Turbo SS1414

thanks everyone. Can you renew a SS card online? I will try that if possible. Much better than sitting there for 2 hours waiting for you number to be called.

Is the EAD that work authorization letter? Thats the only thing I have since the biometrics. We tried taking the expired SS card to the DMV and they said no way she needs the welcome letter you get after biometrics. Her SS card does have an expiration date. It says "expires 10/21/2011." Thanks so far for your input.

Ok my wife did the biometrics back in late november. In March we got the work authorization letter along with the letter saying our form was send to CSC. However, she has not been able to get any kind of valid id except the work authorization piece. She had a SS card when she got here along with a learners permit. Those both expired when her visa expired in October. The dmv was telling me we have to wait for the welcome letter to get new id. So Anyway its now late June and she hasnt had a valid id since November. Am I missing something? It would be nice if she could get her learners permit renewed so she could take drivers ed and not be stuck at home all day. I am in Oklahoma btw.

We got married last week. I am trying to get the I-485 submitted and trying to get her on my work benefits at the same time. I have a couple of questions 1. She has a SS#. Will she get a new number now that we are married? Does the SS office require that we are through the I-485 process before they will give her a new one or do they just need to see a marriage certificate? 2. What is the current fee I need to send in with the I-485 application. I cant seem to find an updated fee chart? I think thats it for now. Probably will have more questions later.

and I came home with a Chinese!!! http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk193/ckemendo/289571_10150327217850240_598830239_9735063_3336696_o.jpg As you can see I already put her to work! She arrived July 26th and has been adjusting well. This is actually my first day back to work. I have been really busy helping her settle in. Some observations so far I live in the middle of my city but at first she thought I lived in the countryside. She seems to like most american food but still doesnt like ice in her drink or anything too sweet. She says its very peaceful here. no people and not much traffic (compared to china) She has trouble understand many of my friends and family's English. I let her drive for the first time ever in a large parking lot. She almost hit a pole haha. she liked it but said it was really stressful. Here is another picture more up close of her since that one is blurry http://i280.photobucket.com/albums/kk193/ckemendo/stephanie3.jpg My friend and his chinese wife arrived the exact same day as Jia. His wife is having a harder time adjusting. They live with his parents in the countryside near fayetteville in a very large house on alot of land. She didnt want to move here in the first place though. We actually visited them in Arkansas and Jia took many pictures of the countryside. She really liked and enjoyed being able to see the stars at night. Both girls tried to drive my friends tractor used for mowing but they were too light for the deadman's safety so the tractor would not move for them.

Great news Bullmastif. Sounds like so far so good for July. When is your interview tsap?

Jia said her interview was really easy and the other girls waiting were so surprised how quick it was for her and that she only had to show a couple of things to the interviewer. But we also fit their guidlines pretty well I think. No possible red flags that I can think of at all. Where did you meet? online Who helped you fill out the form? my fiance When did your fiance come to see you? Dec 09 the first time and June 10 the second time Did he come to see you this year? no Where did we travel when he came to see you? shenzhen, hong kong, Bali Do you have some pictures? she showed several pictures Did your fiance meet your parents? yes Does your fiance speak chinese? no Where did you learn to speak english? highschool and college What was your major in college (strange question to me)? Chinese culture and education Are you a communist? no Then she just said congratulations and gave her the pink slip.

Thanks. She passed and said the questions were pretty easy ones. yay! Good luck to you!

My girl has to be a the consulate in about 3 hours for her interview. I am getting nervous now and I hope I am still awake tonight when she emails me the result. Hopefully she passes and I can start everyone's month out with good luck!

Just called the DOS this morning and got an interview date. Jia's interview is June 30th. I was hoping it would be sooner than that since alot of people having been getting quick interviews right after they find out the date. But oh well I am just happy to finally know a day!

I am glad you asked this question OP. I actually just got off the phone with the DOS. She emailed her packet a couple of weeks ago and the DOS says guanzhou still hasnt received it. I will email Guanzhou and see if they have received it or not

Should I go ahead and get the financial stuff ready and send it to her or wait until she gets packet 4? I forgot

I just called them today too. My application left the NVC on April 12th and they sent out packet 3 today. The NVC had given met the wrong case number at first though so we werent able to update the address before P3 was sent out. No biggie because she did a self generated P3 and will submit an address change with the correct case number as soon as she reads my email. Anyway, March 23rd sounds like way too long to wait. Is it still stuck in security? Are you a spy? Good luck!

And everyone that has quoted MLK I have given this quote Listen, and understand. That terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead. -Kyle Reese Sergeant Techcom, DN38416, 132nd under Perry BTW it was discovered that that MLK quote isnt even a real quote by him. Its a mix of one of his quotes butchered by some girl on Twitter that added her own words.
