If your social security took that long out of my experience go back

I waited five weeks to find out about mine and had to go back into the office to find out the woman did it all wrong

Take all your documents again and basically reapply

If they say 'they're waiting on the dhs' that means it's lost basically the manager told me

Your best bet is to ask for your manager at your local social security office

I hope this helps, don't waste anytime waiting because I did the same thing and it was all for nothing!

I wouldn't believe the time frames written there

San Antonio tx says its at August 2015 and we got approved last month

I really think it's luck of the day you sent plus whose desk pile it ends up on ):

I hope you all get approvals soon! Crossing my fingers for you all

& congratulations to others recently approved

I hope the end is in site for y'all

Thank you for the response!

I know it wouldn't take 6 weeks but that's the amount of time they have before my ssc office can follow up which is ridiculous ):

Nothing I can do apparently either which sucks

And I'll definitely try that the office I went to didn't have a clue about how to do it so thank you for that!

Feel like there's always something going against us

The support here tho really helps

Congrats to the recent approvals!!!

I have a question for anyone that's done this already, how long did it take for your social security card to have a name change?

I keep getting the most ridiculous responses of oh six weeks when on my letter it said four and no matter who ispeak to I get no straight answer!

Just wanted to see if anyone is in the same boat

I'm screwed waiting for it coz the driving test center won't let me take the test without the actual card one wait after another !

Congratulation to all the approvals! I swear there is no logic in how it works

It's like did you land on a fast desk or a slow desk

Out of the blue today we just got our green card approved.

No rfe no interview and straight into production

Maybe a little bit of good karma from how long we had to wait with the k1 visa ?

So excited though and hope it's one of many to come from today! Good luck to everyone waiting

It'll happen when you least expect it! So don't give up hope

Congrats on the green card!

We received our ead combo card after three days

It went into production then we got an update saying it was sent and another when it had been delivered

That part was actually really fast compared to the rest

Good luck to everyone else I hope it's good news soon!

Ok perfect thank you all!

I'll definitely take that on board and wait til a later time to do it

Everything's already more complicated without me adding to it haha!

If anyone has any Advice on name change for a uk citizen passport to married name. Any help would be amazing I'm getting so confused !

I've been trying to look into it and can't find much information and what I do find I get a little confused

Is it best to wait until green card is approved or to do while awaiting?

Woohoo out card is in production! And ap approved the same day. (Yesterday's date)

We received no text or email luckily my husband checked this morning and saw!

Hey guys wishing everyone the best with the progress!

And good luck for any interviews

I was just wandering if anyone who has already filed paperwork for aos has looking into changing their passport due to name change once here?

I'm not sure when the best time is to do it so any advice would be greatly appreciated

Congrats it's about time that's such a long time to wait.

Hope it's sooner rather than later for you both

hey i went to change my name with social security today and got a direct no! apparently because my visa is now out of date i can't change it, i didn't know if any of you guys needed to change this but if you do try and do it before your visa is out of date or you have to wait for your ead to be in hand for it to be changed to married name which obviously effects applying for jobs and working because it all needs to match up!

hey guys, I'm a little confused and I'm nearly ready to file my AOS package but not sure where to ask this but

did you all do a I-693 when you submitted your package?

I can't find a direct yes or no answer, my medical was only done in may so its within six months

don't want to send it off and then find out i do!

Thank you for any help!

I moved to san antonio and i really can't get my head around how rude and obnoxious people will be right to you.

My fiance and his family are hispanic and i get dirty looks when i go to the shop with his mum and dad.

They make snide comments and i constantly get asked " are you sure you're ok"

like I'm being kidnapped or something! it literally drives me wild.

Or when you go in a shop and you get hounded by about 10 different people continuously.

you never realise how laid back and polite the uk is until here.

i hope you find more comfort in austin, if it wasn't for the fact my fiance had a giant family I'm not sure how i would be coping because they're the only people who seem to not be judgemental like that.

i know this might sound stupid but have you tried to join any clubs?

I'm looking into joining a few to try and find people with a similar mind set then hopefully that will show there are some other good ones out here!

My poe was austin and to anyone thats flying there its hilarious they've clearly never done that kind of visa much before

i got taken into a back room which was clearly there break room/office/old stuff room and got told to sit with all the officers on break

i could then hear them all talking amongst themselves trying to figure out what to do with the paper work and they said they'd only recently had training on it

all in all took about 30 minutes from the front desk to done so would recommend if anyones thinking to fly there as poe!

So i applied for my ssn last friday and after reading up and thankfully to all the information on here i managed to breeze through it

The guy who i had to speak to had no idea what a k1 was he went "i think I've heard of one of these before but ill just look it up online"

after i explained it to him he just looked it up and bam all done not much hassle at all really thankfully!

hopefully the rest of the processes are just as easy

we're flying in today our point of entry is austin i wander if they've done a k1 yet tiniest airport in the world!

Will write a review when we're there

when you receive packet 4 with your time and date it shows you the instructions of how to pay i don't think you can do this before.

gosh they don't like to make everyone starting out have a whole lot against them!

oh gosh thank god you told me that coz i was looking at uk insurance!
