Had biometrics for EAD last Oct 22 and they ordered card production for my EAD last November 20. I had biometrics last Nov 12 for my green card and still waiting for it till now when did you guys receive your green card after biometrics?? I am on k2 and my mom already receive her green card last year. I am still waiting for mine

Thanks guys. I got my social security card already without an i94

You use the I-94 along with the K-1 visa to get the SSN when you arrive on the K-1 visa. Once you have either the EAD or GC you are a LPR in the US and are thus eligible for a SSN. A K-1 visaholder is a legal alien allowed to work so they can apply for a SSN. The SSA would love to remove this from the laws and only issue SSNs to people with the EAD or GC. A K-2 visaholder has to wait for the EAD or GC in order to get a SSN so you do not need to I-94 for anything now. Go to the SSA, complete the SS-5 form, show your EAD card and passport and you should receive your SSN--some SSA employees are a bit think when it comes to things out of the ordinary.

Good luck,

Dave

Alright thank you so much

Your i-94 is most likely expired anyway. EAD will serve as document proving your legal status in Us.

Yup alright thank you

Me? No.

Oh okay but how sure is this tho? And do you have an idea why i couldnt find my i94 now? Im pretty sure ive downloaded one before

with EAD in hand, the I-94 is not needed, at the SSA office.

Cool. Thank you. Have you gotten one before without the i94

So i already have my EAD card and i am ready to apply for my SSN. When i was researching documents to bring for applying SSN, i noticed that i have to print out an i94 again but when i tried to download it, it just says "not found". I have no idea why because im very sure that i have downloaded one from the website before. Did they delete my record not that i have my EAD card? Do i need to have i94 to apply for SSN? I came her on k2 visa. Im confused as to why i couldnt find it now

Anybody here know how long will i wait?

You sent in your EAD application (I-765) three months ago along with your I-485 AOS application? If so, you should be getting some results soon. As indicated in the VJ Guides, EAD and AP processing generally occur within 90 days of application filing. The USCIS expedite criteria are here, see if you qualify: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=16a6b1be1ce85210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=db029c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD. That your mother has her green card is good, since your K-2 derivative status is dependent on her status (AOS approval). Though, your AOS application must also go through the same adjudication process. Here are some good K-2 AOS tips, from the Guides (available at the top of the forum page), you can review while you are waiting: http://www.visajourney.com/content/k2-visa-adjustment-of-status-tips.

While you are waiting, you could do a couple of things: It helps everyone that uses the forum. Additionally, your profile information indicates you filed for a "K-3" visa. Is that correct?

In case you are not aware, this whole process is a waiting game. some folks wait years to get their loved ones a visa. can drive you crazy!

Good luck.

No my mom just sent it in the mail yesterday. I am k2 i just didnt know how to change it lol. Thanks for this

I came here in a K2 visa (follow to join) my mom has her green card already. My question is how long will i have to wait to get my EAD? I have been sittin at home for 3 months already and got nothing to do -____- Will it take only a short period of time considering the fact that my mom already has her green card. And if not, can i do something about expiditing my EAD?

Yes, but you need to do it prior to your 21 birthday.

Special Considerations When Seeking Adjustment of Status as a K-2

The Section 101(b)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act defines a "child" as "an unmarried person under twenty-one years of age." Generally, a K-2 can seek adjustment of status as the minor child of a K-1. Therefore, if the K-2 adjusts status based on the K-1's adjustment, then the K-2 can only adjust status prior to his or her 21st birthday. Several recent developments may impact a K-2s ability to seek adjustment beyond the age of 21.

If you should attain the age of 21 years while your Form I-485 is pending, you may be covered under the Child Status Protection Act of 2002 (CSPA) (see information below).

This thread should be moved over to the AOS family based forum.

But what about my i-94? If i send an expired i-94 along with the other required papers, will they still approve even if its expired?

I came here on k2 visa and my i-94 is about to expire. We are kinda financially down right now so I want to know if can i still file my Adjustment Of Status if my i-94 is expires? My mom has her green card already. Im kinda worried

Hey guys im just gonna update this. I got the error fixed. My mom called the cbp deferred inspection and they set an appointment for us, we went there and they fixed it in their system. There. Pretty fast.

It says "Country of issuance", right? Then it's Philippines. It doesn't make sense to put France.

Alright. Thank you! So my only problem now is the "visa type" error. Where they put "k1" in my i94 when it should be "k2"

are you certain yer looking at CBP and NOT USCIS ?

Yes, its for certain because i just need it to be corrected. Thats just it. I've read it in this site http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/

she's going to use a telephone? really? OK !

Yes. It says on the website that you have to set an appointment first before you go to the office

Yeah if it is a Philippines passport, I'd just leave it alone. But get that K-3 designation changed.

Oh okay. Thanks. Mom will call the CBP local office on Monday. I'll update you guys what happens next

But it was issued by the Philippines Embassy in France, right? Because France government can't make Phillipines passports... So I don't think there's a mistake there. It's the same thing as what charmingangel explained.

The country who issued the passport is Philippines, even if it was "delivered" in France. It doesn't matter where it was delivered, but by who. The country who issued her passport is Philippines...

Yes it was issued in the Philippine embassy in France. But it says there "where the passport was issued" so i guess its France? im just not so sure, im considering what you just said though. Now im confused lol

any news? you and Moms make it into a CBP office yesterday?

Nope, not yet. Everyone's too busy with work but she will call the local CBP office on Monday

Is your sister carrying a Philippine Passport or French Passport? If it still the former then Philippines is still the issuing country. My renewed passport was issued by the Philippine Embassy in Singapore so the issuing country is still Philippines and not Singapore.

It's a Philippines passport but it was issued in France

As in country?

Yup, as in country. My sister's passport was issued in France but they put it Philippines same with mine.

I would call them and see if you can have it corrected. They can confirm with the embassy the correct visa. I'm not sure what you mean by "passport issuance wrong".

Okay I will. Thank you so much. Big help. And "passport issuance" is where your passport was issued

you two should go

in person

to a CBP office.

bring yer passports.

a supervisor can find out what the problem is, and fix it.

Must to go in person.

There are different types of CBP offices, each type can fix you.

You should study the locations of CBP offices, find the one closest to you.

IMO, trying to fix 'by phone' never works.

No appointment needed, no queues, no lines, no waiting - JUST GO.

Alright. Thank you so much!! I'll tell my mom as soon as she wakes up tomorrow. I was really worried about this. Thank you

Check and make sure you are entering the correct format, US uses mm/dd/yyyy. If you change up the info all kinds of ways and never can retrieve info, then contact a CBP deferred inspection office and check to make sure your information was entered into the system correctly. http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/toolbox/contacts/deferred_inspection/

so I tried mixing everything and I found our i94s. only problem is they got my visa wrong. they got my "class of admission' wrong, it says there K-1 when I am in a K-2 visa.

and also they got my sister's passport issuance wrong. Will these things matter when I get SSN and have to process my AOS? Do I have to call CBP?

get to a CBP office and ask the supervisor to review your arrival record in the SAVE db.

This. Do it while on the phone and the I-94 field screen before you, so you can be sure you are entering every line correctly as on their record. It's likely one field is not being entered exactly as they have it.

Hello everyone! I really need help. Me and my sister entered the U.S last June 26, 2013 via K2 visa and our POE was Detroit. We weren't issued i94 because they are automated now. It's been 3 WEEKS already since we got here and I still can't access or print it out from the website because it still says "Not Found". I tried putting my 2 last names already (as some lady says), and switching my names but it still won't show up ((((( PLS HELP. We need it for our SSN.
