US Immigration from Canada

After 19 months (applied in Dec 2021 for 485 adjustment of status based on marriage), I just got my approval notice online:

On September 16, 2023, we approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status

For those still waiting, this is after multiple "case is being actively reviewed" which was so frustrating as it had zero actual updates. I did get my combo card back in April/May 2023.

Question: Will I get my SSN when I get my approval in the mail? I ask because I have been using ITIN in the meantime but it is limiting for certain things. I requested to get a SSN during the application process for 485.

Good luck all and I'm rooting for everyone! Drove me insane... I did the paperwork myself too so it would've been extra devastating if I did that and didn't get approved.

Hello,

Hopeful to clear the muddy waters a tad! Filed I130 for my husband , we live in Canada been married for 18 years, on Jan 2 2023.

Should / Can we file the affidavit of support prior to approval of I130? I am stunned that 18yrs of marriage this process isn t smoother/faster BUT! I digress! Lol.

Has anyone done this? Should we do this will it help?

Thanks to anyone who responds with advice!

All of our civil and financial documents were uploaded and showed "Accepted" in CEAC; however, we then received an email saying more was needed/something was missing. We logged into CEAC and saw that it was requesting a copy of my husband's military record and police certificate - which we had already uploaded and were still marked as accepted. We uploaded again just in case the files didn't work.

We also noticed that the previously submitted military record is now titled "Military Records (1st Marriage-Final Divorce Decree)" and aren't sure if that is confusing the system, since that isn't a "document type" you can select...?

Since uploading on 9/7, there hasn't been any changes - and we had been getting steady movement three days in a row. Is this a common issue? Could the system still think something is missing, and still show as having outstanding documents even though they are all there? I've tried the "Ask NVC" but of course won't hear back until sometime next week or so. I'm not really sure where we stand at this point - husband is going to try calling this afternoon (I'm sure we won't get a person, but we have to try). Anyone had this happen and still get the interview letter? Or was it stuck and needed to be looked at by the NVC to get it fixed and moving again?

Hey! I am the beneficiary in my K-1 Visa journey and am helping my fianc e fill out the I-129F, but we are unsure about the proper way to fill out additional addresses and employment history. We want to make sure everything is filled out correctly to avoid any issues. My fianc e (the petitioner) has a total of 3 jobs to list and 3 addresses to list.

My first question is in regard to Part 1, 9a-10b; It states to "Provide your current address first if it is different from your mailing address". Since his current address is the same as his mailing address, we wrote N/A for all spaces except 10a and 10b where we stated the date relating to his current address. I read that this was the accepted way to do it in another forum post on this website, but wanted to double check this was still the case.

Second question is about additional address and employment listing. Since there are only 2 spots for each, and he needs to list 3 for each (address and employment), what is the proper way to do so? Currently for the address portion we have filled out Physical Address 1 with N/A (since it is the same as mailing address), and then in Physical Address 2 we wrote "See Part 8". For the employment part, we filled out his current employer in Employer 1, and then in Employer 2 we filled with N/A and wrote "See Part 8". I've attached screenshots of both page 2 and page 13. On page 13, 5.d. I wrote an example of how we formatted the information.

Any help is appreciated!
