    You should have been able to get an SSN when you entered. I got my SSN the first month after I entered and then when I got my GC, I just got the same number but without the employment restriction. I was stumped on the foreign bank account question but we were advised that if I had spent more time in the US than the UK in 2024, I didn't have to declare any foreign accounts and it most definitely didn't have the amount of $10,000 in the 5 months I spent in the UK before I moved here haha. I only have one and it doesn't have any money in it anyways lol I am still job searching so my husband still filed jointly but put me down as unemployed (which is true) it was pretty simple and the return was accepted.

    I checked and it said anything amounting over $10,000 needs to be declared. I haven't had that amount in my bank account the entirety of 2024.

    I don't have any assets outside the US. I do still have my UK bank account but it is empty. I have kept it just incase we ever return to the UK.

    I was unemployed the entire tax season, even before I moved here so I haven't earned anything. We just decided to file jointly. Thank you for your advice

    Hi everybody. Me and my husband are a little confused and are seeking clarification when filing taxes. I got my permanent residency December 2024. The form has asked him if I was both a non-resident and resident in 2024. I would assume we would still file jointly as we're still married and I still received my permanent residency before the end of the tax year. However, we don't want to make any mistakes as we're obviously dealing with the IRS and we don't want USCIS to think we're in a sham marriage because we haven't filed jointly. Am I right in understanding that even though I got my GC in December, we can still file jointly? Thanks!

    So I had a letter from my GP detailing my mental health history, medications etc. It's very important your GP writes the words "not a risk to themselves or others" I had another from a psychologist. I opted to get a mental health evaluation despite not having issues for 6 years just to have that extra proof of mental stability. She also wrote I was not a threat to myself or others. I've spoken with people who have recently had their medical done in Knightsbridge and apparently a lot of them aren't even requesting letters anymore unless self-harm was involved. Seems a waste for me to have done all that extra peddle work when I think about it! Don't worry about it too much. None of my issues from the medical have ever been brought up lol. If her issues are current or in the last 12 months, be prepared for more scrutiny and probably a lot more documentation required. Good Luck!

    Update: I had my interview on the 18th of December. It was about 10 minutes long. He was originally quite stern and then as soon as we sat down, his mood shifted and was laughing along with us. He asked me probably 6-7 of the questions from the I-485, we did some corrections and then he just asked me and my husband some questions about our marriage. I did read everywhere that they separate couples in Louisville but we weren't separated. He said it was the easiest, quickest approval of the day. I was on cloud nine walking out of the building. I got my official approval the day after and my new SS has been delivered too. If anyone comes across this and has an interview coming up, please don't be worried. I still don't know why I was called in for an interview but I'm glad I got one in the end. Happy Holidays!!

    I'm not sure honestly. It could just be a completely random pick. I've read a lot of people over the last 3-4 years who have had an interview and it has relaxed me a lot to read them. Thank you so much! I'm manifesting positive things for the both of us and an approval for you soon!

    That is so strange, definitely something that could've been dealt with over an RFE. We did move just after the application, they do have my new address but it isn't updated on the I-485. I do want to make a couple of corrections to the form at the interview so I suppose I should be grateful that we've received one. It is more than likely sitting in a pile waiting for the officer to get to it. I would keep pestering them or contact your congressman. I hope you hear from them soon!

    USCIS will always work in the most mysterious of ways. Thank you so much!

    I didn’t expect to hear back so quickly from them. I had my biometrics October 4th and it moved straight to “Interview Scheduled” on October 31st 😅
  23. RetroPeach12
    Thank you for your response! I was scraping my brain thinking of any possible avenue I could’ve got an interview for and I kept coming up blank 😅

    I’m feeling pretty deflated at the moment. I filed September 2024, received notification at the end of October that I have an interview scheduled for the 18th of December. I’m not worried completely as I know I have a legit marriage and documentation proves that but I just wanted to ask if people are still getting interviews in 2024? I feel like all I really see are interview waivers and it’s disheartening. My FO is Louisville, KY. The K1 is my only interaction with USCIS, no criminal history, first marriage etc
  25. RetroPeach12
    Sorry for the late response! I opted to get one just for peace of mind (I think I went overboard given I only had one mention of mental health on my summary) I just contacted a psychologist in my area, paid £350 for an evaluation and she wrote me a letter. Although I will add, I spoke to another friend in the UK who just went through her medical for her K1 visa and her doctor said she only requests a letter if self harm has been involved, so I’m not sure

    I only went with one Hep B dose and I was signed off. When you see “issued” on your CEAC, that’s the only true sign of approval. They have to run you through their system after the visa interview to check you don’t come up on any databases. If you’re a clean citizen, it’ll be a fast check. They give you a guideline of 7-14 days to receive your passport. I assume if anything comes up whilst they’re reviewing your packet, they can place you into AP. I never experienced this so I don’t know how long it can last. I received my passport, along with my immigration file in a big brown envelope to surrender at POE a day after I saw the “issued” status. It took 4 working days for me to receive it back. 6 altogether because we had a weekend included.
