If this immigration journey is causing you anxiety, raise your hand! *raises both hands*
-
Still working on ROC package, will probably be ready to be sent tomorrow. That whole ROC thing takes me back to the stressful time of the CR1 application, I can't wait for it to be OVER!
-
Got my first job in the US, starting tomorrow! Stressed out
-
Things are settling down nicely here, I just need a job! Back home however, my mom has breast cancer
She had surgery 2 days ago. I just can't afford visiting her right now and it's hard... -
Made a little trip to the USCIS and came back without any satisfying answer to my question. Next time, I'll stay in bed!!
-
Feeling better, anxiety is now under control and I think I should be getting a job!!
Summer in Southern California is not too bad 
I just start boogie-boarding, love the beaches in San Diego! -
Sorry about not responding your question! I had to go to the SSA because there was a problem on their side, and my SS # and card had not been generated (although I ticked the box in my DS230).
-
Received my driver license
It gives me a nice feeling of belonging here in the US a little more! On the not so bright side, I've been suffering from anxiety as a result of my difficulties coping with the immigration process and adjustment... too much stress. I finally decided to see a doctor about it, appointment tomorrow.- Show previous comments 4 more

Bonjour Laure,
J'ai aussi une question. My french husband got his GC in June. It has been more than 60 days after his arrival date to the U.S. without hearing or receiving any letter regarding his SSC (he had asked fora SSC in DS-230 forms). My questions are:
1-Did you ever receive a notice from SS Administration while waiting for your SSC, i.e. a letter indicating that the card would arrive.( my hubby didn't receive)
2-He's out of states now,which organisation to c...

Behind-the-wheel driving test tomorrow.... so nervous! I've had my (French) driver license for 13 years, but I wouldn't describe myself as a talented driver...

Thanks guys, I PASSED!!
)The examiner wrote "very good job" on my exam sheet
I made only 3 mistakes during the test, and the top limit is 15... all of my errors were doing California stops
All in all, very easy, and the examiner was very nice, he was chitchatting during the whole test and it helped me relax. He also took me to my own neighborhood (he didn't know of course) so I knew all the intersections and speed limits very well!

A reminder for all of us: when in the US, an alien MUST have their documents showing legal status at ALL TIMES. We went through a border patrol checkpoint as we were driving on a freeway close to the Mexican border (but inside the US), and all non-US citizens where asked for their papers. I had my GC but our Italian friends only had their California ID and got into trouble. Always have your GC/passport with visa with you!

Corrected my address with SSA, now waiting for the new SSN card. Finally OVER with SSA.
-
Passed the driver's license written test today (in CA)! I got a temporary license good for 60 days and I can drive on my own (because I got a French license)! Eventually will have to take the behind-the-wheels test, but for now, Pacific Beach, here I come!!
-
GC is missing my fingerprint on the front...
-
According to the USPS tracking number USCIS gave me yesterday, my GC is out for delivery today! Fingers crossed!seems to be out for delivery
-
Told by USCIS that my green card is in the mail, coming soon! Mess with SS and CBP database still to be fixed.
-
Seriously depressed, as CBP swear they can't correct my arrival record (misspelled name) because it was an entry on an immigrant visa. Now WHAT??
-
CBP messed up with my data input at POE... Going back today to have them correct it (hopefully).
-
Upset after visiting social security... they don't seem to know I exist.
-
-
3 weeks after POE, I haven't received my SSN card... I got a letter from SS in my visa package, saying in this case, call us. Should I bother, or just go to an office?
