ok - so you have the 'kiss of death' - the DHS Verification Process.

Congratuations ! [or apologies]

- For K-1 visa holders -

Usually if have a problem, learn on next day after applying,

and usually learn it's:

1. oopsies - applied in married name or

2. oopsies - visa name and SAVE database record for name are 'off' , some misspelling or

3. oopsies - A# is off, compared to what's in VISA versus SAVE database.

for 2 and 3 - can fix at local CBP office, then re-apply in a week at SSA office. Any one of these will trigger a DHS Verification process, and for a K-1 visa holder, no one has the luxury to wait about it, SSA usually flips the application to 'closed' because of the I-94 already expiring.

But for 1? man - that's just wrong. Please, no one, none of you gentle readers, do that.

What? !!!! Have no idea what you are talking about.

What do you exactly mean by "kiss of death"? They said nothing wrong with my application, it's just a bit slow. And that's it.

What do you apologize for ? How come? Do you mean I should apologize ? I'm sorry, but i found your words are very confusing. Could you ELI5?

Call them again friday

OK, just make sure everything is alright.

OK, Thank you.

I have that feeling you are being unfriendly to me. Tell me if I'm wrong.

I do appreciate your advice seriously. And I respect your opinions on this, you might be a expert.

But you don't need to be mad at me simply because i didn't do what you told me to. I chose what i think it's best for me.

You might right about this, but I have nothing wrong if I chose a different approach.

I'm gonna just assume you are having a bad mood or whatever reason it is.

[Darnell 8,478]

my bad mood comes about from folk who chase a SSN, getting a case of 'tempus fugit' and never going back the next day, after applying.

Seriously, DHS Verification label is the kiss of death, for a K-1 visa holder (are you one?) if any SSA clerk uses that label in a sentence to you.

It will delay the SS-5 - usually to a point circa 110 to 145 days past the POE. Who wants that ? really, who ?

Thanks for your advice again.

I'm not k-1 visa holder. And i didn't change my name after marriage either.

It has a reference # on the letter, which they gave it to me after i applied SSN. I told the officer the #, they said that DHS accept it, it might take 2 weeks before i actually get the card. That is what exactly they told me over the phone.

Wooow... I just got SSN card, and it does take 4 Weeks somehow.

But anyway I got it. I guess sometime I just need to be patient.
