applied for the social number after 10 days from arrival...
I used the receipt from the social security administration to apply for the driving licence
passed the knowledge and vision tests
issued a temporary driving licence...TEMP INSTR PERMIT ID

yeah... it was cancelled....
and it looks forged too....

POE review:
Chicago, O'Hare
Excellent
Smooth
5 stars
After reaching counters, my file was put is a pink folder, i was asked to head to exit number 2....

Waited for my turn
There were about five pink files on the line, time of processing each varies according to the number of family members...
I was alone, so mine took less than one minute, including filling a change of address application "to which I want my green card to be sent", as my family moved recently to a new address
Asked again to head to exit number 4...inspection
Then I was out for my next flight...
The most shocking thing..... I was informed that I have to complete 10 full calendar days to be able to apply for the social security number...
Someone on a short vacation like me should be aware of this...extending vacation is too crucial back in the country where I live...so please pay good attention to this
Good luck everyone...

thank you all.

I went there this morning, they kicked me out.....

ok..part of it was my mistake....
then..... 5 dollars?
come on...

hahaha
but I told you to try after a week.
Patience, brother. They are government workers... genetic cousins to the sloth and snail.

Congratulations I'm very glad that you had a smooth POE experience.
You can try to apply for the Social Security earlier. They say 10 days because sometimes it takes that long to get the info in the system. But sometimes they work faster - I have seen some on VJ who applied within a few days of arriving and got it. The worst that could happen is they say "don't have your info yet, come back later." Maybe try after a week.

welcome to America!!!

Heehee Uncle Skunkle
I swear I didn't think they were any of your relatives
But if you could let them know how great the yard is a few blocks over, I would appreciate it
We are starting to dry out after all the storms and flooding.
Orange Hibiscus.... blooms were rained on, so they're a little mottled


White crinum lilies coming up now... several weeks after the pink ones

Cannas


This is some kind of extremely drought-hardy tradescantia. It's an heirloom plant; you don't see them much at the nursery. But many people here try to find it - usually by getting a cutting from an older established garden. It's almost indestructible from heat or drought, and it even blooms a tiny purple flower.

Pics !!!!!!!!!!!

Hmmmmmmmm
Got any peeps over at the Royal Botanic Garden ?

Falastin_Qalbi:

You want me to ask the varmints to go to another place....
because i am their uncle???

Thank you brother Rami
But you predicted that I should expect other creatures to come.... and now they came I saw a big ole raccoon this morning. Can you please request that the possums and skunks and other varmints go to another place ?
Orchids....

Falastin_Qalbi
they are just another creatures that could not resist you paradise....
you can expect more... from different kinds...
not only humans like us
you fans are growing...

We had a long cool spring as well.... it made everything so late. I can't wait to see your irises
Here are today's garden picks:
Orange echinacea

Regular old echinacea (purple coneflowers)

The vitex is covered with buttlerflies

These guys would not sit still on the flower, they just kept flapping their wings so the pics do not do them justice - very beautiful blue & black


More daylilies blooming

Mexican oregano (this is a very fragrant and savory variety which is excellent for cooking)

Rock rose peeking through the Mexican oregano

Falastin_Qalbi:
these black flowers are very beautiful....
it is the black that shines...
before you had the Black Iris.... and now these black flowers....
there is a black trend here...

Hehe thank you brother
Hopefully you will be able to manage your addiction better than I can

Thanks brother
I could not resist the opportunity to throw in a lil something for the tatreez afficionados

What we probably need right about now is more pics of the black iris.....
this is just off the net:

Well this isn't a black iris, but it's an almost-black something


Aeonium "Voodoo"
