    So my wife arrived on her CR1 visa on 8/19. When I filled out the DS-260, I checked the box for the social security card to be issued. It said we should have it within three weeks of arrival. Well, it didn’t come. today we went to the local Social Security office and they told us she did not have a number issued yet and asked if we’d like to fill out an application. So we did. Then we were told they had to have USCIS verify her alien status which could take 4-6 weeks. She said we’d get a letter in the mail when this was done and then they would issue a card. in my view this is beyond ridiculous. Has anyone else experienced this?

    You sent also certified translations?

    Finally with a PD of 5/6/2023 - we have a CEAC Visa Status of "Issued". I will bring my wife to the USA from Thailand on August 19. I wish all of you May 23 folks the very best!

    Thank you!!!

    My wife just passed her interview and was approved by the consular officer. I read there is an immigrant fee of $200 or so payable to USCIS. Is this true? When do I do that?

    NVC issued our interview date for the Bangkok Embassy (July 15) on Tuesday morning. Good luck to all of you! Keep checking USCIS.

    What I mean here is a US citizen can be living in Thailand with their spouse - then can apply for an IR1/CR1 visa at the embassy with the intent to move to the USA together. That is what these appointments were. If you file in the US, you go through the NVC to get the appointment. The embassy confirmed this to me when I spoke to them. It does not matter now as we have our interview appointment.

    I was on the ustraveldocs Thai embassy site where you get the GSS letter and where you can schedule an interview. It showed a July date. I didn’t follow thru because I contacted the embassy and they said those dates are not for me and I have to wait for NVC. By chance, NVC emailed me this morning and our appointment is July 15! So excited!

    It was using traveldocs. But it is only for those applying in Thailand not from the US.

    I saw from the embassy that there are appointments available in July, and since it is May, the NVC would not yet have July dates?

    Is there a specific time that the embassies release dates to the NVC for interviews? I got an email form NVC saying they do these a month at a time on a first in first out basis. What exactly does the month at a time mean?
  12. LennyO
    Yeah me too...

    Congrats! We are still waiting for our interview letter from the Bangkok embassy... 😬

    NVC emailed me confirming DQ. Just waiting for an interview appointment to free up at the Bangkok Embassy.

    Thanks. I am fairly certain it was in the right place but it was almost three weeks ago. I did send a public inquiry to the NVC to double check everything and hopefully will hear back next week so it gets pushed to the embassy.

    So I got an email (actually two) from NVC - one said we were DQ. The other said status update. I logged into CEAC and it said the civil docs were Incomplete and it showed the marriage/divorce of the applicant was missing. But in the optional documents, it had that set of marriage/divorce docs in there as accepted. So, I uploaded them again to the required doc section. For 15 days now it shows Submitted as status. Am I still DQ? My CEAC visa status shows At NVC, and no IL received yet. Anyone else experience this?

    She decided to get the vax just in case so there are no delays.
  18. LennyO
    she said it is difficult to find in Thailand

    My wife is concerned that we seem to require a Covid vaccine within the past year. She has already had four shots and some reactions to them. Is this true that she needs yet another one, when we in the USA don't?

    It was on the Documents tab. And they closed my K3 also.
  21. LennyO
    Me too! So excited!
  22. LennyO
    Just got approved!!! NOA2

    Mine has said "taking longer than expected..." for many months now.
  24. LennyO
    My status still says "taking longer than expected" and has been stuck that way for a while now. Not sure what that means, if anything... I see from the timeline page that CSC is up to 1/28/23 for PD.

    I was married in Thailand on 4/7/2023 and filed the I-130 online on May 6. NOA1 received same day and on May 8 status is in active review. Looks like Texas will get the case. Hoping for less than 13 months, but we will see. Good luck everyone! If thread already exists, feel free to merge.
