lostinblue Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 Did you try? The SSN IS permanent and won't change after she gets a green card, or citizenship. The "Not Valid for " blah-blah-blah notation is virtually meaningless She should be able to get a State ID, or even a driver's license once she gets her EAD, unless your state has some VERY unusual requirements. No, I haven't tried yet. I'm just now learning that it may be necessary. It's good to know the SSN won't change. The State ID expired on the same day as her visa. (But, she still carries the card.) We'll get it renewed after AOS. I'm about to go to the state vehicle auction and try to get a cheap, newer car for her and our son. I thought about putting that in both of our names, but, I'm worried about liability. The likelihood of two Chinese people with absolutely no driving experience in either country making a mistake is rather high. If it's in her son's name, he is legally an adult and has no assets to be taken. I do have a joint credit card with Li. But, she's old fashioned (an endearing aspect, IMO) and mostly refuses to use it.http://personalinsure.about.com/cs/umbrella/a/aa110503a.htm You need an umbrella insurance policy 1million dollar policy Link to comment
Richard & Li Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 You need an umbrella insurance policy 1million dollar policy Thanks! That might be just the ticket! I'll look into it further. Link to comment
Richard & Li Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 These (house ownership/rental-lease documents, utility bills, car titles, insurance documents, bank accounts, etc) are basic 'VALID RELATIONSHIP' requirements and have been discussed Ad nauseam. They are also incredibly easy to do. Quit claim or title change or whatever. Unless of course you don't trust her, and or, don't want her to own anything. After all, that's the basis of a valid relationship. Isn't it? "My" (don't you mean our?) utility bills are also all done on line. So, they still send a paper copy, maybe not only because I asked for them. The water bill will only allow one name. So, I put the mailing address in her name. For another bill I can only put her on the address label as to me, in care of (C/O) her. My cars' titles were changed in one day with the change in my hand when I left the office. Bank accounts, hell, whatever, they are all easy to change. Trouble is, you have to want (and then take the effort) TO DO IT! Excuse us for having a converation that others (not us) have had before. Why did you even open this thread? Link to comment
Richard & Li Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 Note you are NOT in a similar situation YET, you are at the AOS stage and have not yet receive the 2 year CR-Green-Card. You will have 2 years after getting the CR-Green-Card to take care of getting un-restricted SSN, and getting your spouse added to deeds, bills, insurances, etc... You need to show this when you file I-751 to remove the conditions on the 2 year green-card. Thanks for clearing up the obvious. That helps! Link to comment
