    Its likely a difference between state laws.

    Our lawyer told us that doesn't matter. What matters is US/Alabama law, and the law here states permission from the father must be attempted, even if the mother has complete sole custody and the father has 0 rights to the child.

    Our lawyer said we have to essentially put an ad in the local newspaper both here and in my wife's home city that states we are looking for the father to get permission from him. If no response within a certain time frame (which is practically 0% of a response), then we can show we made an attempt to contact the father, and show he isn't present. It makes it a little complicated, but its possible. The entire process should take less than 6 months.

    The laws vary by state. If you don't have, or don't think you can acquire, an affidavit from the father, then you will have to have a lawyer. We're actually going to speak to a lawyer on friday about this since my step daughter's father was never present. I can let you know what our lawyer says on friday. We're in Alabama, fyi. It will be a little different in other states.

    My wife got her SSN before her green card in the mail, which surprised us. The social security website says it can take up to 3 weeks, so, yea, I'd make an appointment at the office if its been over 3 weeks.

    I submitted it again this morning and it was accepted I made no changes, just waited ~24 hours before resubmitting.
  16. PokuPoku
    Tried it. It requires having a drivers license or state ID to make an account, neither of which she has.

    It takes just a few weeks for a lot of people, but i've seen people say it takes them 3 months.

    My wife just got her green card approved recently and her SSN came in the mail yesterday, with the issue date being Feb 6th (just over a week ago). I filled our taxes but it was rejected due to her SSN. Could it be because the government's systems haven't updated with her SSN? If so, how long should I wait? Maybe try submitting again? I have to submit my tax return asap due for a variety of reasons.

    Just got the notice of the green card being shipped to our address ❤️
  28. PokuPoku
    weird. Ours didn't, even though it was 2 days before your interview. Status is still "interview scheduled". Why is our case always delayed? 😔

    I posted in the other thread. basically the same as yours, but probably even shorter. We went to eat at a vegan place afterwards which was good. We explored Montgomery and took some photos.
  32. PokuPoku
    Happened to us. Green card was approved before the work authorization was. Waste of money.

    Interview was today and.. well that was easy. We go in, he asks us "is your name..." "Is your address still..." and a few other questions confirming details on the application hasn't changed. My wife and daughter signed a piece of paper, and he asks "do you have any question"? "no". "Well, your approved, I just have to finish processing this and you'll receive your card within 3 weeks.". We both felt mixed. Like its great it went so smoothly, but it felt like a massive waste of time??? We had to drive 3 hours each way, nearly $50 in gas, and it consumed our whole day, along with the hours it took to gather, copy, and organize the long list of "required" documents. The only documents we brought that were inspected were our passports and the interview notice. Nothing else was even touched or glanced at. Again, its great it went so smoothly, but it felt like a big waste of time, which is par for the course. I'll be excited once the green cards arrive and my wife can finally start working so we can open a business together.
