Shrimpy has no longer has husband. Shrimpy was beneficiary, but Shrimpy's then husband (Krabby) cheated on her with coworker, then proceeded to gaslight Shrimpy, and then the divorce happened.

Shrimpy's teller friend isn't a drunk, her neighbours are. But on a scale of 0-10, she's a 7?
No.
No idea, might be weird if Shrimpy asks though.

No idea why Shrimpy is talking in 3rd person at the moment.

Hey you guys ever notice that charging wires need replacement often?

I see....well, does Shrimpy's husband in Singlapore know that Shrimpy  likes to hang out with drunks?
 
And, is Shrimpy's drunk teller friend hot? 
Does she like to get drunk often? 
Does she do naughty things when she's drunk?

Teller at my bank got divorced, moved into a new apartment.
 
She met the neighbours, and had a beer with them and started talking...

...apparently her neighbours are my drunkard ex-boyfriend and his even worse roommate.
 
Why I was brought up in conversation, I will never know....

And maybe if I took a dump in the urinal, I'd hit the jackpot...

Only fook women from China...
He has a fetish. He wants to be tortured and ripped off...

could be a name problem.  if you have a moment, go back to the ssa office, 
ask to look up in the SAVE database, either A#, visa # or name. 
Then study - see what's 'off' - usually the name is mis-spelled in SAVE. 
 
There's a fix for SAVE, it's going to be a trek.  Without the name being correct, SSA won't issue a SSN . 

This is what you do 
 
1- go look for bear
2- shoot bear
3- remove gall bladder
4- submerge gall bladder in Jack Daniels
5- drink Jack Daniels
6- purchase bottle of Rogaine
7- use Rogaine sparingly, daily
8- voila!

The Naval Base has an immigration ombudsman office, ask your spouse to talk to the Base Command Petty Officer for the connection ...  This office fixes problems that USCIS likes to stall on. 

Note the clock is ticking since your I-94 arrival date, the POE date, ya ? 
 
1.  back at the SSA office, ask for a lookup via A File, alien number.  That one should exist.  Compare the name there on the screen to your passport name.  Come back and answer here with the difference before I will suggest any item #2 ... 
 
 

You must fix this with CBP firstly before hammering any SSA clerk.  CBP controls the data.  A shift supervisor at a CBP office has the power to change it in real time in the computer, but you have to engage, face to face, with that person.  The person at the desk usually is not the shift supervisor at CBP. 
 
 

This has become Heinlein-esqe, and that's a great thing (since he went to our uni as well) .. 
 
Here's the original: 
 
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects
 
Goofball - diet and exercise .. I am buff again, save for this troublesome hair

In the mists of the annals of time, I forget to ask - 
 
What's the backstory on this ?

"We would like to petition for a green card while she is here and adjust status."-  That doesn't sound like she intends to "go home as planned regardless" at all.....
As stated, you can start the process, but she must return before her authorized time expires.....
 
 

Yo Yo Yo ! I got down to my fighting weight this month, 195, only 4 percent body fat ...  No more busted knee problems, yo !  
 
So, ya, he _was_ a fat pig ..
 
mmmmmmmmmmmm Pig Fat !!!!  Drooling, yo ! 

Man haven't you been following the conversation? 
A Fook is an illegal immigrant from fujian!

I'm sure everything will turn out just fine. 
 
 
Ok now... where's the long version of this post?
 
 
 

Here's an article on fooks scamming  Canada.....
 
https://www.scmp.com/comment/blogs/article/1883085/immigration-mega-fraud-rich-chinese-immigrants-canada-who-dont-really

1 child policy....
Man this is a subject of long discussion. 
 
The end of the 1 child policy was done in stages. Starting in 2016 to 2018. The fooks on the countryside were the last to be allowed to have more than 1 child. There are lesser known facts suck as all women under 50 had to check in at a clinic for a pregnancy test every 3 months, forced sterilization, etc....
 
But  anyway, in place is still a 2 child policy. 
 
Here, there are calls to revisit the laws in regards to the US' asylum laws in response to china's 1 child policy, which has been distorted for decades by these fooks and others alike....
 
Here's an article if you wanna read, there are dozens of articles. Non are accurate according to me. 
 
https://nypost.com/2018/05/03/these-parents-risked-never-seeing-their-son-again-to-chase-the-american-dream/
 
Looks like the enforcement agency that oversaw the 1 child policy was disbanded this year. But now they'll need a new enforcer for it's 2 child policy.

Here's the story I spoke of in the old thread. And the follow up to it....
 
https://archives.fbi.gov/archives/newyork/press-releases/2012/twenty-six-individuals-including-six-lawyers-charged-in-manhattan-federal-court-with-participating-in-immigration-fraud-schemes-involving-hundreds-of-fraudulent-asylum-applications
 
https://www.us-immigration.com/us-immigration-news/us-immigration/undocumented-chinese-immigrants-remain-even-after-fraud-ring-bust/
 
What it comes down to is this....
 
1- Every mainlander swears up and down how great china is, but....it's not so great. In fact, no one wants to live there. 
2- Any well to do family will do everything they can to give birth abroad. 
3- fooks are ###holes. They are crass, rude, selfish, greedy, ##### savages. And giving the rest of the Chinese enclaves a bad rep. 
4- They arrive like cockroaches hourly, and smother the existing neighborhoods. (Read in the NY Post article about how they already planned their residency before they smuggled here). 
5- Fooks, don't wanna go back when caught. 
 
so, yeah, we have a serious problem here. 
Even my wife, she doesn't want to live in NYC now, because of illegals. 
We're swamped. When I walk my neighborhood of million dollar row-houses. I see more illegals than not. 
But the problem is not that they're illegal. It's because they're ###holes! 
They're not here to be Americans. 
They're here to continue the way they live, in their third world ways. 
But now I'm being redundant. 
So ends this post....
 
BTW, you know why their country of origins suck? 
because they were there! 
 
 
 
 
 
 

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Zedayn is correct, and I speak from experience as I went ONE day after the cut-off time.
Next step? Continue filing for EAD/AOS, do the fingerprint in about 2-3w from filing, and EAD will come in about 9-10w from filing, then you can go to SSN from my understanding.

No take-backs or changies !

Anyone getting the sense that this isn't the same Cap'n Ewok?

fingerprinting not connected to the other stuff you wrote about.
It is a requirement that he get fingerprinted, because of AWA. That's it, that's all. So, if a ton of other things to overcome, I think your on the right track for the 'tack' to take, when writing up letters of attestation.

eh - SSA clerk looked you up in SAVE database, to check your status.
Your name is wrong in the SAVE database.
How to fix? Go into any CBP office (airport or secondary inspection office), get the shift supervisor,
and have them change it there in real time. Don't leave until it's changed.
Then wait a week, go back to SSA office, and try it again.
If SSA office sent out your file for DHS verification, don't sweat it - nothing will happen during the I-94 period to get the name corrected by that SSA office request - you must go, in person, to a CBP office.

I've written something up for a SSN Howto - please have a read, make comments. At some point, I'll refactor, ask for it to be pinned here.
Thanks !

SSN Info for K-1 visa Holders and CR/IR Visa Holders
K-1 Visa Holders
Regardless of your Marital Status, you are allowed to apply for a SSN.
You have a particular time window in which to apply -
starts 2 weeks after POE date and ends 2 weeks before the I-94 expires.
Why are these start/end dates important?
2 weeks after POE date, the SAVE database MIGHT have you in the system.
SAVE is used by SSA clerks to validate you are eligible.
2 weeks prior to I-94 expiring, SSA won't accept the application, as the validity date to
receive it will pass by the time it's mailed out to you.
How to apply:
Get into your local SSA office, bring your passport and I-94 and a birth certificate. The birth
certificate is optional, but some SSA staffers want to see it. Fill out the SS-5 form there, use
your visa name (regardless of marital status) then
--ask the SSA clerk to look you up in the SAVE system via VISA NAME and/or A#.
---If the SSA clerk can't find you, withdraw the SS-5 firmly, and come back in a week.
---If the SSA clerk can find you by VISA Name but not A#, or vice versa, you need to get to a CBP secondary inspection office and FIX YOUR SAVE RECORD with a CBP staffer (see http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/overview_deferred_inspection.xml for the local office address). Don't bother with using a telephone, just go to the office. No queues, no lines, no waiting, just go. If the CBP staffer is confused, ask for the shift supervisor - tell them you have issues with your SAVE record..
---If the SSA clerk CAN FIND YOU, YAY! Go through with the SS-5 application. Come back the next day, and ask for the SSN. Note the physical card will be mailed out, but you can have the NUMBER the next working day.
CR-1/IR-1/CR-2/IR-2/IR-5 Visa Holders
'ticking the box' on the DS-230 is sorta teasing to any Visa Applicant.
The SSN may get processed, it may not get processed - it just depends on the clerk doing the
data entry work for the 'intake' on the casefile once yer wife handed it over to any POE
staffer. I know, the tick box was ticked, there's a reasonable expectation that 'something will
get done' based on that tick box...
But -
if it's been more than 2 weeks past the Port of Entry Date,
then there's a good chance that the SAVE database system has synched up,
and
any SSA clerk, at the local SSA office, can find her in the SAVE database.
Ya won't know till you try. Suggest you go in person, bring -
--yer foreign spouse
--yer foreign spouse's passport
--filled out application (can get those at the office, too)
and apply.
Whilst at the SSA office -
Ask any clerk to look her up in the SAVE database, in the VISA name and A#.
If they can't find her by EITHER ONE (name or A#) - go away, do not allow the application to be
accepted, come back in a week - SAVE system doesn't have her, yet.
IF any SSA clerk mumbles 'need DHS/USCIS electronic verification' - do not allow the application to be accepted - come back in a week - SAVE system doesn't have her, yet.
Although SAVE database is useful for 'status checking' at the SSA office (by the SSA clerks) -
many of them are not trained on how to use it. If you get blank looks or mumbles, ask for a
Supervisor, and ask the Supervisor to 'look her up' in SAVE.
If she is found via A# but the VISA name is stored wrong, in SAVE, you'll need to do something else, with the SAVE unit, to get it changed.
It's a hassle, sure, but suggest you do change it to proper spelling of 'VISA NAME' prior to SSN issuance.
