i just immigrated to the US yesterday and i completely lost focus on what to do next.

 

my things what im gonna do now are:

- write resume, drop it off at company

- get a US phone number

- update address at dmv (cause i got my drivers licence as an aupair already)

 

Uscis officer told me my Green card could take up to a year to arrive and since i also have my ssn obtained as an aupair this would be likely the same.


Can you edit my list with maybe some links so i can look up what to do as well?

 

thank you lots

You came here as a spouse of a US citizen? Your husband should be helping you with this. Get a bank account, a state ID or drivers license, sign up for a cell phone plan, have your husband add your name to bills if he so chooses. Apply for jobs (most Jon applications are submitted online).. it may be easier to apply for jobs once you have a valid US ID though.

Well you already have a SSN so you won't get a new one. In case they send you a new card with a different number take care of that and get it corrected.

As @Luckycuds already said: bank account, get added to bills/ lease agreement/ insurances, credit card.
