Great, thanks. Did she go through the citizen/resident line?

And yeah, Moscow-Houston direct on Singapore is 12.5 hrs of relaxation (and cheap!) compared to routes with stops through Europe or the US.

She said she went through the line for citizens. After she made it through customs she was taken to a small room where they took her packet and fingerprints. They looked over her documents and asked her the purpose of her being here!?...and then let her go. I think it was pretty easy for her, and people coming in to IAH will have no problem. It's a moment you won't forget when you see her walk through the glass doors.

Thanks for the info! I'll be flying into IAH with my hubby (beneficiary), and was debating which line to go through. I think I'll just walk confidently into the citizens line with the hubs in hand.

You are most welcome. It should be fine; especially since you will be with him. Off topic, but my wife and I are having a battle of wills over the AC. It's not what you think...she wants it OFF and I want it on. This from a woman who is used to sub-zero weather in the winter. Only a Houstonian or Florida resident can appreciate how crazy that is.

Best of luck to you!

LOL. Once I saw that I was like "yep, sounds like my wife..." She's from Florida and anytime that it reaches to 80* degree F here, she complains that there isn't any A/C in the UK.. But I can understand AC is obviously needed in places like that with the heat. Hope she gets use to the weather soon and then wants the AC on constantly.

7 weeks .....so can't apply for jobs till SSN and green card is received... I thought you can get the SSN in 2 weeks ... but I guess you have to wait for green card to apply for SSN.. is that right??

Ours is a bit of a confusing situation. Many spousal visa immigrants go through POE and have their SSNs within a couple of weeks of arriving. That would be normal. The visa has a temporary green card, so while the real green card takes generally 1-3 months to arrive, you still have proof of legal residency and legal authorization to work in the meantime.

Unfortunately for us the customs agent at POE made some mistakes entering my husband's info into the system, and trying to correct it has set us back hugely. Since he is legally allowed to work, he has been applying to jobs. I expect he could get through an interview and still be fine, but at the point of starting a new job they generally want to verify SSN. I'm not sure what'll happen if he gets that far and we still don't have a number assigned -- I've seen other VJ members say they simply told employers they were in the process of applying and it was fine -- but we'll cross that bridge if we come to it.

Hi! I read somewhere in this website that a week after POE you can go to a SS office and personally apply for a ssn; if you already requested a card in the DS-260, then you can still go to a SS office and ask for the number itself (maybe doing so won't make them issue the card faster, but at least you will know the number and can provide it to your employer, banks, etc). This is what I plan to do, go to a SS office a week after POE

my thoughts for you is to go as soon as possible, inquire about the status of your card and request the number! Keep us posted... Good luck!!!

Got our interview scheduling email on the 15th - my interview is in Montreal a month from today - Sept 19! Flights booked and registered for Loomis, now working on scheduling medical etc. (And all of this from hotel rooms across the country on our amazing road trip adventure! I can't believe I'm not at home madly printing everything!

Keeps me from being too obsessed I guess!

Yay! I'm glad that you already have an interview date!! Congratulations fellow October filer

Good luck!!

[alejandreska 136]

Tomorrow morning is my interview!!

My husband (petitioner) will go with me. Wish me luck! I have a plane ticket for Aug 31st, so hopefully I'll get the visa before then

This process seems to be almost over, what a relief
