That helps, any idea how long I might be there for?

Typical that we get our appointment on a busy day, if it'd been a Tuesday we'd be free all day

I had one take less then 10 minutes, and one take about 2 hours, it depends on how busy they are, Hopefully you will catch a good day were they're not busy and you can finish in less then 20 minutes. Good Luck

Congrats! The biometrics is just finger prints and photo, You will fill out a form(basic info. that you fill out with most forms) that you turn into the counter lady/man and they will give a number that tells your turn, and then you fill out a basic feedback form(how you were treated,recommendations,etc about 2-3 questions), and your done.

As for documents I think you will need to bring I.D., the appointment letter, and some other documents(should tell you on the appointment letter, if ever in doubt call the uscis number). Im not 100% sure if this is all you need but this is what i remember from my appointment.

Hoped I helped a little. Good Luck!

Oh I see, you want to use someone else's money to buy a home. That's different.

The best and fastest way is to open an account with a credit union that gives their members credit cards, use it a little, pay it off and in 6 months they will give you a credit increase...then go from there.

Given 2-3 years and a good income, you will be able to qualify for a home loan. If you have cash, you can buy anything you want.

I agree with this method,credit cards and a banking/checking accounts are easy way to get credit. Just make sure to pay cc off and just do a little bit of research(interest rate,annual fee,etc.), also if you want a car you can possibly get a new car or a used one if you have someone to cosign for you. Good Luck!

Thank you Free-Dom, for the advice and for standing up for me(even thought i just ignore ignorant comments from people

Just Bob, thank you for your response, and unfortunately your right, I think i may have to wait a little bit longer to go to my local community college, in the meantime though I can go to the other community college 1 hour from my house since they have my program too.

DFH- Thank you very much, I think your the only one who actually understood what I was trying to say, Thanks for the advice and I will check into the foreign student services. Once Again Thank you!

edit- Also thank you Harsh_77 for clearing up the visa p.r. thing

^^^ i dont want to sue anyone someone suggested that to me, trust me i have no problem letting american citizens and Legal P.r. go to college before me, i just want a simple explanation of why one accepted me and one didn't thats all. maybe this was just a bad question to ask or not phrased right on my part. I don't mean to offend anyone.

oh my bad, a perm resid card is what im waiting on, but how did i get accepted into a different college when my local one rejected me that makes no sense, they both had the same information, and even a teacher of the school that reject me said i supposed to be admitted as a normal student

F2A permanent resident visa, and the guy said in the meantime of waiting he told me I was supposed to be given a work visa as well(i paid for it without knowing) He then gave me a form and said just fill it out along with the receipt(i dont know what form exactly) and i got my work visa that way. Im still waiting on my permanent resident card

Hello, im 18 and i got my work authorization card about 3 1/2 months ago, and I was happy to finally go to college(graduated early 2 years ago, and was basically stuck after that), applied to my local community college(NC) and expecting to be easily accepted, but heres what the result was: I got a letter stating this

Since I was a undocumented immigrant(which last time i checked a work visa is a document) 1. I could not be accepted until the First day of class, and had to pick from the classes left over from us citizens

2.Had to pay out of state Tuition(I could partially understand this one)

3. After I signed up for classes, if an a u.s. citizen wanted a class that i signed up for and it was full they would drop me from the class and give it to him, refund on class was not mentioned but i think i would get one

After i got this letter I was clearly disappointed, so i emailed the admission office and told them about my situation and that i have a work visa and was told i could go to college as long as I have a SS, and a license(i have both. The lady responded stating in NC a work visa has NO barring on if i can go to college.

So I let it go, thinking I have to wait a little longer(still don't have my visa, called uscis and they said I was scheduled to receive mine months ago, but they don't have enough numbers, so im in limbo til my priority date shows up) but recently i went to test this nc theory and everyone i talked to said that i should have been accepted like any other student(even one of school's teacher). So I applied to another community college which is about 30 min away as a test, and they stated if I bring my work visa along with my I-95 they would accept me like normal but I would have to pay out of state tuition(which at this point I fine with..i guess, better to go to college then not at all). I received my acceptance letter today.

I want to know your opinions on what I should do, should I just keep quiet and go to the farther community college, or should I find a way to take legal action against my legal community college. Any advice appreciated! Thank You!

Hello my priority date is December 25,2008 and for sept. 2011 its states december 1,2008 as the priority date for F2A visa, does that mean that it includes me or do I have to wait for the exact date that i have ? Thank you

Thank You Everyone!!! :) :)

The designation means to use it for work you have to have a green card or EAD to go along with it. Your S S card can be used for all the other things you mention.

Thank you Very much!! I have a a ead card to go along with the social, again I appreciate you helping me !!

Hello i am new to this site, and today i received my social security card with "valid for work only with dhs authorization". I was wandering if this means i can only use it to work, or can i use it for other things such as getting my license, going to college, and opening a bank account. I am 18 and was really looking forward to doing all those things, but i just want to make sure i dont get into any trouble. Thank you!
