    What to carry for PP

    Photographs You can carry the ADIT-stayle photographs (two per person) with you to save time, but make sure they conform with the requirements. If you are taking children along, keep some snacks handy, just in case. There is a cafeteria inside (FYI). I am not sure if any procedures changed...

    question on PP stamping

    Yes, everybody I took my 7-yr old for stamping; Her fingerprint was taken and she was asked to print her name in the I-90 form. I suggest you take your son along (and something to munch for him, in case he gets restlessness due to the wait). Good luck. This is not legal advice.

    About Social Security, and Medicare Tax

    I agree with twilo2000 If the intent is to stay longer in the U.S , it is to your friend's benefit that the SS tax and medicare taxes are paid. The wordings that leads one to believe that an employer provides social security or medicare benefits look incorrect. I believe it is the government...

    Look for the thread I believe you need to look in 'life after green card' forum. There is atleast one useful thread that talks about what you need to do. Try searching on some keywords like SSN/ Social security/ I-9. As far as I can tell: 1. You need to re-apply for the social security...
