US Immigration from Senegal

Hello,

i submitted a i130 for my spouse two weeks ago. I just saw the fee is pending with my bank. my app was mailed to the lockbox in TX and i paid with a card; not a check. i was just wondering how much longer it will take before i get a receipt number? what does it mean that the fee was charged? does it mean that my app was accepted? could it still get rejected?

Hey Fellow Members

I'm happy to announce that it took me 89 days from applying for Citizenship to get my Oath Certificate.

I have applied with my wife on January 19th 2021 and did the oath today. It took 89 days in total. Thank you all and good luck on your journey

My timeline:

2005: Came to the US as a B2 then tranferred to F1 student

2010: F1 to OPT

2011: F1 to H1B sponsorship (Married to my wife in 2012 and she came to the journey with me. She was a F1 previously)n

2016: H1B to Green Card

2021: Green Card to Citizen

No thread yet?

I am hoping to submit early next week and am looking forward to doing so without the i-944.

Hello,

I am in the process of AOS with my husband who came on a K1 visa. The SSA failed to verify his information in time and he does not have an SSN yet, near the end of his 90 days.

We married and I am trying to add him to my employer provided health insurance. I told them that other people had gotten around the requirement for an SSN on forms by using a "dummy" SSN, but they are insisting that because I work for a government entity and use FEHB, an SSN is in fact required. I found a page on OPM.gov saying that the FEHB is required to report coverage to the IRS and needs the SSN for that, since 2016...

Does anyone know if this is true, or have anything I can send HR stating otherwise?

If not, should I look for a plan for him on the marketplace to satisfy the i944 and move him to my plan once we are able?

I recently filed the I-130 s for both my stephchildren to join my spouse and I here in the US. Previously I filed for my spouse and it required mailing in full packages of documents. This new process was a bit strange just filing the form online and attaching the marriage certs and birth certs. I fee completely deficient with information.

Can any provide any advice or tips. We have been through this process before with my spouse, but just would like to know if we should prepare for anything out of the ordinary.
