You do not need a SSN. You will be able to get enrolled into DEERS & get an ID Card for 3 months. When those 3 months are up, you will have to go on base again and get a new one reissued for another 3 months. They will need your passport & birth certificate (I believe) it's been almost a year that I've done this and I am speaking from my own experience. But knowing the military, one base doesn't know what the others do.

Write N/A for your I-94, because it is not applicable to VWP-Tourist.

No u miss understood me. We are together but we are not n stage of marriage yet ,sorry for the confusion.

I quote you: " one thing is to find a permanent resident and marry her ..." that doesn't sound like you already have somebody. This sounds like you are looking for someone to marry to stay in the states!

It's really complicated. I'm under f1 status now but the school which I'm going yo it's about to shut down and I will have no status anymore. I'm in pending for a green car thru my mom but still have 3-4 years. Meanwhile trying to figure what would be the best for me to do. Option one is b2 status but idk for how long I can get it. Other thing is to find a permanent resident and marry her than having some pending status. Kind a don't have any choice right now

You blow my mind. You have to find somebody to Marty to get you to stay in the US? I can't believe you just said that. That's called immigration fraud and don't try to turn this thing around into: I only marry her if I love her bla bla bla. Because of the statement you made above, we all know it isn't true. Where are you from? How about you go home where you came from & wait until your petition from your mom went through? Unbelievable

Put N/A into the space where they are asking for I-94, because it's not applicable for people coming under the VWP. Been there, done that & adjusted successfully. Good luck!

Here are the few BASIC NAVY REQUIREMENTS:

Age: 17- 34 y/o (under 18 must get parental consent)

Citizenship: must be a U.S. citizen or, if you’re a non-citizen, you may join the Navy if you entered the United States on a permanent residence visa

Financial Obligations: In certain cases, you must prove that you can meet your current financial obligations.

Education: must be a high school graduate, have earned a GED or have met other high school equivalency requirements to enlist in the Navy.

Drug/Alcohol Policy: The Navy has a zero tolerance drug/alcohol policy.

He wasn't asking for the requirements. I'm sure he knows that. He was asking if he could keep dual citizenship.

I believe you can't, but I also only heard it from someone. Call your embassy and see what they say. Good luck!!!

You can't join the Navy if you are not at least a US permanent resident.

Who said he isn't a permanent resident? He was talking about citizenship .... !!! Meaning net step after becoming a resident!

Even if it's okay by the rules, I wouldn't do it, it can look like he is trying to use it to his advantage to influence the officer.

True.

There ae rules about the "use" of your military uniform. It is best if he doesn't try wearing it to influence an interview at a government office. It might be seen as the misuse of his uniform and get him into trouble.

Not true! You can wear it to the interview if he wants. It won't be a 'misuse' (never heard of that b/c people even go out in theirs on weekends!) It's a government official agengcy!

Why are you do worried? He threatens to report your husband to USCIS and if he's here legal, than there's nothing to worry about. It sounds a little to dramatic.

Don't bother reporting him to any immigration soure, they won't do anything! They won't stop him at POE and question him about any 'threats' he made to you. It's not like he is a terrorist. There's no need to! Just ignore the texts and if he does show up at your house, then call 911. It was just a simple text, probably out of anger & more likely not a real threat.

It's your husbands son! You are acting like he's a stranger. The military needs very often all kind of background information about anybody in the family. Wait until he needs his clearance, they'll check your background too. It's needed and you will have to roll with it if you want him to keep his job!

Sandranj pointed out: OP mis-termed the "union". It was not cultural/religious "arranged marriage"; it was an arrangement of visa fraud. The bride had multiple grooms. Even so, OP should be treated calmly - never a reason to bring anyone down for seeking legal advice.

My personal take: only the young man himself will choose his path. He has no ties in the US, which makes his choice easy. When I was unattached, I'd pick up and go with one suitcase - clear across the world - for a job/biz/academic prospect

The OP stated it was an arranged marriage. No need to assume anything else! She didn't have multiple grooms, what are you talking about?!? She has a boyfriend ... I am sure her husband didn't know about that.

You are just twisting the words of the OP, that's how this story gets totally lost!!!! None of the things you said can be assumed from the OP.

Depressed because ? Was his intent to live with his wife or just go to US ? Only thing he should do is leave US - this whole case screams fraud (arranged marriage ?) Fortunately is his position he has no way of legally living in US.

You ever thought about it, that maybe shescrewed him over & he wanted to make it work genuinely and had no other choice to live separate in the beginning and maybe still holding on to the thought to make it work? Maybe that's the reason why he didn't wanna leave?!? Judgmental times 10!

Come on people, you are jumping on that situation because they stated, that they never loved each other. It was an ARRANGED MARRIAGE!!! Happens sooo many times here (many other VJ'sdibs the same because it's normal in their culture!) & you can't expect them to love each other ... They have to learn to love eachother. But as soon as somebody can scream scam or fraud you are in. But I do have an opinion about it & have to agree with most of them, that your brother should return home. It's not worth fighting for something that he's not able to win. I am so sorry about his situation!

You need to make sure, you are on his orders. If you are on his orders, you don't have to worry about AP. moving with him and staying with him is still considering being in the states. The time also goes forwards your naturalization. So no need to worry, but like I stated above, you NEED to be on his military orders.

I personally think you can do all the paperwork without a lawyer, if your case isn't tooooo complicated (which isn't mot I the time)

People are judging here to quickly. Maybe she left for a good reason?!? People indicate she tries to scam him. Maybe she realized she didn't love him? Or maybe he wasn't the same person anymore when she got here. He thinks shes still in the states, WHO CARES? There are multiple plausible reasons.. Who knows .... We should judge anybody so fast, but I've seen in sooo many times on VJ.

what happened? You don't need to worry. Be careful if she wants to come back to you. She might try to get a green card by VAWA. Ok just be careful

She can't use VAWA!!! They didn't get married. There are no legal ties to her fiancé (ex-fiancé)

No need to report her. She can't marry anybody else then the original fiancé, that bought her to the US. She will become an illegal immigrant after 90 days from the ari al date anyways .... No need to worry, just let it go and move on.

Yes, I've already been a permanent resident for over 2 years. Getting the social security card was pretty simple once you have your work permit. Just go to the Social Security office and apply for one. You should get your card within two weeks after that. It was about a 5 hour wait at the Social Security Office tho, so depending of where you live just know that it make take you a while.

You don't have to wait until you actual card arrives. I went one day after I applied for a SSN to their office and got a print out with my number, their stamp & signature on a piece of paper. Good enough if you don't wanna wait a week or so until the phisical crd arrives.

You can't get that per email! You have to sign the document infront of them.

And I talked to the consulate too. They couldn't help me much because I didn't have my greencard in my hand yet.

And I can only get that in person once im back in berlin, right?

Yes. I did that in a couple of days all together. First, the name change, then to get a new passport (takes only 3 days) & the same day I got my passport the 'abmeldebescheinigung'

But you can also just get the last thing and get everything else done in the states at the embassy.

The adress, where you wanna get the travel document send. I assume, you want it to be send to your adress overseas? Or do you wanna pick it up somewhere else?

PS: I just talked to my husband. He said, that marrying you from Canada won't have an impact on his clearance. But lying or hiding the fact you have a relationship, being engaged & getting married will. He wont pass his clearance, if he lies or hides something.

My husband gets his top secret right now (it wasnt a big deal, just takes a little longer) but he has to admit the relationship with you & the marriage, if you do get married. theres a difference between Canada & a third world country. There's no way you gonna be able to 'hide' a marriage anyways .... Not in your security clearance. They are going through his entire life ...
