US Immigration from Canada

People who have crossed the border recently, Have you applied for US drivers license yet? I live in Ontario and planning to move to Atlanta. what sort of documents do I need? Any idea?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi friends. I crossed into the US yesterday and all went well, but the border officer made a suggestion that has me confused.

When we filed for my IR1, we selected the option to have the SSN mailed to me. However, the officer told me I needed to go in person to an office and get the card myself. I told him we had selected the option to have it mailed and he told me to go anyway to avoid delays.

I don't mind going, but I don't want it to cause any trouble if I do need to wait (can these things be double issued?). Has this happened to anyone else? Should I go and get the SSN from the office or will that cause trouble since I selected to mail it?

Happy New Year everyone!

I would like to start a thread to share timeline and experience. Let's post your case details and connect here!

Here's my case details as of Jan. 06, 2022:

• Interview date: TBD

I'll keep everyone posted if there is any update to my case.

Hello, I arrived in Florida with my IR1 Visa on Jan 1st. I was under the impression it was easier to contact the office because in order to start a job without my SSN in hand I AT LEAST need some sort of letter indicating that It is on the way or they will not allow me to work. The Tampa office is closed for in person visits without an appt but I can't even reach them by phone, it won't even allow me to be on hold.. after 3 minutes of listening to the stupid automated voice it "puts you on hold" for 3 seconds and then says sorry were busy and hangs up. I need to work so what am I supposed to do? I called the 1800 number and they said only the local office can help me. I am probably going to lose the job I already had lined up

My husband holds NATO2 visa currently and considering staying in the US as an option. Someone mentioned NATO visa holders can actually find an employer who is willing to file labor certificate for him via I566, which would qualify as special immigration category. Does anyone know about this and offer some input? Thank you.
