US Immigration from Malawi

My husband applied for his social security card on sept 18th. We were told to wait 4-6 weeks and we would hear something back through the mail however we have gotten nothing. I called SAVE and they confirmed that everything was done on their end and the social security office had the status verification information they needed. He has gone back twice trying to get an update but they continue to tell him to just wait.

The i94 will expire soon, if it expires before we get any response from the office are we screwed?

My husband and I have a joint bank account and he also opened a personal bank account (both at PNC) We have applied for his social security card but have not received anything yet. A few weeks after opening the account we got a letter from the bank requesting for us to fill out the W-8BEN. I just wanted to double check if we should be filling this out? It says do not use this form if you are a resident alien individual which after AOS he will be. Any help is greatly appreciated.

For someone who is on a k1 visa and who is adjusting status but does not yet have the green card what is going to be our best option when it comes to financial assistance for schooling. I realize he is not eligible for any financial aid through the government but the little information that the school gives me makes it sound like private sponsors and churches are the only other option. I have a good job but we don't have an extra 40,000 sitting around the pay for school upfront.

Sorry if this has been asked again I have looked at reviews but didn't see much. Can the USC and k1 visa holder wait in the same line for immigration/customs?

We just had our k1 visa approved today! The flights we are looking at include a layover in Frankfurt Germany. Has anyone had experience with this? Is a visitors visa necessary for a 5 hour layover?
