Got my green card yesterday! Now to start the insane paperworking of everything else... :lol:

Congrats!!! it's nice to finally have it in your hands isn't it?

We went to the SSA office today to change my name :)

Is it an offence to go to another SS office after getting a Reference Number from one office.

I've been to the social security office 3ce now and still i cant get a card. i went when i just came in before my I94 expired, it was not approved. The officer said she could not find my info with USCIS. I went after my I94 expired but EAD approved the officer asked me to come back when i receive EAD or GC. I was there again on Monday (2nd August) with my EAD he said he couldnt locate my info with USCIS that my I94 has expired. He however said i should give him till Friday that he would sort it out. He gave me his number to call him. I called today and after 35mins of waiting on the phone he said i'll have to wait for about 3 weeks when he would have been able to confirm from USCIS or i wait till i receive GC. My GC has not even been approved and nobody knows when it 'll be approved. I feel so terrible. It means the EAD is not useful then. Its been a sad day for me. I thot the EAD 'll make life easier.

Sorry to hear that you're having a tough time with the SSA. I don't get why this happens :(

I'm including a link to an old thread that has information from VJ's resident SSN expert (Member I Quit)

Lot of info to take in, but hope it can help you!

I went to the SS office to get my card, and the officer guy was super nice! He was all amazed at the new card design. I told him I have a job offer and he said he'd call me monday to let me know if my number was ready!

I'm not sure how coming from a K-1 visa affects it, but you should be able to get the SNN with the EAD. We did that, and we had no problems whatsoever.
