Good morning Yardies:
Happy St. Patrick's Day...
Today Im feeling melacholy, not sad, but today is my late mother's birthday. She would have been 66. She died from a rare form of liver cancer and she also suffered from IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) I know her "Irish" eyes are smiling down on us though.
Thank you for all the love and support about my dad. He is a fighter and he will keep fighting. Not to mention he is about to have surgery AGAIN on his wrists for Carpel tunnel this makes surgery #17 He also is about to have his knee replaced AGAIN. He was only supposed to have it in for 12 years, he has had his in for 15 years. He takes a lickin and keeps on tickin'!!!
Good morning, I hope your day and mood improves

The Application Process:
:: For K1 Visa Holders ::
As a K-1 Visa Holder you are eligible to receive a SSN upon producing a valid I-94 (unexpired). Do
not wait until you only have a few weeks left until your I-94 expires to file for a SSN. Many SSA
offices will not allow you to file for a SSN if your I-94 is about to expire (generally 14 days prior
to the expiration on your I-94). On the other hand, you should also not file for a SSN too soon either.
You should wait 2 weeks after you arrived in the US before applying for a SSN. If you go too soon your
record of arrival will not be in the SAVE-ASVI system yet, and it will require manual verification from the
USCIS. As this will add weeks to the period it takes to process the SSN, it is advisable to attempt to wait the two weeks to be safe. If you have waited the 2 weeks and they tell you they can not verify you arrival record via the SAVE database, you may allow them to to process it (but remember the potential delay for manual verifications). You can ask if they will check the computer again for you in a few days or return personally to have them look again -- thus eliminating the manual verification. The manual verification will require the SSA office to file a G-845 with the USCIS.
To apply for a SSN you will need to go to your local SSA office and bring the documents below. These
documents are proof of your eligibility to file for a SSN:
1.

The SS-5 form you downloaded and filled out (they have some at the office if you forget).
2.

your Passport (with the K-1 Visa in it)
3.

your valid I-94
4.

another form of valid ID (as defined in the SS-5 instructions)
5.

You should also bring the document RM 00203.500 that you printed out
Make sure to bring all the documents above because some offices have staff that are not aware
that a K-1 Visa Holder is eligible to file for a SSN. A friendly reminder is a nice thing to have -- if not
you could be turned away incorrectly.
Once you have successfully applied for your SSN, the SSN card will come in the mail in about 2 weeks. You can check on the status of the SSN application and/or often get the SSN in advance by returning in person (try calling) to the SSA office. If you need your SSN before it arrives in the mail you may ask them for an SSA-7028, Notice to Third Party of Social Security Number Assignments, to be sent to your employer or other interested third party once a SSN has been assigned. Your card, when you receive it, will be marked with the words "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH INS AUTHORIZATION" indicating to an employer that you must also have an unexpired EAD to be eligible to work.

MrsTee I hope you feel better, think happy memories of her!
I wouldn't stop until I found what I was looking for.
Here's the link to the guides on a k-1 visa on uscis's website: http://travel.state.....html#Immigrant
Under "How to Apply for a Social Security Number Card
After your fiancé(e) has been admitted into the United States, he/she can apply for a social security number card by visiting one of the Social Security offices in your local area. To learn about how-to-apply, visit the website for the Social Security Administration." click on the link and that page can be printed and taken to the SSA office.
This is the link to get to the SSA website:http://ssa-custhelp....php?p_faqid=576
and from there, click Social Security Numbers For Noncitizens and that can be printed as well because it is more specific
MrsTee just saw your post, it's more informative than mine but where did you find it so I can print it? Thanks

Goodmorning yardies,
my wife is coming this week from ja and im anxious to see her. i told her about the atl airport and what to expext cause one could get lost there, but i know she will find her way around.
seriously, i have been debating whether i should take the weekend off(sat and sun) to spend time with my wife and attend church.

Good Morning & Happy Monday.
SHemmy .. try the maple flavored ones..they are good! And if you break them up and put in with eggs.. good ommlette.
Myjam.. you should take the weekend off. You must celebrate!!
I slept until 8:30 both Sat & Sun.. it was so nice to wake up on my own and now be woken! SOOOOO nice! With the time change I technically slept until 9:30 on Sunday.
Now just waiting for the week to fly by. 1/2 day friday and Tierra's birthday! I cannot wait to see all the dressed up little girls. And it is supposed to be 60 and sunny! Outside photo op!! lOL

Sounds Good. I'm sure someone will direct her at the airport. If you have the time, take off and spend it with her because the first couple of days to me were the best. Enjoy!

She is definitely in my prayers

I went out with my sister on Sun morning and came back home and got back in bed with hubby and stayed there until 5pm. Then cooked dinner and at 7:20pn we decided to go to the movies and it started at 7:50. lol We went to see She's out of my league. It was good. Very funny!
Can't wait to see the pictures from Tierra's party. This is going to be a long week.

Dada you got this! I know how much you struggled with this change but you are taking control of your destiny and I am so proud of you! You go girl
