US Immigration from Germany

I submitted my K3 application months ago on behalf of my husband. I received a notice of receipt from USCIS shortly thereafter, which contained an error: My birthdate was incorrect. I checked my submission, and I filled it out correctly on my submission.

1. I opened up a ticket via "Correct a Typographical Error" in the portal and was given a ticket number with an estimated waiting time of 3 weeks. Three weeks comes and goes, no action. I wrote the USCIS chat and they told me to wait another week.

2. No action after a week. I wrote them again, and then I was issued a second ticket number and an additional month of wait time, zero action.

3. I inquired again now that a month has passed, and they told me to open up a new ticket via the portal. No answer on what happened with the last two.

I'm starting to get really frustrated. Am I going about this the wrong way? It would take an individual 10 seconds to adjust the error, and here I am waiting 2.5 months. Thanks for any insight.

Hey there helpful community,

I need advice or suggestions:

Here is my our story in short.

Filed K1, approved, moved to the US, got married, got my 2 yrs. green card.

4 months before my green card expired I moved back home and my wife and I went back to long distance for personal reasons.

I send my green card back in with the right form, explaining the situation (and that I won't be able to spend 181 days in the US) and that we would continue our journey in about 2-3 yrs.

I dient know about the re-entry permit, so didn't ask for it.

Now I applied for ESTA to see her, but got denied. My status hasn't changed yet? How long does it take in general?

And now I am worried that we won't be able to apply for an IR1 in 1,5/2 yrs.

Any suggestions/advice?

What would be best for us?

Thanks in advance.

Hello All,

Need help. To be able for me to get a SSN Number for non-work reason, I applied for the Form SS-5 UF at the Social Security Administration in Tullahoma, TN. I needed that SSN number in order to apply for drivers license, open a bank account and submit my husbands income tax submission to IRS to be able to get his refund for 2021. Again, the accountant needed a SSN Number.

The Social Security office in Tullahoma was ready to give me the SSN. Number until she noticed that my K1 Visa is expiring in 3 days at the time I got that appointment. She said the processing will take them 2 weeks and I would need a valid Visa. I have a K1 visa that expired in May 15th.

How do I get a SSN Number with this issue? Is there any other option available for me to get a SSN Number for non work reason?

Thank you.

Hi guys,

I have been pondering a few questions I got during my AOS interview last year and would like to know if you guys have any suggestions what they were aiming at. I didn't want to post in the AOS thread out of fear of worrying someone who is about to head to their interview and is looking for advice there. I'm sure these questions were very specific to my case and not something other people would get, so I didn't want to cause anyone to freak out. In any case, I got approved so I should just forget about it but I somehow can't.

We had a fairly normal AOS interview judging by what others have posted on VJ, but when it came to my previous work experience and the organizations I am a member of I felt like the officer was fishing for something specific and it got confusing. I have worked in my profession (veterinary medicine) in three different EU countries (Germany, France, Spain) over the past 10+ years, which is easy to do since my degree is recognized throughout the EU, and EU citizens have the right to live and work wherever within the EU without needing a visa or work permit. I'm also member of several professional organizations in my field. During the interview the officer asked me if I had worked in Belgium, which was random but I guessed maybe he had connections there or had visited or something. I told him I had not worked in Belgium and we moved on. But a bit later he circled back, this time asking me if I had never worked in Brussles, to which I again said I had not but was getting a bit worried now. The next question came when he looked over the organizations I had listed and he asked me if I had worked for one of them. I confusedly told him I was member of a committee in a different organization, but I never held an actual job in any of these organizations. There were a few more questions I can't recall now, and then the officer moved on. After the interview when I mulled it over it struck me that the organization he had specifically asked me about is a Europe-wide professional organization and probably involved in some lobbying work to represent our profession, and that several EU governing bodies have their seat in Brussles. So my best guess is that he was trying to figure out if I had done any lobbying work? I guess what I just can't get over is this: If I indeed had had a job lobbying the European Parliament at the behest of a veterinary association, why would that have been of concern in my AOS interview in the US? Could they have rejected me for having had a past job in lobbying? Or maybe someone has a different idea what these questions may have been aimed at?

Another thing that just kind of rubbed me the wrong way happened at the end of the interview. He told me the evidence we had brought with us was sufficient for the conditional greencard, but for ROC we would need to show a lot more. I half jokingly replied that we had not planned on buying another house and were hoping the cars we had purchased would last us a few years at least, so what in the world kind of "a lot more" evidence could possibly be expected? To my shock the reply was something to the effect of not to worry, if I was pregnant by the time the ROC interview came around we shouldn't have any problems. I don't even remember how I responded to that one, but I truly find it shocking that an immigration official suggested I have a baby to bolster my immigration case. Is this something that has happened to others here?

Sorry for the long winded post. Just some things I have been quietly mulling over for a while, and I would love to get some input!
