Green card production after ELIS

[GF1804 12]

My husband did pre-clearance at Dublin as well. How was your experience there? We thought it would be a great time saver and generally less stressful than going through POE in Boston, but the mistakes they made entering his info into the system in Dublin have set us back weeks. I'll definitely be in touch if we get any movement. I'm checking daily at this point and hoping we move to optimized soon

Thanks for the response.

Dublin was great, fast and non event really in hindsight glad we entered there.

Question? How do you know that Dublin made errors entering info into the system? I have sent a digital enquiry request to the ELIS site asking for info on why I'm approved but no movement as yet. Got a holding response saying they had passed my enquiry to the Texas service centre.

Just interested to know how you know your husband's data was incorrectly entered?

Stay in touch looks like a frustrating time all round...:0)

His social security card didn't arrive in the mail as requested, so we went in person to an office to apply. When we got to the office they told us his name was entered incorrectly into the DHS system -- instead of his first name and two middle names, all three were entered as a first name. The social security card can't be issued like that, so we went to CBP Deferred Inspection to fix the name, and they told him there that the computer also had him down as having a K1 visa, although he has the correct CR1 visa in his passport. It's a mess. We've been trying to get everything fixed and hopefully we'll have better luck when we try at the social security office again tomorrow.

Sorry to hear that. I didn't wait for my SSN in my first week here I went to my local SS Office and they issued my card a week later. Luckily my info was entered correctly.

I'll keep n touch and let you know how the GC process/delivery goes.

Keep fighting, won't be long.

Frequently names are entered incorrectly. I wonder if it's a entry error or a computer error.

I believe it's a computer error. A very helpful woman at CBP told me that they don't have a separate field in their system for middle names. Whatever software they use simply interprets the first word in a given name field as the first name, and anything subsequent to be middle name(s). Software used by the Social Security Administration at the very least doesn't seem to work in the same way -- my guess is that it's expecting separate data fields for first and middle names, metadata tags or similar to differentiate the names that CBP just doesn't use. The fix for us was to have CBP remove his middle names from the system, so all SSA should see is one given name and one surname. Hopefully it worked... we should know tomorrow.

My Green card was mailed yesterday and I was provided with the tracking number. The ELIS says closed with Green card produced. I hope I receive the card tomorrow without any errors....:-)

I had to go to the dept of revenue in CO to have them fix my SAVE db when I tried to get a driver's license. SSN was fine, green card was fine, but there was an issue that prevented me from getting my licence.
