it helps.
My understanding is change the name now to the married name so it reflects it on her passport and then go on with the nvc stage using her married name.

Do you think you could add a column with the interview date so we can follow everyone's timeline to the end? I know every country is going to be different as far as interview dates go, but it gives the hope that at least this process is moving forward.
Sure, everyone please tag me if you want your info added to this extended table.

I still haven’t heard back from them. I have tried to send public inquiries multiple times but it is not helping at all. It is so freaking frustrating. What should I do ? Please send some suggestions.
