Hey guys,

I havent posted in awhile but we are currently with the NVC process of paying AOS bill/ IV bill which is going very fast and smooth. I have a question on something farther in the process. Once the beneficiary comes to the US, how soon are they able to start working? When are they supplied an SSN?

Pre-USCIS:

07-20-2008: Fell In Love

10/15/2008: Jami and I meet for the first time

1-17-2009: Became Engaged In Nova Scotia

04-01-2009: Visit to Nova Scotia to see Jami

06-29-2009: Jami comes to Arizona to visit

01-08-2010: Married in Fredericton, NB Canada

01-11-2010: Jami allowed back down with me after marriage for 6 months

USCIS JOURNEY:

05-20-2010: I-130 Packet mailed out! ( Finally! )

05-22-2010: Packet received at Lockbox

05-28-2010: NOA1 ($355.00)

07-07-2010: Jami went back to Fredericton, NB :(

10-29-2010: NOA2 ( FINALLY! )

NVC JOURNEY:

11-05-10: Case received at NVC

11-06-10: Called automated machine and got NVC case number

11-08-10: Called and changed Jami's address and added my email to case for corraspondance updates

11-16-10: DS-3032 email generated and emailed to us

11-16-10: AOS fee bill generated and emailed to us

11-18-10: Paid AOS Bill ($88.00)

11-23-10: Mailed completed DS-3032 through Canada Post

12-01-10: NVC Received DS-3032 and updated in System

12-06-10: Mailed AOS packet overnight express

12-16-10: Paid IV Bill ($404.00)

The green card arrives a few weeks after entry. You will likely need to wait a few weeks before applying for the SSN as well. Some people seem to get them and others dont even when they checked the box.

Your I-129f was approved in 5 days from your NOA1 date.

Your interview took 67 days from your I-129F NOA1 date.

AOS was approved in 2 months and 8 days without interview.

ROC was approved in 3 months and 2 days without interview.

Checked the box? Is that somewhere on a form I haven't seen or had to fill out yet?

I believe its jammed somewhere on the files you would send to NVC for the interview thats coming up. It was a really small section that had a tiny check box that said "I do wish to have an SSN generated for me, I do not wish to have an ssn generated for me." But like I said sometimes they dont even generate one when you ask them too!

It shouldnt take you too long to get the SSN tho and should be able to work soon after you get there.
