Jeffy14 and namecheckvictim, I'm confused. You guys are saying just the opposite : one is saying I will keep the same number, the other that I need a new one. Anyone else have the answer please ?

Hi people. A question about the social security number. I won my GC and am moving to the USA next month. A long time ago, in 92, I was doing an internship in the US and obtained a US social security number then. I still have the card, it says "not valid for employment" (which is logical). Now...

yes Jeffy14 you are right, but in my case I have already activated the visa, I have received the GC.

No I don't have a re-entry permit

So, is the maximum time allowed abroad 6 months or 1 year ? I'm confused.

Hi all. Are you sure that once you have received your GC you can stay abroad for up to 1 year without risking to lose it ? I read on other threads that the maximum time outside the US without a re-entry permit is 6 months. I got my GC in June, and went back to my country, and now I'm scared of...

Any more feedback on this please ?

Hi. Thanks for your reply. My GC is dated mid-June 2010. I still have many things to take care of here in my home country before I can move to the US. If I wait until say March or April 2011, will I still be ok ? Or is it too late ?

Hi all. I went to the USA in June to get my green card, and received it in July. I am now back in my home country, and I have a contract to honor which will last a few more months, and I also have to take care of many things like selling my house, etc. So, my question is, how long is it safe...

Hi. I have my DV immigrant visa, and am flying to the USA soon, from Europe. Do I need to fill out the ESTA online form ? My guess is that since I have the visa I do not have to, can you guys confirm ?

Hi folks. Can someone please tell me what is the procedure to obtain the GC after 1st entry into the USA with the immigrant visa ? Is it just a matter of waiting for it to be mailed to the US address that I gave the consulate during my interview (it's a friend's address) ? Or are there other...

I'll second currycrab's questions : I plan to make a first trip to the USA and stay for 2 to 3 weeks, and then return to Europe and come back to the USA later (within 6 months probably). I've read that the GC takes 5 weeks or more to arrive to the US address that I specified, so I will be out of...

Hi. I won the 2009 lottery and have recently received my immigrant visa. I was wondering if it is possible to enter the USA with the visa a first time for a short period (few weeks), then come back to my home country for some months to take care of some business here, and then go back to the...
