Hello all, what accounts were you all able to add your spouse to without a SSN? I have already tried a few places  but most won't add my husband to any of my accounts because he doesn't have a SSN. We applied for his SSN way before his I94 expired, however the representative who assited us somehow entered all of my husbands information into the system incorrectly, so long story short my husband has to wait to get his SSN after he gets his green card or EAD. Well we have an interview scheduled for early Sept. and I'm freaking out because so far we only have proof of one joint account. We also have the paperwork from the social security administration that shows the date we originally filed for his SSN and other letters concerning this. Anyone have this happen and had an interview already?

It took us a bit to get added to bank accs without an snn. But, we managed to do it easily at Wells Fargo. It took us a bit to get added to his main chase acc however, went to a few branches but then eventually we did. We added me to his chase visa card online as an authorized user without an snn as well.

 

Besides that, private health insurance is easy and can be done without an SNN. You could also try life insurance which can be pretty low a month depending.

Sounds like a good interview to me too. I just got my notice for Sept 24th,  could I ask what you brought with you aside from pictures and health insurance? Did you reprint any of the forms or affidavit, etc?

 

I was thinking to bring all the legal stuff like birth certs, marriage certs, etc along with all the evidence of a bonafide marriage + obviously IDs

I made a new affidavit of support and got a letter from my employer and the last 2 months of paystubs. I also brought a copy of the original AOS/EAD/Travel and copy of the original K1 application. Oh and her SS card and a copy of it, her and my passport, both birth certificates and copies. Basically everything it asked for on the letter for interview.

 

The interviewer asked for none of these though, haha. The only thing he wanted was the further proof as he already had in our file all the documents I had already submitted. But better to be prepared than not 🙂

We had our interview today and I am unsure what to think. It felt like it went well, we answered all the questions and the interviewer was friendly enough but he did not recommend approval. He gave us a paper that said further review was needed, I didn't see him print the document so I think it was already prepared before we came in. He said all our documents are in order and asked if we wanted to submit anything else so we gave him a few pictures and health insurance copy and cell phone bill. We didnt answer anything wrong or say anything off so Im not sure why they would need further review. Hopefully I am just overthinking it and they will approve it soon

Status updated to new card is being produced! 😁😁

When you call ask to be escalated to Tier 2. They will put you on a call back list for later that day if there is availability, best to call first thing in the morning. Expect at least a 2 hour wait for a call back though. If you call too late in the day they will not have 'capacity' to handle your call and ask you to call back earlier the next day.

And to add,  if this is your first call, don't expect an immediate tier 2.  If you are successful,  then you will be luckier than most of us

hi! my husband (petitioner) just got his job terminated and have been looking for a job for a while. I do want to help my husband but I am still waiting for my EAD card. Is this a good reason to file an expedited EAD card for me? Can I show evidence that my husband (petitioner) just got his job terminated hence facing financial hardship?

It seems to be somewhat arbitrary whose expedite requests get approved but I think you would have a decent chance, especially if you can get a job offer to supplement the request.
