Straya

I was supposed to enter via Honolulu but my flight got cancelled so I was rebooked via San Francisco. Took me a total of about 5 minutes with the customs guy. He was super excited that it was my first entry on my green card. Explained that since we have been married less than 2 years I'd be CR1 and will have to remove conditions within 90 days of my expiration etc. Asked if I have more than 10k cash on me and confirmed the address for my green card to be sent. I had 4.5h layover in SFO and it was way too long. Customs, rechecking my bags and going back through security took at most 45 minutes and the terminal was close so I didn't have far to walk. Overall it was a great experience.

I finally arrived last weekend. Curious to anyone else who has already arrived - how long did your SSN and green card take to arrive if they have already? The officer at customs told me GC can take a year 😳

Interview done and approved. Waiting on passport return in the mail. So excited that this is finally over and we can start our lives together. Congrats all and best of luck.

Do you mean DQ date? My full timeline: PD 13 Jan 2022 AR1 19 Jan 2022 Approved 6 Feb 2023 DQ 5 Apr 2023 Expedite request 11 Apr 2023 Expedite approved 13 Apr 2023 Consulate received 19 Apr 2023 Interview received 1 May 2023 Interview date 12 May 2023 (next week) Hope this helps. Without expedite I would not be getting an interview until October November. Our consulate just keeps going further and further backlogged.

Congrats!!! My interview is 12th May. I can't wait for this to be done 🫶🏼
