My mom arrived to the US on January 11, 2019 with the immigrant visa I-155. She couldn't stay for longer than a month to receive the actual Green Card, and went back. Meanwhile, her foreign passport expired (whereas the visa itself is valid till December this year). She got a new foreign passport, while the stamped visa is in the old one. It's been 2 months already since she made her initial entry, but the GC is not here (I read that usually it takes up to 6 weeks to receive the actual card). My question: is the visa inside the old passport valid to come to the US, in case she won't receive her GC anytime soon?
Another question: we filled out the application electronically. She was told that this way she will receive her SS card without going to the SS office. It never happened and we went there. They said that my mom wasn't even in the system. Does it mean that something went wrong in the boarder control (she was checked for long hours as her two fingers are broken and she couldn't make the finger prints properly), and they didn't put her mistakenly to the system to issue the CG?... Is it possible?...
