Hello everyone!

 

I arrived in the US two and a half weeks ago and we got married 3 days ago. I was wondering if I can go apply for my SSN. 

We haven't done any official name change yet and our lawyers just started working on the AOS papers and they probably won't send them off for another 2-3 weeks. 

Can I go apply for the SSN? Does it matter that I'm going to apply after I got married? The process seems easy but I'm a bit confused.

Hi everybody,

 

Does anyone know how long it takes for the visa to be issued after a successful interview? My husband has his interview at the embassy in Athens, Greece in a week from now, so we were wondering what happens after that and most importantly how soon after he'll be able to travel to the US.

 

Thanks a lot!

Hopefully someone can shed some light on this. After extensive abuse of the search button here on VJ, unfortunately I was unable to find an answer to my question.

 

We are in the process of filling in our I-130 form.  I am planning on taking my husband's so the petition is in my married name and maiden name is mentioned under other names used section, but what has me stumped is the name in native language section.

 

My married name is not documented anywhere and on anything here in Greece, and neither will it ever be, as Greece does not allow name changes due to marriage.

 

Should I just put my maiden name and first name in that section, as its the only name that I have ever used?

 

Thanks!

Do I need to have my x-ray in my carry-on luggage at the POE or can I simply put it in my checked one?
I'm asking because it's not the most convenient thing to carry around for 20hours. I'm quite sure that the officers don't care about x-rays but only for the brown envelope but I'd like to hear your opinions.

Ok, so I'll be moving to the U.S next week and I have a question.
Do I need to declare all the gadgets I'll be bringing with me? I'll be bringing my computer, DSLR camera, kindle, hard drive, phone, etc.
I've been to the U.S three times and never declared anything. What should I do this time?
