    Yes, understood! Global entry "update" for future travel would be nice though.

    Thanks everyone for the detailed answers! I'll be traveling back with my husband, so we'll ask what line to go for. Luckily no connecting flights. Also interesting facts here, I did not know I could update global entry to my CR1. That would indeed be nice. Dulles is always packed if not arriving late at night. 🙂

    I have the passport with the page, yes. So it's been issued. .. But I thought it's only "activated" once stamped, so I was unsure what my travel document is at this point. I will provide United Airlines the travel document type "US visa" and type in the number. Thanks pushbrk, it's kind of confusing with the lines. Last time I traveled through IAD as a foreigner I waited 3.5 hours in line.. It's always a pain there 🫣 Hopefully it'll go quicker this time.

    Hi, This might be a dumb question, or I'm overthinking it, but for those of you who went through consular processing outside the US and got the visa page in your passport... "how" do I enter the States? 1) United Airlines asks for travel document... So, am I technically still arriving on ESTA until my CR1 page has been stamped, or do I select "US visa" and type in the number listed on passport page? 2) in case someone knows Dulles Airport.. what line did you end up in? I'm coming in through Dulles and used Global Entry before... Am I a US Citizen/LPR line candidate, am I a foreign visitor, should I still go through Global Entry? Thanks!!! Just don't want any confusion by checking "ESTA" with the airline if it should be a visa. To my understanding it's only a valid visa once it's stamped by the agent there.

    Thanks! Is this kept up to date? Looks like most cards never arrived 😐

    Nah, we are about 6 months away from it, but all that time apart is already strenuous so we don't really want to wait... So we're going to bite the bullet, pay another large fee and go for it. I'd like to hear how it went for people, though. Is it really that easy, I'm just walking around with an expired greencard and showing some USCIS filing notice if asked? I will probably end up filing for naturalization after 3 years living in the US as a spouse so that might really get approved faster.
  13. ChelseaW
    Thanks everyone for replies! Fingers crossed SSN will get there ASAP and we won't have to hunt it down. Unfortunately I'm also going to be CR1 and from what I've been reading the removal of conditions is going to be a mess. 30 months processing time? 😱

    Hi all, I did not find any more recent topics regarding this, if there is one, please direct me. Once I-130 / DS-260 / Interview Stage all done and you entered the US to be with your spouse, how long did it take you to get the SSN and actual Green Card (the plastic card) ? During DS-260 we opted for the SSN delivery to our home address, but I am curious if this really gets triggered into motion once I enter the US or if we better check in with the local SSN office right away? Same for physical green card - I know my passport will serve as a greencard for up to 1 year, but does it really take USCIS up to a full year to mail the greencard to us? Looking for some experience reports from recently. Thank you 😊

    I had my interview today 😉 and all went well. I chose shipping, even though in Germany. They generally tell you that the passport will be shipped back to you within two weeks, although I honestly don't think it'll be that long. I can keep you updated how long it'll take. I would plan with a few weeks though. The processing of the visa might take longer than the actual shipping, even abroad. Plus, you just never know if they are asking for additional documents or evidence.

    Hi, We were Vermont Service Center. Filed a K3 approx. 3 weeks after the I-130, the message that the K3 got denied we received about five days after the I-130 approval. I'm not sure if they looked at the K3 first, or the I-130.

    That's good news, looks like they have appointments pretty readily available then? I was worried they are going in backlog with taking on all these extra cases from other embassies.
