I thought you could apply for SSN as soon as you get here i.e as soon as you have the I-94. Thats not the same as EAD right? And if thats the case, you could technically go to the SSN office and apply for one right away, correct?

A smooth visa journey and much speed to all!

You need to wait at least two weeks from the POE so that your information at the point of entry has time to make it into the computer system that the SSA uses to do its verifications. When you get to the SSA after those two weeks, they will want to see your passport with the I 94 in it.

What's not the same as EAD? Getting your social security number? No - EAD is a completely separate process; you apply for it when you send in your AOS paperwork - it is the document which proves that you have permission from immigration to work. An SSN on its own does not do that - its a completely separate process from immigration.

I'm hoping we have two separate accounts and one joint account - that way we always have a little financial independence :) It means I can go out and spend my money on frivolous things without him getting p'd off at me :lol:

We have separate bank accounts ... both names are on the one I use, but it's easier for us to keep track of finances that way.

this is the way the world ends
