Since you have the swapped name issue I’m not sure you can request the SSN card change just because the name on your GC will not be the same as the correct one they have in the system. So you better fix that first!
yeah exactly lol Let's wait for mom or Susie's thought here. My initial guess is that I at least need I-551 stamp to prove my permanent residency with my actual name on it.
I pre-emptively addressed this in an earlier response to you, please go back and review that response
Official Expedite Request Criteria:
How about trying an ASAP Tier 2 (72 h) & ask him/her for the infopass? I mean since they're IOs, they might be more helpful @ this time!
Oh so they’re the same reasons? Hmmm I guess I could try the emergency once again. Thank you!!Official Expedite Request Criteria:
USCIS may consider an expedite request if it meets one or more of the following criteria or circumstance:
- Severe financial loss to a company or person, provided that the need for urgent action is not the result of the petitioner’s or applicant’s failure to:
- Timely file the benefit request , or
- Timely respond to any requests for additional evidence;
- Emergencies and urgent humanitarian reasons;
- Nonprofit organization (as designated by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)) whose request is in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States;
- U.S. government interests (such as urgent cases for federal agencies such as the U.S. Department of Defense, U.S. Department of Labor, DHS, or other public safety or national security interests); or
- Clear USCIS error.

I did that too, but they haven’t called me back yet (I placed the request on Tuesday). And when I asked they just told me to keep waiting…
how did following-up with Ombudsman go? (were you able to talk to the case worker?)
They told me my case has not been assigned to a case worker yet and to try again on Monday. She made a note about the timeline but she said that’s all she could do until it’s assigned
I am not sure if you can follow up by yourself without a receipt number. In my case, Congress Case Worker is pushing USCIS to speed up the process and informing me at every step. My check hasn't been cashed yet either but I received an email from KCC yesterday and emailed my husband's documents to KCC. The US Embassy in my country do not even respond to my emails. My one and only hope is this passionate Case Worker.
Thank you. Stay safe and blessed in USA.
Thanks. My commute to the FO the morning of the interview would have been 2 hours. When it rains in ATL, there are usually accidents and traffic.I also needed a peace of mind that morning. I had counted on the hotel staff to wake me up early moring too.
Thank you so very much mom. May the good Lord bless and keep you. Thanks again for allowing God to use you to help others through this tough USA immigration journey. You are helping people get into their destinies. May God grant you your heart's desires according to His will. As you have helped me, and many others, you and your family/ children will never get stuck in life. Help will be there when and where you need it. You are appreciated
Congratulations!My Lord Jesus has done it again. i got my Green card today.
Its still shocking but true.
I have been playing the DV lottery since 2009. I got selected in 2011 but the results were cancelled because of the KCC glitch.
When the DV 2021 results were out in June 2020, i was scared to check since i was used to ''Not selected''for the last 10 years.So i forgot about it for 6 months. It was in January 2021 that i remembered, and got the courage to check and the 1NL was smiling at me.
Some tips i have found useful in the DV journey.
1. Pray, pray, and pray more. At every step pray. Pray for every document.There are times that i felt i would never get the G.C but prayer gave me hope. One miracle after another started happening. God is able.
2. Be persistent and don't give up.Utilize every opportunity available. I put in different expedited requests. its the 3rd that was completed, and i got an interview earlier than expected.
3. Just because you don't see the updates on the case status or from Emma doesn't mean that your case is not moving. Its moving in the background. getting my IL surprised me because i never got any letter confirming that the expedited request was granted. My IL date was 5 weeks after filing form I-485.
4. I got a hotel for the night [5 minutes away from the FO], so that i get to the early morning interview on time. It was raining the day before the interview, and the morning of the interview. I did not want to risk being late or oversleeping and not showing up.
5. My case wasn't approved the day of the interview, as the KCC file was still pending. The IO told me that the DV payment receipt is very important. So make sure you get it from KCC and take it to your interview.
6. Using money orders than Credit cards or checks to pay for the DV fee and AOS fee was helpful. I think they are quickly cashed than the rest of the forms of payment. Since you can track USPS money orders, i strongly recommend it. A day saved in the process goes a long way to help speed up your case.
Thanks to every one here that provided info, and helped me answer the questions that i had. Thank you Mom for creating this thread, and for the time you put in to help others.May God reward you big big.
May the good Lord bless and keep you safe in this USA that we have been given an opportunity to live in.
Am praying for those who are still waiting. May God surprise you in Jesus' name.
If you need specific prayer, please inbox me your name , and i will put you on my prayer list.
I got approved without attending to the interview. I was schedule for an interview but they had forgot to send out the interview letter. I believe it's possible they would do the same in your case as well considering the circumstances.
Thanks. Congratulations to you and your family. Please stay safe and blessed.
Thank you mom! Appreciate it! I already requested INFOPASS via a phone. My request was not considered urgent request so I am expecting a call back within 30 days and schedule an appointment from there!
