NVC FILERS - FOR October 2010

[OBX 51]

OBX,

In fact, condo in Edison closing didn't work out. We are renting in Plainsboro which is just 10 miles away from my new work location.

You are due for ROC. Did you file it?

Loto

Oh, sorry it didn't work out.

I'm due to file tomorrow actually but we are waiting for a tax transcript. Long story but it took a long, long time to explain to our accountant how to file our 2008 taxes for the year I was still in Canada after we were married. And we were paying him!! Anyway the amended return has been processed but not yet posted into their system, so once we have the transcript I'm ready to go.

We received my wife's green card yesterday.

[IndigoSkies 168]

We received my wife's green card yesterday. We went to local SSN office and asked told the clueless worker that I already called DHS and DHS said he needs to look up my wife in SAVE database. If he finds her there, then we can apply. Otherwise we don't can't apply. I didn't give him room to disagree with me by mentioning DHS often. He did as I told him. My wife was found in SAVE database. So we applied for the SSN. It should be here in two weeks or less.

Also, it was our one year anniversary. I left work early and went to have lunch together. In the morning, my sisters made us cut a carrot cake which was entirely too sweet. But it was fun. Because of all the hectic things in our lives, we didn't get to celebrate in a big way. But at least I didn't for the date. Yay.

I can't fit my timeline in the signature. But here it is for anyone who cared.

Nice job with the Green Card Indigo. And Happy 1st Anniversary!!

[Bob g 11]

9 March was the anniversary for my wife and I, married 1 year now. Wish we could have spent the day together, O well.

My flight to China is 24 March, so was hoping for an Interview, but can not get through to DOS.

DOS must be real busy now, with so much going on around the world.

Has anyone here received their spouse's SS Card yet? My husband is here over 3 weeks and although he received his green card, he hasn't yet received his SS # Card! I thought that if you check the box on the DS-230 that you want an SS card issued, you get it within 3 weeks of your POE!

[Heather&Matt 0]

POE done! Sitting in the my new home and it feels awesome!

[DebbyNSeyi 15]

POE done! Sitting in the my new home and it feels awesome!

Congrats!!!!

[OBX 51]

[LADYDARE 28]

Sometimes the SS card doesn't come in the mail though you checked the box. We did and it never came in the mail part of it has to do with JFK. You can go an apply at your local SSA office.

We received my wife's green card yesterday.

Congrats on GC and SS.

Yes Deb. As LD said, sometimes it may not reach. Since your hubby passed 3 weeks after POE, now you may visit local SSA and apply one by filling out SS-5 form. Take the passport and GC as well.

Congrats on POE as well!

Congrats Heather.

A note about those going to SSN office to apply for your LR's SSN. Go in and tell them that you've already spoken to DHS. Tell the SSN person that DHS said SSN office should look up the LR on their SAVE database. The SSN guy should look up the LR in SAVE DB. If LR is found in the DB, then apply for the SSN. If LR is not found in the SAVE DB, don't apply for SSN. Leave SSN office and come back in few day again. Do the same steps as above.

Good luck.

My wife, the LR, was found in SAVE DB on 17-MAR-2011. So we applied for the SSN. We were told that we'd get the SSN in two weeks. So by 31-MAR-2011. I'm hoping we'd get it this week, by 24-MAR-2011. I'll keep you'll posted. Sorry for not being more involved in VJ. Life is hectic for me now. Way more than I hoped it would be.

[IndigoSkies 168]

My wife received her SSN today. I came home to find this little surprised. We applied for SSN on 17-MAR-2011 and got it on 21-MAR-2011.

I even finished filling my tax return. I had finished filling out all the information since early February even before my wife's POE. The only missing info was my wife's SSN. I quickly plugged that into H&R Block software and filed the return before heading off to my uncle's house for dinner. Yay. Will update timeline tomorrow.

[LADYDARE 28]

That was very quick only 4days .
