Check your status https://ceac.state.gov/CEACStatTracker/Status.aspx?eQs=WwjqOlbeRYzCYubaSQI+RA==

I checked mine and It’s on Administrative processing.. I dunno if it’s peculiar to Immigrant visas issued within the period of March, due to visa printing or something ? I’m just hoping

nayee:
Immigrants

Thanks bro

AP is normal, you guys should have your visas soon.

Mine says "Application Received"

I honestly don't know.

@nayee and @bojar, did the consular officer tell you when it'll be ready? Mine told me 5 business days and it was issued on exactly the 5th business day (exactly one week). I also overhead them tell some applicants 10 business days which is 2 weeks.

Don't worry, you guys will get it. However I recommend you contact them via email if you get no response after 2 weeks.

Regards.

For those who have entered the States with their K1 Visa, I advice you go get your Social Security Number (SSN) asap. I got mine without stress. All they need is for you to fill out the form (you can get the forms online or get it in their office), present your international passport, your birth certificate and your i94 printout. Once you do that, your number will be out within 2 weeks. No single dollar charged!

I've gotten mine and intend using it to get my drivers license.

Note that you can still go ahead and get married to your fiancee without the SSN. You can even open a joint account with your fiancee without the SSN. It's only a few Courts and a few Banks that insists on SSN before you can get married or open a joint account. I did mine without getting the SSN.

However I couldn't get my drivers license without the SSN and that's why I had to wait for my SSN before applying for drivers license.

Correct.

However, that SSN will have restrictions written on it though.

You might still need to get another one(even though with the same number) but with no restrictions written on it after you obtain the green card.

Thanks bro... I was only told that I will get a notification within 10 working days to go pick up my passport and Tomorrow will make it 2 weeks (10 working days).
I wasn’t really bothered till I checked my status online and saw it’s been updated to “Administrative Processing” as at yesterday..and the reviews I read online about AP got me a bit worried.

UPDATE:

Hey guys, I just checked my status again now and it shows “Issued”.

Its normal to see Administrative Processing. Every application always go onto Admin Processing before it gets Issued. As long as you weren't told to submit any additional documents, you are fine. Mine also read Admin Processing until the 5th business day before it changed to Issued. I won't be surprised if the Administrative Processing changes to Issued for you either today or tomorrow.

Congrats once again.

Yeah you will have to update your SSN once you get the green card. But the beauty of it all is that its done free of charge!

The reason why its important to get the SSN asap is because it is needed to get drivers license, some Courts need it for marriage and some Banks need it for opening of account.

I had to get the SSN solely because of getting drivers license. I can't imagine myself not driving for a long time. I need to drive around town

You are very right bro, I checked a few minutes ago and it shows “Issued”. So I guess I should be expecting a notification soon

Thanks for your quick responses bro..

Please what documents are required to obtain the Driver's License?

Worriedgurl:


Please what documents are required to obtain the Driver's License?

I'm yet to get my drivers license but I can tell you what I think are required. I'm not 100% sure though.

The documents required are your social security number, your passport photo, your international passport, your drivers license and evidence of place of residence (this I will use the mail I got from the bank, my marriage license and mail from SSN as they all have my residential address written on them) and i94 printout.

Note however that you must have resided in the State for 30 days before applying for Drivers license.

Thanks a lot but please what's i94 printout?

Its a document that gives details on the time you entered the States. Just google it and locate their website and click on it, type in your passport number and date of birth on the relevant section within the website, it will bring out your entry records. You can then print it out.

Note that this only done after you've entered the States.

Hello guys, please I need your advise, I will be going for my interview soon. I have 2 babies (twins) I will have to take with me , my mum will help me with one. Their main feeding is breastfeeding. I am worried because I am not sure if the overzealous staff at the entrance will allow my mum in with me.

What do i do as I understand it takes hrs before all processing ends. I can't carry two babies at the same time. And my babies can cry so well when they are not given food on time.

Their US Passport has been issued to us and I have them with me. Do I go with it, explain to them , and even show them so they can allow my mum with the other baby in?

I am so worried right now. Please can anyone advise me on what I can do?

Please help!

@abekeade1,

I think you can go with your kids and your mum. They should understand.

However I also advise you post this also in the US Visit Visa thread. They will provide you with good advice.

Try Barbados, it's visa free for holders of Nigerian passport, so it shouldn't be hard for you to get there.

Wow nice! I didn't know there are interesting places one can go without a Visa.

However do you know if there are any direct flights there? Or is there any connecting flights that won't require her having a US or Schengen or UK transit visa?

What about Dubai?

No direct flights, think you have to fly to London and take a connecting flight to Barbados

Drenimarcus:

Yeah, that's the problem. I think she doesn't have Visa. And Dubai will be an issue because her man can't fly long distance.
