Hello all,

I am need of some info from those of you that entered the US through Pearson International with a CR1 Visa.

When I entered I was sent to another room with my brown envelope in a yellow folder....My husband and I waited in the room until I was called. First I was fingerprinted and then had to wait again. I then noticed that they began processing my paperwork so I approached the officer and asked him if there was a way that I can have my visa processed in my married name instead of my maiden name. He gave me a hard time but in the end he explained to me that he filled out some paperwork and also changed the computer to show that I entered under my married name. (My passport has my maiden name) After all was done he took my ink fingerprint and took a copy of my marriage certificate and circled surnamed changed to .....(my married name) Anyway, when everything was done and over with he stamped my passport and said that if I don't get my greencard in time and I want to travel just ask the POE officer when I re-enter to validate my visa for another 6 months....I said fine and went on my way.

This was on May22nd. I still have received nothing from immigration regarding my greencard, my SSN NOTHING. I haven't even gotten my welcome letter. So I called USCIS. They would not take my call until I was in the US for 30 days or more. I finally called on the 22nd of June and they have no record of my entry into the US. They asked me for my A number and I explained to her that I do not have one. Apparently I was suppose to get my A number in my passport when I entered and now that I have no A number there is nothing I can do to be traced.

They told me that I would have to fill out a form (can't remember the number of the form) to have my greencard traced and that is the only way for me to get my greencard. This form has to be filled out AFTER 60 days in the US....The thing that really upsets me is that they advised me NOT TO TRAVEL. Also, I will not be getting my social until AFTER August if I am luck. Without my social I can not work, I can not apply to school etc...

Any advise or has anyone had this problem in the past. Please let me know...I am at a loss here. I don't know what to do anymore...

thanks for any help...

Again, please e-mail responses to melliemel1179@yahoo.ca
