Rickmt57 Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 My wife is coming in less then 2 weeks on a CR-1 visa what are the next steps?Can someone tell me where there is a list of things we need to do yet. Thanks Link to comment
MikeXiao Posted July 14, 2007 Report Share Posted July 14, 2007 She's coming CR-1? The biggest thing to do, is get the application filed for the SSN. Then take her to the nearest Asian market, so she can get some food that she is accustomed to. There is not much to do for the paperwork until the "90 days prior to the 2 year anniversary of entry into the US" time. Link to comment

Thanks looks like we are in the same boat. i guess she has to get EAD (employment authorization) first, BEFORE you can apply for SSN. insane if you ask me. http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=25878 Link to comment

MikeXiao Posted July 15, 2007 Report Share Posted July 15, 2007 What Randy said is right. With the CR-1, no EAD is necessary. Just apply for the SSN. Link to comment
Rickmt57 Posted July 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2007 So if I take this all right, we can go down and apply for a SS card as soon as she gets here and wait for the green card to come in the mail? How long will that take? What about travel out of the country I assume we need to wait for the green card? Is there a list of things we need to do or how things actually work posted somewhere. I dont know if they gave my wife instruction or something with here visa I didnt ask... We live right next to the Canandian border and with Vancouver less then an hour away with their big Chinese area it will be a good place for her to get things she likes. Thanks, Link to comment
