1) She has not yet received the new passport so she can use the old last name. In case the new passport is available on her interview date just let her take it with her and explain the situation to the immigration officer. 2) A ITIN is issued by the IRS, the SSN by the Social Security Administration (SSA). So a ITIN doesn't count as a SSN.

Yes, make an appointment at the ssn office. I've checked the ssn box in my application but nothing happened. After a couple of weeks after entering the US, I went to the ssn office and they couldn't find anything about my ssn case. So they started the process. After 2 weeks I went there again and even though the ssn card hasn't been produced yet, the number was already assigned. The lady in the office gave me the number "as an exception" and I was able to open bank accounts, get the drivers license and all the stuff. It's possible that your ssn number is already assinged, so yes, it's worth to go there and ask. Be friendly, humble and tell her that she has beautiful eyes 🙂

This is just a warning. Theoretically, during the process up to the first entry and the final approval of the LPR status at the POE it can still happen that the LPR status is not approved. Then you would no longer have a job.

We did the IR1 process, but that shouldn't matter. We scanned three/four photos on one page, created a PDF file, printed the page, handwrote our comments on it (next to each picture), and sent it along with the other documents to the USCIS. No problems, all successfully accepted.

I can confirm what other posters already said. Because my SSN card arrived late, I went to our local SSA and they were able to give me my SSN. I've got bank accounts, driver license etc. without a pysical card. They only wanted the number. I could even create my accunt at https://www.ssa.gov/myaccount/ The physical card arrived a couple of weeks later.

On the CEAC page you have uploaded AND submitted them, right? 😜

Be aware that the actual green card process will not be initiated until they received the fee.

We've attached it in the "Affidavit Of Support & Finacial Evidence" section under "Additional AOS Supporting Documentation" and it's been accepted (see pictures).

In our IR1 NVC process there was a way to upload "Photographs". Maybe it's a temporary bug, so try it again later or use the "Optional Documents" item. That should be ok too.

So you fill it out for him (he is actually your sponsor and the I-864 is a sponsors document). Under 5.3 "Persons NOT sponsored in this affidavit", I think you don't enter his spouse (you) because in fact he DOES sponser you. But I even believe you (he) has to file the I-864EZ instead of I-864 if he can answer all three question below "yes" Part 1. Qualifying to Use Form I-864EZ 1.a. I am the petitioner of the family member sponsored on this affidavit. 1.b. I am using my own earned or retirement income, which is documented using Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-2. 1.c. The sponsored immigrant is the only person immigrating based on the underlying visa petition. https://www.uscis.gov/i-864ez

I don't understand why you guys are supposed to file the I-864A anyway. If you are able to sponsor your husband than there is no need that another household member additionally has to sponsor your husband. And your husband who is the (foreign) applicant cannot sponsor himself. It must be a person already living in the US (citizen or LPR). Your husband is not yet a LPR nor a citizen. We were in a similar situation but I can't remember that we had to file the I-864A. Only the I864(EZ).

Seems to be OK in some cases. When we've mailed our application, only a few documents have been scanned. Most pages didn't show up on the USCIS documents tab. Nonetheless our case has been approved w/o problems. Maybe they are just too busy to scan all of the stuff.
