Any Dutch/American couples??

Peet, I'm pretty sure most schools do not require a SSN when applying for classes; Johnny does not have one and he is already in school. They also did not ask for one when he got his drivers license. Most places will understand if you explain your situation to them and will just ask for you to update them on your case status as well as your social security number when you finally get one.

I say your best bet would be to go down to your local social security office or call the local office and talk to someone; they are sure to know more about it than I do. I truly do not believe one is needed to go to school or drive though; just to work. Johnny can get a SSN now, but cannot work with it until he gets his EAD from the Adjustment of Status; though right now we are having a bit of trouble getting him a card as they sent our case off to homeland security due to them denying it for some unknown reason, they are looking it over for further review before he is able to get one.

Hope that kind of helps you.

You better just call the school you like to attend and the DVM office. I ran in a lot of problems to get enrolled and to get my drivers licence. But I'm sure if you find someone who is understanding they will make it work. I have seen other posts of people who got enrolled before they got all their paperwork done. I just are in the wrong town with million of international students who try to get enrolled or a drivers liscence. By the way, you know that you are allowed to drive on a foreign liscence for 6 months.... (LOL, I actually drove here on my Dutch liscence for 14 months without any problems)

Good to see some more people considering to move to Texas, welcome!

Depends on the place I suppose. Like I said, Johnny enrolled for school and got his license before sending in his AOS and before he had a Social Security Number.

Well, they wanted the SSN here, but it helps when your neighbor that does class with me is a state attorney.

She called for me. LOL, all that for photography classes.

That is, assuming you have a drivers license of some sort.

We'll see how things go, hopefully we get our green cards fast. We got our NOA's Thursday

Weird that they wanted a SSN; here being married to me was enough for the school. Johnny was able to enroll and get Florida tuition instead of having to pay full price.

I got a text from USCIS last week saying that they got our case so I should be getting something in the mail soon.

We just got back from Texas last night and finally got to meet Liz, and see Pat again. We had a blast at a really good chicken wings restaurant. It was fun and we all laughed a lot! It is nice to know that if we DO decide to move to Texas, we already have friends there. Especially friends who are going through the same immigration process as we are.

Congrats Peet!

Were they able to make your appointment somewhere close to where you live? I'm wondering how far Johnny will have to go for his, probably into Orlando or something, so at least forty minutes away.

Where can you find out what locations you can get your biometrics done at? Anyone have any ideas?

You can find your office on the USCIS-site:

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=of...office_type=ASC

At the bottom you can enter your zipcode and it shows you the closes by ASC-office where they do the fingerprinting.

Letty....you are AWESOME! Thank you so much for the link!!

And phew....we can have ours done in San Antonio! I was worried we'd have to drive to like Austin or Houston or something to get the biometrics done!

Lucky you! I do have to go to Houston .... 2 hour drive; ugh! I'm gonna try to do a walk-in so hopefully it's not for nothing and have to make the same drive again.

Johnny got his biometrics appointment in the mail today. It's in Orlando and set for Tuesday the 16th of February.
