Absolutely ! grab an I-9 form, study it. What 'saves you' for Day 1 - err.. FROM Day 1, past POE -

is that you get a stamp in the passport that VALIDATES the visa to be used as a temporary I-551 card (green card).

So, with the SSN in hand, with that thingie in the passport - you can work. No need to wait on physical GC delivery.

thank you ... You just won some food porn pics for later

Once the go through POE, they get an I-551 stamp in the greencard... This will act as a temporary green card until the actual card arrives... From theat point hey can start looking for a job and can work... However, after about 10 days go to your local Social Security office, they will usually have on file the SS# and give you a print out on it... then the SS card will come about 7-10 days later.... The actual GC has been taking about 4-6 weeks to arrive. But the I-551 stamp serves as a GC for up to a year...

You can actually start to apply (meaning send out resumes etc..) before POE, but they will not usually let you start before receiving your SS#, so about 10 days after POE...

cool. thanks!!!

makes no sense at ALL!! I was reading... and I dont think that it should be that different between the consulates but... in the NEW Delhi Consulate they said that the medical has to be preformed atleast 7 days before the interview... and that a medical is good for 1 year...

I think this whole immigration process is going to be the death of me!!!

It really doesn't make any sense..

I was hoping on finding out where I can have it so I can actually have it soon, I'm leaving to see hubby in about 2 weeks and I would like to have it before that since I won't be home until april 29th. And if I get an early may interview,it might be tricky trying to fit the medical in!

I'm going absolutly bananas, I can't for the life of me understand why you can never get a straight answer out of anyone during this process!

Last weekend I started to gather the papers/evidence to the interview. Also, just today I received the co-sponsor's packet in the mail.

So now, it's just missing a few documents for the interview packet and the medical. I'm trying to do it slowly so I can keep my mind busy when I get bored.
