Well, if he wasn't allowed into Canada, then he was denied entry. That's what I meant. I'm just curious what happened as he should have been allowed in.

I really have no idea..

I called uscis few mins ago and i cought up with a person then i gave the information again..

She said my welcome letter and GC still on process its not done pending yet...

I asked her why it takes so awhile she said bla bla bla there are so many aplicants etc etc

I said i have couple of friends here they got their welcome letter and GC in 3 weeks how about me ?

She said just wait another 2 or 3 weeks i said sure what could i say...

Come on uscis let me go!!!

they stuck on me like a vampire

Thanks saylin for ur support

Your friend was denied? That doesn't make sense as the stamp in the passport acts as a temporary green card. Did the officers say anything in specific to your friend?

And yes, just a wait a bit and you can always call next week to see if there's any update.

No he was not denied he is already in usa with CR1 visa and he wanted to travel canada with his wife even thought he got a stamp in his passport they did not allowed him to get in canada so they went back to usa

anyways it is not that important he doing ok

Hmm, it's taking a long time for you. But you're not the only one, so you don't need to panic. It's taken some people months to get their green card. But if I were you, just sit back and wait. The stamp in your passport acts as a temporary green card, so if you need to travel or anything, you don't need to worry.

The SSN is another story though as you need that to work and other things. If you applied for the SSN, then you should get it soon. After I applied at my local SSA office, I got it 10 days later. And don't worry about getting 2 SSNs. I've never seen that happen before.

Thank you Saylin,

I better to be patient and calm.the thing my friend also had the same problem about GC and they wanted to visit canada even thought he was not Gc in hand he showed the passport the temporary GC they did not allowed him to pass.

Anyways there is nothing to do except waiting i will call uscis for another week

help ?

There is no any news of uscis side it has been 2 weeks that i already gave them register number and i still did not get welcome letter or Gc

It's up to you. If they were behind in their paperwork, then they might have been behind in sending your info to the SSA.

Hello SAylin,

Yes i was searching about Chicago POE they are sending the papers to uscis late what if my papers still stuck there

you already know those My POE was June 9 Chicago Ohare and it has been almost 2 months that i did not received welcome letter , GC and SSN yet after one month later we went to apply SSN card but the officer told us he cant help bec i m not in their system then we back home and called USCIS talked to person she got my Register number(Alien number) 2 weeks ago but i still did not get a welcome letter or GC

Do i have to call them again (USCIS) or i need to wait for another week any advice pls ?

by the way i went to local SSA office even she gave me hard time to apply one and applied for SSN and got a receipt hopefully i will get it within 2 weeks...

I have a question now

we also checked the boxes in DS 230 form is that possible that i might have 2 different of SSN ?

I m worried of it

thank you

Hello Guys,

I have few problem as well.My POE was June 9 Chicago Ohare and it has been almost 2 months that i did not received welcome letter , GC and SSN yet after one month later we went to apply SSN card but the officer told us he cant help bec i m not in their system then we back home and called USCIS talked to person she got my Register number(Alien number) 2 weeks ago but i still did not get a welcome letter or GC

thank you

Thanks for the advice! We are so ready to get that date! When will Bulut come to the states?

Hey Michele,

How you doing ? is there any news about your interview date i hope its gonna be soon

Michelle just saw ur timeline and you will probably have your interview soon. I'm thinking August. From what I've seen, the embassy seems to schedule us around 6-8 weeks after NVC finishes our case.

Still bring some evidence, but not tons because the Immigration officers look at your forwarded packet and when Bulut brought extra evidence the woman (not the IO) told him to just choose certain ones because they can't look at everything. Just show the evidence that helps your case the most. Good luck!

Thats correct!!

i think they already know everything about us (Bec of USCIS stage) before interview date and its already in their system that you will get ur visa or not thats what i noticed.

The intewrview is kind of formalite to me

You guys will be fine

PS: I really dont know about the name of the receipt you talking about its kinda souce to me

eggplant peppers and olive oil

How is everybody doing ?

Hey Kelly Nice to hear from you i hope ur AP will end soon

MaRi how you doing ? how is everything ?

Melbar Where the heck are you ? lol

thank you saylin i will wait a week more then i will try to apply for SSN

Hi everyone! Sorry I was away, Bulut had his interview and WE WERE APPROVED!! I was just too nervous to come on here a fw days b4 everything because then I would start to worry about what we sent and what we didn't send and AP and a whole slew of other things we had no control over. So now you can tell I'm the woman that worried about everything. I could take an HIV test and come back negative, turn around and take another one 5 minutes later and still worry about the results. I put an embassy report up if anyone wants to know what happened (not much, as it was only 5 minutes).

Tolsab, I'm so hungry now! That is the perfect kahvalti and makes me home sick even more. I really miss peynir, tereyagi and ekmek and I'm all good.

B- i told you it wont take long at interview as long as you prepared very well

Congrats again so happy for both

Mari and BahaChe

thank you so much guys...

we called uscis today to update our stuff bec lastday i went to SSA office to get my SSN but i was not in their system yet (i have no idea why) so the officer told us that he cant help us then we called uscis i hope finally i will receive all ( i did not received welcome letter bullshoot) i am already in usa since 1.5 months and nothing goin on i bored to be at home i m ready for DL exams but i have no SSN yet so i cant do a thing..

a week from now i will also go back to SSA office

Congrats B you approved

good luck everybody...

it is my birthday today so we went to magic water today wow!! it was awesome and i have fun i loved it!!

whats up guys? how is everybody?

Glad you finally got through to someone at USCIS. Perhaps you should wait another 2-3 weeks to see if you get an SSN in the mail.

thank you so much for ur help

Saylin i need your advice about that should i need to wait another 2-3 weeks? then see if i will also get my SSN or should i go to SSA office to apply for SSN ?

i bored to keep waiting home i want to get DL, i want to work etc...

what do you think ? pls let me know bec USCIS not requested for SSN maybe they wont send it then i should been wasting my time to wait for it...

thank you again

Hmm, I would think Chicago would be efficient with mailing packages to USCIS in a reasonable amount of time.

What did the guy mean when he said "you are not issued yet"? Like, you're not in the system or...?

SSN and GC are two different things. Some people get their SSN first, others get the GC first. You don't need to have the welcome letter or GC to get your SSN.

You can read all about getting a SSN on the SSA site here: http://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/

my english is kinda broken yes lets say he cant see me in their system bec he wanted to spell my name

if i dont need all those what the heck he told me that i need to contact to uscis and he cant help me!!

Anyways we talked to uscis officer today they gonna send us welcome letter and etc she got my register number and we also updated home adress again..

I will apply for SSN but what if uscis also send me a SSN i dont want to make mess things up i am kinda confused

SSA would have to wait until you are in the SAVE database which is usually by 2 weeks after POE.

Try the SSA office again. If they can't help you then ask for a supervisor and ask them to explain exactly what the problem is and if it's related to the SAVE Database.

it is already has been almost 1.5 months from my poe i arrived june 9

yes i think i m going to do that

thank you!!

my poe was chicago ohare that where i am actually living...

the guy checked my passport and write my name on the screen of his computer so he said u are not issued yet ....

so SSN does not need me to have a welcome letter ? i can apply it only with my passport and an id right?

i will try it

thanks saylin

Don't count on USCIS requesting your SSN.

Just go to the local SSA Office and apply for your SSN.

thats the thing i already went to SSA office and officer told me they cant do anything bec USCIS did not issued it yet or something like that i really no have idea..So even i did not received a welcome letter or Gc can i apply for SSN ?

well finally we talked to another officer of uscis and i will have welcome to usa letter ( i did not even received it)

What reason did the representative (that you met at the SS Office) give you, when he asked to you contact USCIS! Was not the USCIS database updated with the POE information or what!

i have no idea really

USCIS officer even dont know a shiit of it i thought they gonna ask my register number on the passport or my case number so they can check why i did not received SSN or GC and welcome letter come on really whats going on hathey did not ask a thing like that all they said contact www.ssa.gov dang i alredy went to ssa office for it and they forward me to call uscis #######?

i dont know hell what to do i m so frustraeted now ? SSA officer even did not help us what the heck i will do or who gonna help us ?

Hmm, that's weird. I've never heard of that before. Usually, if you don't get the SSN by mail within 3 weeks, then you can simply go to a SSA office and apply there.

USCIS officer even dont know a shiit of it i thought they gonna ask my register number on the passport or my case number so they can check why i did not received SSN or GC and welcome letter come on really whats going on ?

i dont know hell what to do i m so frustraeted now ? SSA officer even did not help us what the heck i will do or who gonna help us ?

It's suggested here on VJ that if within 3 weeks of your POE date that you haven't received your SSN that you go to the local SSA office and apply. It's common that, although checking the correct boxes off on the DS-230, the SSN just won't be assigned unless you go in person to an office. So, if it's been longer than 3 weeks since POE, get your butt to an SSA office and apply pronto.

I went to SSA office but they told me that they did not issued it yet and i need to call USCIS which number i have to call bec i called them and they gave me the number of SSA office dang it i m lost

Well, actually you can.

The stamp you got in your passport at POE is a temporary green card, with all the rights and responsibilities of the real card.

As to SS#, go to the closest SS office tomorrow with your passport, and you will leave in a few minutes with a SS# !!

Couldn't be easier.

I went to the closest SS office with my passport they told me that they did not issued it yet and told me that i need to contact USCIS...

I did contact them but they also gave us the number of SS

I m lost what to do ?

Anyone knows ? please help me which number i have to contact

thanks
