No Title You can very well use her SSN rather than TIN. Nothing stops you in doing that. In many states, SSN is required even for the drivers licences. So, it is very common to have SSN on H4 status.

No Title If your spouce hasn\'t yet started on the job then you should file with her status being on H4 as of now. Just getting a i-797 approval notice doesn\'t change the status of your spouce until your spouce starts on the job.

No Title I usually call in the late hours. Being in the west coast helps. Generally, calling after 9:00pm (Pacific) gets you through. However, for the past few days I have encountered the busy signal even very late at nights. Also, even getting through, the system response to key tones is very...
