Comments : Brought Sidd home to the US finally!! He entered on June 9th in the morning with me. As of todays date 7-28-22, no social security card yet but his GC was mailed to us this morning. This past Saturday Social Security sent him a letter that said they couldn’t issue him a SS# cuz DHS couldn’t verify his documents and on Monday we were notified that his GC was being produced so we’ll make another long trip to our SS office once he’s got his GC to hopefully have them fix whatever the problem is, DHS obviously verified his documents if they issued him a GC lol.
The only immigration/legal obstacle we’ve run into since Sidd left India is this mess with getting him a SS#. He’s got a wonderful job that he absolutely loves & works for a guy that’s quickly become a great friend and mentor to him.

Event Date
Port of Entry : Chicago
POE Date : 2022-06-09
Got EAD Stamp : Yes,Passport Stamp
Biometrics Taken : No
Harassment Level : 0
Comments : Husband went through the same border security line I was in, they asked him what his address will be, stamped his passport and he was good to go. We both went back 2x to ask the Officers if there was something else he was supposed to do cuz we thought there was a separate line for 1st time entry & they would take him for an interview but they said nope, he’s good to go. Was almost scary how nothing we have heard others go through when entered happened to us lol.
Everyone we dealt with in Chicago when Sidd got here was extremely awesome, talkative & joking with us.

Congratulations..does the NVC sent a welcome letter to both the beneficiary and the petitioner email ?
Siddsgal on 2020-05-06 said:
Elsie Barnes- Yep, both my husband and I got the NVC email. We never got any email or notification from USCIS that our case was approved, first we knew of it was when we got the NVC email which also included the case and invoice numbers for us.

Congrats on the I130 approval. Is there any update on your case at NVC stage, Can you please update your timeline

We slacked off this summer with getting our NVC package together, we have been doing visa stuff ever since we got married and wanted to just enjoy being married for a bit. Then my husband ran into a mess trying to get POC cuz they needed him to put my name in his passport first. It took over a month for him to get his POC. We didn’t submit NVC packages till 11-20-2020. On 12-4, I had to resubmit the explanation of why I didn’t file taxes( I’m permanently disabled) and we got the notice today, 12-15-2020 that we got DQed.

Hi, so did you husband had to get a new passport with your name on it?? If so didn’t it reflect anything since your i130 was already approved with his old passport?
Siddsgal on 2021-04-07 said:
UB- sorry, just seen your message. Everything had been submitted when Sidd got his new passport so we’re just gonna bring both passports with us to his interview. I’m sure we won’t be the first couple to have this issue lol. If we woulda made changes on anything our completed case would have been opened again and we would be waiting to get to where we are now all over again. He’s never traveled anywhere that needed a passport so his old one didn’t hold much significance anyway. My passport has my old last name on it cuz my Indian visa still has 8 years on it, the details on the passport aren’t as important as just having a passport is. Pretty sure your passport # changes each time you get a new one so not a big deal👍🏼.

Update- Still waiting for IL…….. Least we have become IR1 now, only good thing bout this wait.
Siddsgal on 2022-07-30 said:
Sidd’s Green Card, which is good for 10 years, arrived today, 7-30-2022. Took 921 days from when we submitted I130 till GC in hand. Covid lockdowns was the reason for it taking such a long time but Covid lockdowns also were a blessing cuz it caused our case to become IR1 by his interview. Sidd having IR1 status made entering the US a breeze for him & allowed us to skip the removal of conditions step & expenses. Can’t believe our visa journey is over!! I know how hard it can be waiting and being apart but if you are a legitimate couple, it’ll happen for you and bringing your spouse home to the US is so worth all the struggles and waiting! God Bless!!

*Notice about estimates: The estimates are based off averages of other members recent experiences
(documented in their timelines) for the same benefit/petition/application at the same filing location.
Individual results may vary as every case is not always 'average'. Past performance does not necessarily
predict future results. The 'as early as date' may change over time based on current reported processing
times from members. There have historically been cases where a benefit/petition/application processing
briefly slows down or stops and this can not be predicted. Use these dates as reference only and do not
rely on them for planning. As always you should check the USCIS processing times to see if your application
is past due.
