I was told that tourist visa applicants from some countries are heavily scrutinize by US .  Don't underestimate the US immigration . They are not stupid and they may have seen all sorts of ways people try to enter US.  Some of those applying for tourist visa to US want to enter US on the pretense that they are just visiting but plan on staying.    They check if you are a high risk of  you not returning to your country after end of your visit.  They may check if you have investments, family, job, etc.

Now with the Trump administration's tough policy on immigration, you don't want to be dishonest and risk of getting denied visa or your greencard being revoked if they find out you try to deceive them.  Honesty is the best policy.   Now they are even trying to de-naturalize naturalized US citizens and deny your application if they find errors on your application without giving you a chance to correct it.  It is a scare time for all those applying for immigrant and non-immigrant visas.

Exactly this!  Honesty is the only way to go.  The immigration people are not stupid, no matter what you think of the government.  They do this stuff day in and day out, and they have probably seen everything.  Just be truthful in everything, and be patient.  They may be slower than what we would like, but in the end, the cases get done.

Hi!

 

How long does it take to get the actual EAD card once you receive the approval notice? I got the letters 12 days ago for my work and travel permit.

After 168 days I got my first update on my travel and work permit. It says my name has been updated. Did a little digging and it seems that it's good news and the next update should be that the card is being issued. I've been so relaxed throughout this part of the process and not bothered checking the app everyday, I think it's done my sanity wonders compared to what I was like during the K1 lol. Anyways that was my little update 😊

I got a letter from USCIS yesterday, my Green Card appointment is scheduled for next month!! My field office is Portland, Oregon. I can’t believe it’s happening, I didn’t expect any of that to happen «  so soon » even though the wait has been killing me every day!

EAD being delivered today and surprisingly, I see a letter from Social Security being delivered as well!!! I thought would have to wait about a week or so for SSN card. 

Our EAD has been mailed as well.  Just curious, when you track it does it say it is coming from USCIS?  I have several packages showing up in my informed delivery and trying to see if that is one of them....
