US Immigration from Vietnam

When I was in the US under F1 visa, I got a SSN through OPT. After that I moved back to my hometown. Now I m back in the US under K1 Visa and we re already got married and filed for AOS. I read online that SSN don t expire so my question is do I need to apply for a new SSN or I can just use the current one that I have?

Like you all, I've been waiting. My AOS interview date (3/31) was cancelled. I popped into the USCIS public webinar on the 18th to see if they have any updates (it's better to hear from the official source, right?). Like what I expected, they provided some useful information, but not much earth-shattering news. They also ended access to the webinar like 2 seconds after it ends :<

Basically they go in great details to explain how to enter the facility (mask, health questionnaires, follow the signs, etc). But we know that already. Bellow are a couple things I think particularly applicable to me, and you:

• Since reopening, USCIS' top priority was naturalization ceremonies, then naturalization interviews and AOS interviews. They explain that since these ceremonies are shorter, safer for people involved, and obviously they can arrange for a bunch of people at a time, this is what they will concentrate on resolving the backlog first. They anticipate to be done with the majority of naturalization ceremonies backlog by the end of July before turning priority to interviews.

• They will most likely maintain 50% of the interview capacity per day to allow clean-up, distancing.

• ASC are expected to reopen around July 13, depending on local health orders.

• For cancelled interview: cases cancelled will be rescheduled first (Generally!!). Tbh I think it very much depends on the CO working on your case. A source on Reddit (a representative is having 3 clients with their new AOS interview - although they are all first time scheduled appointment, so that's just adding insult to injury.

Overall, I really hope there're rescheduled interviews coming our way. It will, just have to wait more. From what I can see on our platform regarding new event dates, USCIS is prioritizing: Naturalization ceremonies, then naturalization interviews, then AOS interviews. Hope this help you all.

I'm currently in the US under K1 visa. The status for my case is "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview" but it's been 37 days since the status changed but I haven't received anything from them in the mail. So I'm wondering if what should I expect next. I'm in need of the I-797 in order to apply for a driver license in Florida.

Also, my only form of ID right now is my Vietnamese passport and nothing else, so I cannot open a joint bank account with my husband, nor he can add me to any of our bills because I don't have a valid ID. The only thing that we have together is our Lease. I'm afraid this will affect me during the interview due to lack of proof. So I'm not sure what to do in this case.

Hi everyone,

I filed I-130 application. I checked my USCIS profile today and noticed two issues with my profile. First, I am naturalized US citizen and my profile still show my old green card number. Second, for the part line "Country of citizenship", it just show "-". Is anyone of you having something like mine? Or your profile are stated correctly to who you are currently.

Thank you in advance!

Hello everyone,

One of my siblings is being sponsored by my mother under F2B category but my mother became a USC so the case was converted to F1 and got approved by USCIS. The case is transferred to NVC.

The priority date is 03/26/2016. Right now F2B processing time is so much faster so we want to ask for F2B retention, will that affect the approval under F1 Category? TIA
