We paid my wife's green card fees online. I didn't see a drop down menu anywhere either. https://www.uscis.gov/file-online

I just clicked on log in, then click on the blue circle that says pay immigrant fee.

Thanks Verwen!  Finally, got it paid after calling the USCIS customer service.  So there is no need to create an account anymore.  All is well.      

Our Family 

Joshua, a music lover, and Tennessee born guy met Lady Lyn, a Filipina in an online Yahoo Christian Chat while both of them were praising God in a different way.  The latter was bullied by some chatters, and courageous Joshua rescued her like a damsel in distress, that was where a new chapter of life begun with the two of them. Their marriage is blessed in many forms including of rewarding them with a beautiful and joyful baby girl named Abigail Exodus Haltom which named perfectly represents their love and life story as a family.

I think the instructions they give you with the visa packet is outdated. Be nice if they would update it for future people. We got to the US the other day, so glad to be back. Think my wife and stepson already like it better than the Philippines.

First thing first, I thank God for Visa Journey & Admin and the whole support group for restoring our profile and account.  Our IP address got blocked but the good thing we haltom family are back.  Yey!!! Congratulations sergiojax, weeehhh! In our experience, we received the green card two weeks from the time we paid it only and a week from the time of your green card payment, the social security card was delivered to the address we provided at the immigration.  This is what we experienced.  Not sure though with the social security card for your spouse if they will send it via courier or if she needs to apply at social security office. 

 

The reason why I said this because I got my first social security card through fiancee visa after applying at the social security office near the county. 

 

So, let me know if this helps and yes green card will come soon.  Hope this helps and update us :) God bless.

So guys, I believe most of us who underwent the DCF processing for the month of February on wards are already migrated in USA. My questions are, so how are you all coping up & being supportive with your spouses:

 

1. Social Security ID? 

2. Green Card?

3. Learner's Permit/ Drivers License? Driving

4. Job hunting for spouses? Or with Jobs

5. Cultural change and the struggle for significance? 

6. Meeting Filipino Friends?

My wife already got her social security and green card. Got here September 7th. She's too scared to learn how to drive. We both work at the same place, started a couple days after she got here. She doesn't seem to have any problems with culture change, but where we live in Arkansas it's pretty laid back and relaxed. How are you doing?

Verwen!  Great to know your family are adjusting well.   The family is taking life a-day-at-a-time.   Tennessee is our state, so we are close  neighbors. (Y)

Thank you so much for your reply,  I guess we didn't register our marriage to Philippine consulate, because our marriage was not at the NSO when I got my CENOMAR today. It says I didn't have a record of being married. I only have our marriage certificate with me and the CFO certificate I had back in 2008. I made a mistake of renewing my passport with my maiden name a year ago, and it still valid right now, though I think I will follow your suggestion to have it change before we file the I-130 to avoid more delay.

 

Thank you so much for everything, and let's continue praying for each other. God bless!

Hi lilpinay, doing some random check with people in this forum.  Are you all done with your DCF paper works?
