US Immigration from Turkey

Hello

the website of embassy announced that visa service has started again but I could not find information related to k1 visa. Has anyone got a interview?

Hello,

I applied to marriage based Green Card & Adjustment of Status (I-130, I-485 & I-765) on March 25th. I am working under OPT extension (expires March 2021) and at this point all I am looking for is for them to issue my EAD so I can keep on working, otherwise it will be a disaster. My case status is still received and my fingerprint fee is received, no other updates after that. My service center is MSC. I m so nervous that I won t be able to get my EAD in time. Do I need biometrics before EAD? OPT did not require biometrics so I don t have a previous one. Can you guys give me a proper timeline when should I expect something to happen? Waiting is killing me and I can t do anything with my life not knowing what is going to happen in 6-7 months. Thank you.

Hi all,

My wife and I got married in Turkey about 6 months ago and we moved to the US with a CR-1 visa. Do we need to register our marriage in the US somehow? or is the fact that we applied for a CR-1 "Spouse of a US citizen" considered enough for the government to know that we are mearried?

Thanks for your help.

I was super annoyed at how the AOS application asks for this particular form of income-proof, but if you couldn't successfully verify your identity through the IRS website, then you were completely out of luck as the IRS mail & phone order systems were dead due to COVID.

I've been checking the IRS Tax Transcript website every day to see when you can order IRS Tax Transcripts (for I-944 purposes...) through a non-online method and sometime in the last 48 hours it all opened up again! There is less info required to order by phone/mail relative to online orders, so if online isn't working for you, then give these methods a shot.

To order by phone, call the automated system at (800) 908-9946. This is super easy and apparently faster than the mail method.

Estimated time to get transcripts is 5 - 10 days

You'll need the following info to do so:

• Your SSN
• The numbers of your most address on file with the IRS (i.e. if I lived at 123 Main St., I'd need to submit "123")
• The tax years you'd like transcripts from

To order by mail, you can hit the "Get Transcript By Mail" button on this website, or fill out and mail in Form 4506-T-EZ to the appropriate IRS office.

Estimated time to get transcript is a few weeks(?)

You'll need the following info for either method:

• Your SSN
• Your most recent address on file with the IRS
• Your date of birth (only for the online method?)
• Your phone number (only for the print out version?)

I already submitted my application w/o transcripts (substituting in other documents instead and including a letter explaining the situation) but ordered all my transcripts over the phone just now in case of a future RFE.

Hope this helps someone stuck in a similar situation!

Hi all,

My husband and I arrived in the US last month. On the DS-260 form, we checked off the box that allowed his information to be forwarded to the Social Security Administration in hopes of just receiving his SSN a few weeks after arrival. This turned out to not be the case, and we were told to mail in an SSN application to our local office, which they have received.

After my husband called last week, he was informed that despite having all his paperwork, the office would not be able to issue a SSN because an in-person interview is necessary, and no interviews are being held at the moment due to COVID-19 restrictions. This is the first time I've ever heard about an interview for a SSN, and I guess I was just wondering if anyone is going through this same issue. Has this always been the case?
