F-1 married to a US citizen

[Zoelo 0]

G'Day all!

I came here on a student F-1 visa in 2011. Met my husband and we married Feb of 2013.

Sent off our package and lots of hard earned money to USCIS and just got my biometrics appt date for May 17th.

Exciting but also plays on my nerves.

Im so bored at home, I only have school twice a week and the rest of the days are spent playing Suzie homemaker.

Im out of status currently while waiting for the change of status to come through.

Luckily hubby is a US Marine and we get looked after well.

Anyone who came on an F-1, in or out of status when married who successfully gained their visa got a story to add? What is the process for applying for a SSN once the EAD is approved?

Cheers guys

Count yourself lucky you've got school to keep you occupied. I was doing the Suzie homemaker thing full time while we waited for my husband's orders to drop from the worst base imaginable in the USAF (Thank Gosh we finally have them).

Once you have your EAD, you go to the SS office and apply for a card. Make sure you bring the EAD.
