It is NOT a green card. It is a spousal/relative visa and a step towards permanent resident alien status. The entering spouse is mandated to enter the US before its expiration, is permitted to work upon entry to the US and then paperwork is processed for the issuing of the green card. As soon as he enters the country he applies for a SSN which usually takes up to 6 weeks to process.

If his spouse is the GC holder who is sponsoring him and it's her bad credit rating in the US which is preventing them from finding a rental, that's too bad. Notwithstanding all your sidetracking editorials about the unfairness of it all, the system works and they'll simply have to find a private landlord who doesn't perform credit checks (and there ARE plenty of them despite your assertions to the contrary) and "make do" until such time as the husband gets to work and establishes a decent credit rating which will pass muster with everyone.

if you can't have credit but legally allowed in the USA and have income/job I can't see why it's a big deal.
Of course you don't, because it doesn't work for you in your "emergency".

This topic is going to go 20 pages. Only question is, will it do it in one day?

The only reason it's stretched to such a ridiculous length is the OP's inability to provide relevant facts and then, rather than answering questions, responding with barbed non sequiturs. Unraveling the mess is akin to doing a crossword puzzle with no clues.

Well, the fact that the OP doesn't understand that an immigration visa, which can, and usually does, lead to a Green Card, is still not a Green Card, isn't helping matters any.

Nice one!

I don't believe this story. The OP got 9 pages of play time, way more than deserved. I think it's time to stop participating. At least it is for me.

Did he DM anyone besides me? Is he also playing that game?

OP, I think you're full of baloney. American saying. Look it up.

The story is perfectly credible. The presentation was terrible.

someone already posted the immigration info that it IS a greencard and people are debating this?
