It´s been two weeks since my wife came to USA. Everything went well at POE. It´s been sort of a long overdue honeymoon. We had not since each other for a year. It took 8 months for our case to be completed. VJ was so important. It saved us two months using the shortcuts.

Thanks everyone for your support and good wishes. I´d be around if anyone needs advice or tips. I learned a lot from all of this and would gladly help others.

Before I go, I want to ask about my wife´s social security card. I understand it takes 3 weeks or more to receive it. What should I do if card doesn´t come within the next couple of weeks?

Her passport was stamped (CR 1) at POE. We are still waiting for welcome letter.

Thanks,

-Justo.
