Hey Guys,

I arrived here in US on CR1. The flight attendant gave me two form to fill...one was an arrival/departure ( think thats a i-94), and a custom declaration form. The guy at the immigration box stamped my Visa and said I didn't need the arrival/departure form any more. Is that normal?

Let us know.

Regards,

Me

Yes. US citizens and legal permanent residents (=green-card holders) only need to full in a customs declaration form when entering the country.

If you haven't received the SSN in two to three weeks, you can and probably should go into a Social Security admin office and inquire about it. Sometimes even though you've checked the box asking them to take care of the SSN card for you, it doesn't always happen.
