  1. Wow, thank you this is super valuable! I almost attempted using PCC at SSA, but I just showed US passport to speed things up (wasn't in mood to try)
  2. Awesome thank you for sharing this report and even sticking to the format 😃 This is super useful! I'm yet to try it at DMV.
  3. You cannot travel on J-1 especially after you marry and apply for adjustment of status. Your option is to marry now in court, apply for AOS immediately (with application for Advance Parole I-131) and hope you get it before your travel. If you don't have advance parole or green card by the time of your trip, you cannot leave the US. You can always have a celebration of your marriage in October as planned earlier. You'll be just legally married by then. Or if you don't want to legally marry until October, you can say goodbye to that trip, it won't happen. You just can't have it all, unfortunately, due to how restrictive immigration process is.
  4. If you use USPS, make sure to send with proof of delivery
  5. Interesting... If you're using Sufshark etc do you think VPN software itself can break DNS resolution? This is what I observed with some VPN solutions in the past. E.g. you disconnect, but then some website domains don't resolve. A reboot may help, or need to look at system DNS settings. I use VPN with VJ exclusively so cannot comment accessing without VPN.
  6. Yes, sadly most of SSA locations now require appointment.
  7. Sadly, they have 120 days to make a decision according to law.
  8. Did you try this link to request missing notice? https://egov.uscis.gov/e-request/ndn
  9. Yes, you're allowed to travel. Just don't have any trips over 6 months and try to spend as much time in the US you can. Good luck!
  10. EDLs are not available in California, sadly. I have mDL on my phone, it's an interesting idea. The only concern is privacy when handing phone over to other people.
  11. It depends whether you checked box on I-485 to get new SSN card and whether you get lucky. If you don't receive it within a month, just get appointment at SSA and get replacement card. Typically you can fill form SS-5 to get replacement card with no DHS wording on it. Why is it important? Because you never want to show GC to employer. Many HRs don't understand how immigration works. Especially with 2 year GC, they start freaking out when it expires and ask for new GC and or don't believe the extension letters. So the best course of action is showing unrestricted SS card and valid DL / state ID for I-9. Employer cannot demand to see GC, they must accept List B + List C documents which SS cars and DL are.
  12. Now that I got PPC I'm prioritizing using it for 2 reasons: 1. It doesn't show my home address. I don't want any guy at grocery store, Home Depot or night club / bar to know my home address. With DL, in some states you can get a PO of course and put that as mailing address that would appear on DL. 2. DL number doesn't change (AFAIK, at least in California), but PPC number does change every 10 years. If info gets to wrong hands, I suspect more damage can be done with DL. I just think of TurboTax and some online government websites where they validate identity using DL number.
  13. Different documents - different numbers? Two PP would have different numbers too, even if issues to same person.
  14. At my oath ceremony, we were told to sign it at home on good even surface, because signing at USCIS may result in bad signature or damage to certificate.
