"Have faith in God, Jesus answered. I'll tell you the truth. if anyone says to this mountain, Go, throw yourself to the sea, and that does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen. it will be done for him. Therefore I'll tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (MARK 11:22-24)

Hello to all, I am soo excited that our appointment is tomorrow, I can't wait!

Sorry I have not been posting but I have been busy since monday, looking for work LOL

I come from a country where most jobs are obtained the old-fashioned way '..I know someone... a cousin... a friend... Let me ask around for you...'

So it's a BIG change for me to be spending HOURS on the internet filling out job applications online!

All the questionnaires! Whoa!

Well, I will Of Course post tomorrow night after our interview, and again,

Thank you to everyone who posts here, it makes my 'journey' so much better to know I am not the only one starting a new life :energy:

:content: This is so exciting!!!! :content:

Congratulations to jhunjhun for getting EAD and AP!!

Congratulations to Carmen & Aldo for getting SSN!

I see Eshansmommy also went for the SSN!!

Congratulations to Southern Canadian for the EAD and AP!!

Well my husband and I went to our bank yesterday to try to open a Joint bank account (We had gone before, but the bank could not do it without a SSN for me. I went to get a SSN the minute I got my EAD card.)

I was so happy we were finally going to get the bank account

We went yesterday and I gave the bank lady the SSN printout with my number on it. (I dont have the CARD yet)

But then she said 'Oh we have to run a 'check' on your SSN, it's routine, but it'll take 5 days' :rofl:

I could not believe it :rofl:

So still no joint bank account for me and my hubby.

I asked her to write us a letter on Bank Stationary to explain that we WANT to get a joint bank account, to explain why we dont have one yet... Bank Policy blah blah

Oh Well ;)

I'm a bit curious about the Social Security card posts. :wacko:

I've had mine before we got married, and then changed it once we had into my married name.

I didn't have a problem with obtaining one, and just wondered why so many of you are applying only now you have EAD's and so on? :unsure:

Just curious that's all. :whistle:

About SSN:

I recall that a while after we got married, I called the SSoffice to ask if I could get a SSN.

The lady asked me if I had a valid visa.

I told her the truth, that my tourist visa had already expired. (I-94 given to me at point of entry San Francisco Airport).

She said I would have to wait for the Green Card.

But the day I got my EAD card in the mail, I searched in these forums, and I found a lot of people's posts saying they had been able to obtain a SSN by showing their EAD.

So that's what I did.

When I went to the SSoffice, the gentleman first looked at my Passport, which had my expired tourist visa.

He actually said '...but this is expired...' but then immediately said '...Oh wait, you have an EAD... Sorry... It's ok...'

it was more like he was talking to himself ^_^

He was never rude to me ;)

He never asked me for a Green Card.

he quickly put all the information in the system, and Ta Da! I now have a SSN

I believe that if I had been more diligent and would've gone to SSOffice Right After we got married (and before my visa expired) I would've had it sooner.

that's why these forums are SO GREAT. All this information! For Free!

So many person's experiences! So much to learn!

I don't know if any of you are immigration lawyers, but the advice people give here is amazing.

The amount of tips, the stories about 'this is how my interview went...' is incredible.

:dance: thank you!! :dance:
