Hello, fellow VJs! I hope your journey is going well!

I have a question that I'm hoping that you all can help answer. I entered the US as a K1 visa holder. My husband and I filed for the Adjustment of Status shortly after we got married. Along with that, I sent it the advance parole and work permit request also. I was under the impression that I had to wait for my work permit in order to apply for my Social Security Number - how stupid of me to not have read further into that. I found out shortly after the 90 days that my visa expired that I didn't have to wait.

Am I still able to apply for my SSN even after my visa expired?

Any information will be helpful, I only ask that you answer with actual facts.

Thank you all in advance!

I am just speaking from my gals experience...

She had to apply for her SSN while her I-94 was still valid, and thern again in her married name.

Since your gal didn't, unfortunately, she is going to have to wait until she gets her GC.

Again, unfortunately, there is not "wriggle room" for what you are asking for.

Best of luck!

Anybody know what the wait times are for the US Consulate in Vancouver?

Sorry....wait times for visa interview.

1. best to start ur own thread

2. If your a cr-1/IR-1 in Canada--ur interview will be in Montreal

Canadians Visiting the USA while undergoing the visa process, my free advice:

1) Always tell the TRUTH. never lie to the POE officer

2) Be confident in ur replies

3) keep ur response short and to the point, don't tell ur life story!!

4) look the POE officer in the eye when speaking to them. They are looking for people lieing and have been trained to find them!

5) Pack light! No job resumes with you

6) Bring ties to Canada (letter from employer when ur expected back at work, lease, etc etc)

7) Always be polite, being rude isn't going to get ya anywhere, and could make things worse!!

8) Have a plan in case u do get denied (be polite) It wont harm ur visa application if ur denied,that is if ur polite and didn't lie! Refer to #1
