So we are supposed to wait 21 days to get the SSN and have to get married within 90 days? I wanted to get married within the week of his arrival and this is a little alarming. So would the 90 days start after the SSN is issued or is the supposed 21 days inside of the already progressing 90 days?

Ooooh Visa, why are you hard on my brain..

Ok I looked it up on Vj:

"As a K-1 Visa Holder you are eligible to receive a SSN upon producing a valid I-94 (unexpired). Do

not wait until you only have a few weeks left until your I-94 expires to file for a SSN. Many SSA

offices will not allow you to file for a SSN if your I-94 is about to expire (generally 14 days prior

to the expiration on your I-94). On the other hand, you should also not file for a SSN too soon either.

You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. If you go too soon your

record of arrival will not be in the SAVE-ASVI system yet, and it will require manual verification from the

USCIS. As this will add weeks to the period it takes to process the SSN, it is advisable to attempt to wait the two weeks to be safe. If you have waited the 2 weeks and they tell you they can not verify you arrival record via the SAVE database, you may allow them to to process it (but remember the potential delay for manual verifications). You can ask if they will check the computer again for you in a few days or return personally to have them look again -- thus eliminating the manual verification. The manual verification will require the SSA office to file a G-845 with the USCIS."

Good morning everyone. Just made my useless $12 phone call to the embassy. Man do I hate this. I just don't see an end in sight. On the bright side I felt this way when we were in AP at NVC too.

They can't tell me anything. It's exactly like AP in NVC. That's pretty much all that they can tell you. I have to get new tires for my car and get it serviced. I don't know what else I am going to do. What are you and Pat going to do?

UGh...that just sucks! Hopefully they will get finished with it soon! Oksana and Alina doing ok...not sick anymore? We are meeting with the owner of the B&B where we are having the wedding tomorrow. Pat hasn't gotten to see it in person yet so I'm excited he finally will!! Then we're going to a few stores looking for decorations for the wedding. I think on Sunday we'll be doing some work on/around the house.

Morning Richard...how are ya, darlin?

Thank you Richard. What are your plans?

Oksana and Alisa are feeling fine except for not having their vids.

Liz that sounds like a lot of fun. It will be good for Pat to finally see the place.
