I'm the wife of an American Soldier;

I'm the hope that lives within him after storm clouded days.

The freedom from war that gives wings to his heart,

May they reach across the miles and bind our hearts together

against all that we must face in this world. ❤

I agree with the other member's advice here.

Get married before your I-94 expires. I-94 is stapled in your passport upon arriving at your POE.

Then you may apply for SSN 2 weeks after US arrival or after you get married. I suggest the latter.

Don't worry if your SSN will be on your maiden name since you can change it when you do your AOS and present your GC.

Good luck and happy trip!

Don't worry about it. your husband probably know everything on how to work your papers here. you will be super busy on your first month here in US.

Wrong! Not all husband's knows what to do next or what paper works that you're gonna prepare again, one of them was mine, when I told him what I have read here in VJ he ask some more proof of sites or where did the members get the infos so i research more and sent him the USCIS site where it talks about AOS ang stuff like that. \

Enjoy first but don't forget to do what you have to do that won't jeopardize your stay here in the US. HAPPY TRIP!!!!

It's a good thing the husband knew what he was doing or else, I would have been clueless about what to do after arriving in the US. He was the one who helped me with my AOS paper work. Funny, but we found out about Visa Journey after we got my green card. :star:

Hokey Smoke!

Rocky: "Baby, are they still mad at us on VJ?"

Bullwinkle: "No, they are just confused."

You're wrong... I never said ALL husbands knows about it but they should know what to do about it. :
