As soon as you get your SSN, you can legally start to work :)<br /><br />And d'oh on the name >_< USCIS never ceases to amaze me with their silly mistakes.<br /><br />As for RoC (Removal of Conditions), if you stick with my blog, I'll be back in less than 2 years and explaining all the steps as well, so that should help you out when it's your time :)Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-23673013808467867102011-10-13T16:57:34.379-04:002011-10-13T16:57:34.379-04:00Hey again!

Just thought I'd let you know I got a very exciting letter in the mail today from the SSA...which was a statement letting me know my SSN was on the way. Ha ha. I just had to laugh. 2 more weeks, and it should be here. I did finally get through to someone on USCIS (after I believe I just pushed random buttons), and they suggested I do an InfoPass meeting. I went, and they said everything looks okay, and it should be here soon. About the name - they put my middle name as part of my first name. For example, it should be "Catharine E.", but instead, they put it as "Catharine Elisabeth"... Sigh. Never ending drama. Thanks for the tidbit about the "filing to remove conditions", the agent at the InfoPass meeting said the same thing. I figured that seemed more right, too. Thanks again for all of you help. Good luck!Catharinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02846388773128639941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-58054034137272851372011-09-27T20:28:10.023-04:002011-09-27T20:28:10.023-04:00It's not 90 days before your wedding anniversa...It's not 90 days before your wedding anniversary. That doesn't make sense as some people have been married for years before even applying for a visa! It's 90 days before your conditional green card expires (which is two years from POE). So, for example, I crossed to the US in May 2011, so I'll be filing sometime in February 2013. <br /><br />Hmm, I wonder how the border guard messed up your name. But if they did, then it's definitely gonna affect getting your SSN and the green card. I would suggest calling USCIS, but I don't know the numbers or the prompts you have to press to get to a person.Saylinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10384784489793072175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8301419225298337668.post-31640360804485683182011-09-27T18:28:12.267-04:002011-09-27T18:28:12.267-04:00*I meant to say, "When are you filing to remo...*I meant to say, "When are you filing to remove the conditions"? Oh yes, and my other question - my SSN hasn't arrived yet (I've been here for a month today), so I went to the SSA office last week to apply in person. They said another 4 - 6 weeks, as the border guard messed up on my name! (Hence why it wasn't processed..ugh!). Anyway, I also haven't received my permanent residency card yet. Any ideas on who I can call? I tried DoHS, but they just transferred me to the USCIS line where I couldn't talk to anyone.

Me again... (ha ha). Congrats on the card!
So...Hey! Me again... (ha ha). Congrats on the card!<br />So, I have a few questions. You are a CR-1, just like me. When you are filing to remove the conditions? I have heard different things, such as 90 days before your two year wedding anniversary (which is what I have heard the most, particularly from the border guard who did my paperwork), or more recently, 90 days "immediately before the second anniversary of the date you were accorded conditional resident status" (<--direct quote from the I-751 instructions). What to do, what to do? I miss my chats with the NVC everyday!
