@Metti Its such a hassle trying to convince all the different agencies you need a DOS #. I ' think you will be able to get one, and you actually don't need one at all.

Hi All, @Shanavas @Jane Doe @Metti Sorry for the late response. I totally been off the grid for a few months. We were also told I would need to fill in an I-90 form originally. Then a supervisor came and he explained that no you don't need to. The baby does not need bio-metrics or to pay...

It really is not that hard. You may have some issues with the airline not understanding the situation. My wife was in Amsterdam flying to the USA when she got asked the question regarding the visa. The woman at the counter ended up just getting her Supervisor and then it was all sorted. Its not...

If you have an A # in the passport then it should be fine. I was the opposite. We had the I-181 with the A #. However the stamp in the passport did not have it. When I went to USCIS and told them the situation they updated the passport and put the number in there. Not that it really mattered in...

I would get an appointment to go in to the USCIS office, Its much better to get it done in person

Hi There, USCIS over the phone are pointless they kept asking me for a DOS case number, even when I explained the situation and that my son did not have one they still didn't understand. I was bounced from call centre to call centre and got no where. It was pointless. They could find a file on...

@Shanavas My Son received his Green Card in the mail 2 days ago, so it looked like our trip to USCIS paid off, We ended up going to the SSA the day after and got his SSN sorted. So I guess it takes about a month to receive his green card, I would suggest waiting after a month nd if nothing...

Can you lodge yourself? Like I could used to do in Australia? Or is it better to get someone to do it?

Oh man, i totally forgot about tax time! Been so pre occupied wth everything else, I have not earned anything in the US yet, so I will just have to declare my AUS income, Question? Is it two separate filings? for state and federal? Or just one? I think I might just go to a local tax guy, hope...

USCIS don't seem to be much help at all. I already have the i-551 stamp in my sons passport so we are all ok there, They did the same thing, made up a "packet" and then told me they would get back to me, I got no idea what that means, I will wait two months and if no green card arrives ill be...

Yeah we chose Houston too only on a Work Situation and with the oil price so low right now. Its not our dream, its a start. Texas is one of the cheaper state to live in too, so when trying to build credit and get your insurance premiums down I think it was a good move for us for a year or so

@Shanavas Apologies on the late response, only just got back to the PC now. I would like to give you a definite answer on this topic but really there was even a bit of confusion at USCIS on what to do next. We took all our paperwork in and the guy at the counter didn't really understand...

I have to agree with everyone here. The US is much different to Australia. We found that out within the first few weeks of being here. Some things are better, some are not so. I'll agree that the Health system here is terrible compared to back in Australia. It does cost us a small fortune to...

We got the Na3 status on an I-181 Form, which says LPR. But we also got a stamp in his passport with the I-1551. Which I guess is a bonus. I will let you know what they say tomorrow afternoon. Cheers

I have noticed everything seems to be sweet here. Not just the bread. So many different breakfast cereals that seem to be abut 95% sugar. hahah :)

Hi There I have an appointment with USCIS tomorrow at 2pm so I will let you know how it goes. Did you get any more information at DFW when you arrived? Did they tell you that you had to pay the immigration fee or anything? All we did was put an address down and that was it. It was an address...

Definitely miss Shapes too. Also the bread. The wife being German also misses the bread. So we are starting to make our own at home now. Which is fun I guess :)

Yeah its mental. But you take the good with the bad. My premium is $700 a month for Mylsef the Wife and the young fella. It is a lot more than Australia but then again other things here are alot cheaper to offset that cost. Like Fuel (or should I say Gas!). It costs me pennies to get around, I...

Well thats a bit hard then. Hopefully it will come down in a year or so. I just hope I can get my Health Insurance down next too. Seems like all my money goes towards Insurances at the moment

Well its been 3 months now since we arrived and nothing. So I was just starting to worry. On top of that every time I ring USCIS I get put on hold and then transferred and then transferred back. No one seems to be able to give me a straight forward answer. Some say I have to pay the $165...
