Thank you everyone again. I do have some questions

1. When should one pay for the green card production fee of $220 in order to get the green card as soon as possible once entry is made into the USA ? I already see the payment instructions on page 1 of this thread( How to pay the Green Card Production fee of $220 on the Elis system)

2. Is the issue of SSN automatic or one needs to go to the local SSA office to apply for one? I did copy and paste the below insert from page 1 of this thread. 

 

(******************Tips about your getting your SSN******************

If you don't have your SSN card within 21 days of your POE,  go IN PERSON to your local SSA office and see if your  application was forwarded by the Immigration officer.   It only works about 50% of the time when you tick  the box on the DS-260. As soon as you have your SSN you  may work.  Your passport visa and the immigration stamp  is the equivalent of your green card. )

One is expected to pay for the Immigrant fee (Green Card Production)after you get your visa before you leave the country.

Concerning the SSN, using myself as an example. I was told at the point of entry to wait 14working days before contacting the USCIS after contacting them 14days after they (USCIS) told me to wait till its 30days after arrival to book an appointment. Reached out as they have instructed and was booked, registered then got my SSN 6 working days after. Hope that helps

Hi everyone,

I have a question, can someone who already have a tourist visa, has been approved by USCIS, DQ'ed at NVC and is waiting for F2A visa interview letter, travel to the USA ? 

yes you can request entry to the US on a tourist visa while having an application pending

 

Whether you are granted entry is up to the CBP officer as usual, and that applies to all tourists whether they're applying to immigrate or not

Hi All,

I have been MIA for a while, this journey had become too stressful 😐 But I'm happy to let you know that my husbands interview has been scheduled for January 20th at the US Embassy in Jordan. F2A category, named plaintiffs in YoungvTrump lawsuit and therefore not any longer subject to the ban 🙏

With Baghdad embassy closed (my husband is Iraqi), we were re-assigned to Abu Dhabi. However, UAE currently makes it super difficult to enter the country, as visit visas for many countries in that region have been suspended. We requested a transfer to Amman, and thank god (and the Consular Officers at the Embassy) got accepted under the condition that my husband needs to be physically in Jordan first. We arrived in Jordan on 12/26, and after almost 2 weeks of uncertainty and anxious waiting, our case got re-assigned and expedited to post. 5 days later we received IL for 10 days later. We are both exhausted and running out of energy, but hopeful that we can travel home together soon.

Thank you!

Where is your case assigned to currently? Please fill our your timeline that makes it easier for members to see which part of the process you're in.

If your case is at NVC, they will assign you an embassy and (hopefully) one where Iraqi's can travel to. As long as your case is at NVC, you can always request a transfer via NVC inquiry form if the assigned embassy doesn't work for you (you will need to provide proof while it's not working). I will however recommend to not do this, until you have DQ and are ready to be scheduled for an interview. In the current time, embassies open and closed without a long notice, and a transfer takes time so you only want to request it once

Hi! This is an intense process for you and I am in such in awe with your guys' perseverance! It's not easy and I know in Jordan, the lockdowns on Friday make it seem even crazier. You are almost there!! Can't wait to hear news from you soon. Good luck!
