US Immigration from Italy

I was reading a lot about the SSN in this forum so I want to share my experience.

Entered the US: September 8

Called SSA for an appointment: September 10

Married: September 14 (no name change)

SSA appointment (Orlando): September 29

1st letter from SSA: October 3 (saying they were verifying my status and will let me know in written if it will not be confirmed by USCIS)

Save status changed to "case return to agency": October 14

2nd letter from SSA: October 20 (saying that my status was verified and I will receive my SSN in 2 weeks)

SSN RECEIVED IN THE MAIL: October 28

it took 4 weeks from the appointment.

I m currently experiencing delays with my SSN, which I need badly to do several stuff.
My EAD/AP was approved the first week of October, however I have not received my SSN yet.

I called the local SSA office nearby our home address and they said they have no records of my information being submitted to them. I then contacted USCIS, they were not very helpful, but one representative said they did not see my SSN was requested.

As I need my SSN as soon as possible, and my husband and I are currently not in the state where our residence is due to a temporary work assignment, I was wondering if I could go to an office close to where I am now and ask them to send the SSN to our residence (I would have a trusted person send me the number)?

Before calling to book an appointment I wanted to see if this is possible. I have all the documents needed for the SSN application here with me, including the EAD/AP.

Thank you very much!

Hi guys.

I just started filing online the N400, at the point where my address was asked, it was also noted that I will need to wait 3 months before applying for naturalization once I change my address. Now, I moved at the end of January 2020 from NYC to LA, right before the pandemic, I have never thought to notify the USCIS of my new address in CA, but I have obtained a CA driver license last year, and filed my taxes here in CA. Wouldn't the USCIS know by now my new address? Because the current insanity is going on now days, I'm afraid something will change soon, and I want to start the process soon here in LA. However, work may take me in another state at the beginning of next year. Would you guys just update USCIS of my new address now, or just wait when/if I move to another state next year?

thank you

I hope someone will be able to advice me in regards to this.

My husband and I filed my AOS application with a lawyer through the military assistance program.

Many months after filing, and after having obtained my EAD/AP card, the lawyer sent me a copy of the AOS to start preparing for a possible interview that may be scheduled soon.

After he sent me the AOS copy I started reviewing the documents, and in the I-485 I noticed two inaccuracies. I told my lawyer and he said that I could correct them during the interview, as there isn t really a way to do it now.

The two inaccuracies regard the place of marriage (which was correct in the other forms and on the marriage certificate as well) and finally an answer to a question. It was checked as no , but it was yes . Even in this case, the supportive documents sent actually proved the fact that it was a yes .

The lawyer told me these inaccuracies are not material facts, as none of them actually affect my eligibility. And as I mentioned, the correct information was clear in the supportive documents.

However I m worried this could cause issues. We have not received any RFE and my interview is ready to be scheduled and has been for a while. Should I send a letter explaining these two errors? Or should I prepare a statement for when I ll have my interview?

I would really want to correct these errors as soon as possible, as I don t want USCIS to think this was intentional. It really was not, and it s evident by looking at the supportive documentation. I don t know what to do.

Also, is it a problem if someone makes a mistake (or their lawyer does) in the form and then corrects it during the interview?

Thank you very much!

Hello, my husband is having issues retrieving his tax transcript.
Basically IRS didn t update his address in their system and therefore he can t access his online account. We sent a mail request for it but we had zero answers yet.

His tax transcript might not even be ready anyways cause this year he has to mail in his taxes and hasn t received any response from IRS about those either.

NVC website writes If you completed Form I-864, I-864A, or I-864EZ submit an IRS tax transcript from the most recent tax year, which NVC can process more efficiently than a copy of a tax return. Alternatively, you may submit a complete copy of a filed tax return from the most recent tax year.

We were thinking of submitting his tax returns + W2 copies instead of a tax transcript and write a note about what is going on with IRS and try to bring the transcript at the interview. Is there anybody in this group being successful in doing so? We don t have a joint sponsor so it won t get confusing for NVC to review it.

Thank you very much.
