Hi all , 1 week now ,things start moving slowly Spoke to few banks to open new account ,chase agree to open without SSN but they need proof of address . As living with family currently ,what's the quickest way which can help to get proof of address ? Otherwise have to wait till get SsN post ,I believe that's the first post you will get ,right ?

I was juggling whole day and here is the lesson learned . As in few categories ,where you fill ds-260 and you tick that my SSN should process ,then DHS get your details at the port of entry for both green card and SSN card . System takes 5 working days when DHS send request to SSA to generate SSN . I spoke to SSA main office ,there is no official waiting time (7 days or 10 days or 4 weeks ) ,advisor just push you back to ensure there shouldn't be 2 request for SSN So check your DS 260 ,if you requested SSN then you don't need to visit SSA office .wait for 2 weeks for your SSN and 90 days for your card .

Finally we reached yesterday ,today went to nearest office for SSN number application but they said you need to wait for 4 weeks before applying . Can anyone confirm that it's correct ?

In USA ,you need medical insurance incase you need any health support or emergency . Travel insurance cover only travel or emergency medical health issue So on safeside ,you need min one or both from day 1 untill tyou sort out health insurance through your employer or you buy policy through marketplace (you need SSN for that to apply ) . I heard in few states ,discounted medical insurance available for new immigrants (where no waiting period ) as you classes as low income in first year till you submit first tax return .

Hi all , Any advice about travel and medical insurance ? Better to get travel insurance only ? Any new immigrant medical insurance ?

Hi all , We are planning to leave in few weeks ,can we schedule /walk-in SSN appointment on any location or it should be city /state where we want to deliver our SSN and GC ? I don't want to delay as want to open bank acc and it's required for work as well. We are staying first week with in-laws and then going to my family in different state where I want to deliver my post . Appreciate quick answer .
