WELLCOME LETTER.

I was shocked at first, over 2 weeks after my wife got in the USA, INS had no reccord of her getting in the country. But I guess what happens is when you arrive at your POE and after you put ur finger print on that sheet and sign it, all that paper work gets sent back to the Service Center who processed your case. In my case we arrived in NY and my stuff had to get sent to Cali. So a few days ago I called, and magic they had her information and gave me the reciept number for her : OS155A IMMIGRANT VISA AND ALIEN REGISTRATION: which is the ordering of her green card. I havent gotten the welcome letter yet, and I called up the SSA and they said if my wife checked that they wanted USCIS to order her SSN it would be an automatic process and we should have the SSN card around the same time as the green card. I have called a few tiems and no number has been issued yet, but they just put the notice for the Green Card on 11/10/2010 so its only been 6 days. I will check back next week. Remember @ uscis.gov you can get mobile or email alerts!!!!! This way I dont have to keep checking their website, as soon as it changes my wife will get a text message and I will get an email! Thank god for e alerts I will keep yall posted.

Well just got an email today. "On November 12, 2010, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service at 1-800-375-5283" Which is pretty sweeto!!! I can call up the SSA and see if the SSN was issued. This is when they pass the information from USCIS to SSA....
