His job is in the process of applying for the visa and in the meantime, he would like to apply at the green card lottery. Im sure this has been discussed before and back then, I remember...

    Social security number and credit cards after green card

    Oh ok great! Thank you for the link Susie. I did do AOS and yes, I believe I went to the SSoffice for that exact reason. I remember showing them my green card to prove I had become a permanent resident. I have been on creditkarma for a couple years now. Everything looks fine on there as far as...

    Social security number and credit cards after green card

    Even on mint.com, they are unable to access my information through my SSN. Also, it isn't associated with any state as the first 3 digits fall in the 741-749 range. Edit: I just found out that a social security number starting with a 7 is considered a nonresidential alien! Which would make...

    Social security number and credit cards after green card

    I have creditkarma and I have started building credit back in 2013. I have an excellent score. I initially obtained my SSC when I started working under my F-1 visa. Once I got my green card, I was told I had to go back to the social security office to remove some limitation on my SS, but I was...

    Social security number and credit cards after green card

    Hello, I have had my green card for 2 and a half years now, however, any time I apply for a new credit card (or even any time my social security card number needs to be checked for credit score, for example a new phone plan), I can never be instantly approved and I am sent to secondary check or...

    Some advice about money in the USA for new immigrants

    This is what I did but when I created my account I had two months to pick a plan and the 2 months started from the date of my AOS. If it's already been over 2 months since you (@jasmine) became a permanent resident, I believe you will have to wait for the next open enrollment period which should...

    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    My application has finally been approved! Strangely I didn't receive any text message when my case status changed yesterday. Today I thought my officer did not do anything with my application today again. I tried to get an info pass and no appointments were available so I called USCIS and the...

    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    So I went to my info pass this morning. After some confusion in the beginning because the system apparently showed that my file had been transferred to a different officer, the person at the desk went and talked to the officer that interviewed me. She came back and said that the officer received...

    DV 2014 AOS Only - New Thread

    I am still waiting for my case to be finalized. Like mom once said regarding officers who don't request the file from KCC prior to the interview, my file has probably been pushed down the pile of other cases. I have already set up an infopass for this coming wednesday so hopefully something will...
