My love has been in the US for almost 1 full month. My how time flies! We are set to be married on Friday (yay!!) and then back to processing paperwork (boo!!). He already has his Social Security number and is getting use to the transit system in NYC. Next on the list is getting a learners permit and then drivers license. We are enjoying every moment of it.

For those still waiting keep the faith. Our filing journey seemed like an eternity but now feels like a very small faded memory.

Wow congrats. We were ISSUED today so the wait now is for the visa in hand. He will be here hopefully on the 7th of next month (NYC). Good to know he got his SS already. Wasn't sure he would be able to get his learners permit without the GC. Tell me more about that.

Well if you check the NYS DMV, you definitely need the Social Security Card and other forms of ID which includes a passport with the I-94 and other things. It does not explicitly say he must have a GC. For the SS wait 2 weeks from arrival, print the I-94 and then go to the SS office. It was easy breasy and all he needed was the I-94 and passport with Visa in it. Good luck with everything!
