I know.. I called... I finally broke down... Got through in less than 2 minutes but then was put on hold for several minutes... only to be asked "so what are waiting for?" by the lady (didn't catch her name) - umm I think that's why I called I told her prints... and then she said yeah well there's no updates other than prints back in April... well at least I didn't have to hold for 25 minutes to get that answer....<<sigh>>

Hi ..

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We have a member on ISL thread. That experianced A Random telephone call from the

EMBASSY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! this person asked me keep them status non gratta.

so I cant say who they are. but, I can give you a little info..

basicly the embassy called- the person on the phone was RUDE. but, never the less its the embassy

so you gotta suck it up. the embassy talk to family members and other relatives outside the home.

they talked to friends and questioned the benif. too. thats what happend in a nut shell.

so we hope they get this stuff over soon and they get the dayum visa.

one more thing....

please cooperate with the embasssy no matter how rude they are. no matter how retarded the questions

seem. give them what they want. be open and honest. I know its hard - in a culture like this we dont

like to talk too much. sometimes we have to in order to prove ourself as worthy and honest.

I wish you all good luck on your case. and please SHARE experiances with others. even if its

a PM send to me annon. I will post for you. I just want everyone to know they are not alone..

and to know what can happen in this process.

- again good luck to all of you!!!

Hi all,

Can anyone please tell me how long does it take to get a SSN card? The other day i applied for SSN and the lady there said they are going to verify my documents and status and it may take several weeks, however if i dont get card within 60 days then i can contact them. Is this how the SSN thing works?? i am here on k3 visa and have already got the EAD.

will appreciate any help

When you enter into the country your name has to be put in the SAVE system. It takes a few weeks then you can go and apply for your card. Once they verify all information you usually get the card in the mail within one month to six weeks. Good luck and hope you have it in hand soon.

Assalam-o-Alaikum;

I dont know anyone who waits for weeks to apply for SSN. It should be done ASAP. I might have old info. But dont worry, they will let you know whenever you go to their office. That is a very responsible department.

Dont forget...

TUE 4th of July ...

Embassy will be closed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
