5 months? If it pass 120 days then u definitely need to call uscis. In that case they will expedite your greencard . technically you did pay for it after all .

I have filed an inquiry. They told me to wait for 30 days to get a response. 30 days will be completed 2 days after tomorrow but still no response yet. After 30 days, I can make another inquiry and this process will go on like 4ever as USCIS does not care. They just ask you to wait. What is the meaning of normal processing time if I still have to wait...bullshit

they kept telling me to call because they don’t believed that I am representing my wife. So They wanted me to be there with her when calling. They still say “ keep waiting” same old same old. And everytime I called USCIS. Its felt like that 2 hours of waiting for em to pick up  is the time of my life that I will never get back. 🤣

Hello All,

I hope this little message finds you well.

 

A slight improvement.

POE on August 14th -- I called SSA a month after my arrival, so around Sept15th, and the man said that I was not in the system, that I had to call the Department of State. I called both USCIS and NVC, both basically said that it was up to SSA to create me in their system and produce a SS card 😩 The man at USCIS even said that I had to wait for my green card to arrive before asking for a SSN...

And no news on the GC of course.

 

I called again today SSA. At my local office. The man confirmed that I was not in the system (under both my married name and my maiden name).

And then he said "no problem" (!!!!! it is amazing what these 2 simple words together can do to my spirit), you are going to print the form SS-5, mail it to us at your local office with the following documents : copies (C O P I E S) of your passport and your permanent resident card*. We will then get back to you and arrange an appointment with you in person.

I have added a copy of my birth certificate (in French with the certified translation --  that shows I am whom I say I am, and shows also that I am married to a US citizen (we never know, right?).

I also wrote a letter to introduce the whole thing and explain why I could not send a copy of my GC but only a copy of the Visa with the POE stamp.

 

I know this is going to take a while, but still, I think it is an improvement.

I don't see why other offices would not do exactly the same.

 

Take care,

Alix

Thank you.

Let's wait and see. Not there yet!

The 2 other persons I talked too from the same office said different thing. So it's worth re-trying again and again and again...

   If it's your green card, It would begin with "card being process"(about 3-4 weeks) to "card being shipped" (2 weeks) and then "card received". And this information is based on my husband case.

Hello Everyone,

I have juste received my SSN card through the postmail! 🤪

On Sept 24th, I called (one more time) my local SSA office in California, praying for not having the same man on line (who had been so not helpful and negative (he was the one who told me to call Department of State and USCIS) - what a waste of time). Thankfully I had a new person, who was super helpfull and asked me to send copies of my documents (passeport, visa (since I don't have my Green Card yet)) + form SS5. I also add a bill showing that I am living in California and my marriage certificate (I guess, an old reflexe from the Visa process...). 

He told me that once he would receive the docs, I would get a phone call from them to schedule an appointment in person.

But today, I received the card, without having to meet with them in person. I am so happy.

Now, I have to receive the green card... it has been 72 days since I paid for the fees and 2 months after my POE.

I hope you are well, take care.

I called again about two weeks ago for my husband, all they did was give him an appointment for December 14th. They said that the start of New Jersey doesn't allow people to send me documents. So we will have to wait. 

But I'm really happy for you!!!!

Thanks Landy88 ,

It varies a lot from one state to another. And from one phone call to another...

I imagine it is not ideal for your husband to wait until Dec14th, but I hope it's ok (work, driver's licence).

Take care,
