  1. IRS said: "If you qualify for a social security number, you should not be applying for an ITIN."
  2. How long does it take to receive either an EAD or GC? Do we request it on the application or go through the SS office again? Also, if it takes more than 4 months, cannot do taxes without a SSN? thanks!!!
  3. Hello, She has entered here Oct 9. We called the Soc Sec office and got an appt for Nov. 30. We were told that all was in order and we get the SSN by mail soon. WE got married in the meantime. We just called the office and found out that they lost our docs and didn't process. They made another appt for Jan 13. But this is outside the I-94 validity. What do we do? Is it too late to re-do (Their mistake, anyway)? I don't want to do it through the AOS paperwork due to delays. Thanks!!
  4. OK, so this bites, and everybody is emotional. And for a good reason—some have been waiting and suffering for a long time. But it was hard to complain since closed embassies had an excuse—Covid. Now, if one (Moscow) embassy is completely closed to visa processing, the State Dept. should live up to their own recent declarations about prioritizing K-1s by transferring them to open embassies. I have tried talking to the State Dept. in DC. I don’t have the leverage. Who does? The press. Any government agency is afraid of the bad press. So, anybody who has been waiting for a year may want to think about contacting their local TV news. This story has everything that local news love to feature: love, covid, suffering, uncaring bureaucrats. Once the word gets out, the State dept will be forced to act. We have all seen government agencies act very quickly once such criticism goes public. Contacting lawyers and senators may be useful too, but slower. In any case, there are plenty of useful tools. No time for despair.
