Also, going right away, she might not be in the system yet, so they wouldn't be able to issue one anyways. Just wait 3 weeks as the card can be issued and sent before then.Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-66277452228250125692013-06-05T20:46:58.853-04:002013-06-05T20:46:58.853-04:00If we apply for the SSN at the SSN office before ...If we apply for the SSN at the SSN office before the 3 weeks will there be any confusion, cause delay or will two SSN be issued?

Now once she arrives in the US should i wait the 3 weeks to see if we will get the SSN card or should I take her to the SSN office right away and apply in person? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-11553816885718564552012-01-03T22:36:48.343-05:002012-01-03T22:36:48.343-05:00No problem! :)No problem! :)Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-17408679860236669492012-01-03T22:30:44.942-05:002012-01-03T22:30:44.942-05:00hey thanks a lot! i appreciate it!=)hey thanks a lot! i appreciate it!=)runningtinderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567732974930222862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-6959545025964722502012-01-03T21:54:22.291-05:002012-01-03T21:54:22.291-05:00Yes, since it's been more than 3 weeks since y...Yes, since it's been more than 3 weeks since your POE, get your butt to your local SSA office to apply. Make sure to bring your passport, birth certificate, marriage certificate and green card if you've gotten it already. Once you apply, it'll be about a week or two to receive it in the mail.Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-28112902066401330312012-01-03T21:49:36.485-05:002012-01-03T21:49:36.485-05:00im so glad i read your post. ive been waiting for ...im so glad i read your post. ive been waiting for the ssn card since poe. i remember checking the box asking whether i wanted them to give me an ssn once i get my card. but its been over 4 weeks since i arrived and i havent received the ssn card. <br /><br />ill be going to the ssn office tomorrow so i apply for mine. thanks for this informational post.runningtinderahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13567732974930222862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-86227293708095438032011-06-13T12:38:27.824-04:002011-06-13T12:38:27.824-04:00Yeah, it'd probably be better if you didn'...Yeah, it'd probably be better if you didn't check off the SSN question on the DS-230. You'd still have to wait maybe a week just for USCIS to get the paperwork from POE and put her in the system, but you won't have to wait like 3 weeks like I did.<br /><br />As for the residency question, it's just a tech school and not a college or university anything. They're really tiny, and they don't seem picky at all. There's no question on the application about whether I'm a resident. They only ask if I'm a US citizen. And looking at their tuition costs, they don't even have a separate column for out-of-state residents, so I think I'm fine. Thanks though for mentioning it, I hadn't even thought about that. Glad the school I'm going to isn't strict :)Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-39903346027414655942011-06-13T11:00:03.935-04:002011-06-13T11:00:03.935-04:00So from your experiences when my wife has her inte...So from your experiences when my wife has her interview in Montreal in July and they make us fill out the manual DS-230, I will have her leave the SSN checkmarks as no. And just do it manually as soon as we get back. I know we can get it way faster on our own here.<br /><br />Also if your going to school you should check the residency requirements at your local college!<br /><br />They often require a year of living there before they consider you a resident, and that could mean the difference of 1000 a semester local vs 5000 as "out of state" resident!Blakenoreply@blogger.com
