Plastic Cards Received
Interview Date: 11/12/02 (Montreal)
Date of Entry: 11/12/02 (Champlain, NY)
Welcome Letters Received: 11/26
Cards mailed from TSC: 11/27
Cards Received: 11/30
Incidentally, if any of you are travelling internationally AFTER getting your GC, but BEFORE you receive the plastic card, it is no problem at all crossing the border with just your temporary I-551 stamps in your passport. I entered the US on 11/30 at JFK, went to the "Citizens and Residents" line, and crossed in about 12 seconds.

Question about GC
Hi everyone,
Interview date : 11/21/02
Where : Chennai
POE : L.A.
DOE : 11/26/02
I know Welcome Letter and Green Card will take a while considering that it is a holiday season.
Question :
1. I didn't give x-rays or they didn't ask for it in POE. Is this fine ??
2. I have given 3 immigration style photos during my CP. 2 signed on the bottom of the photo and 1 unsigned. But they have return me back 1 photo which is signed.(Actually they had stapled it on the passport). Initially i thought they may take this photo at the POE but they didn't take it. Anybody had the same experience.
3. I know it takes a while for the POE to update the database with the A#. How long we need to wait before we go to SSN office to change the status on our SSN.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
Vsats

no photos needed at POE ...they are in ur visa packet that the consulate issued.
3. I know it takes a while for the POE to update the database with the A#. How long we need to wait before we go to SSN office to change the status on our SSN.
the time can vary .... but before u make a trip to the SSN office, call them and ask if they show u as a PR in their database.
Yes

Hi Im9999,
It seems, time to get SSN varies from state to state.
I applied for SSN for my wife on october 18th in dallas.
still no card. whenever we call them, nobody answer the
phone. anyway she is going to the ssn office today to
find out the status.
Our DOE was October 12th and POE was in Dallas.
when we went on Oct 18th, SSA office said they could not
find our A# on the system
yet. I think they can find the A# on the system, only
when we get our plastic cards from INS. That means
INS registered our A#s. SSA office gave us a paper
stating that application is filed for SSN number and it
takes 4 to 6 weeks. Now it is almost 7 weeks. No number
yet. We got our plastic cards in the first week of november.
Well, My friend's DOE was also in october and POE was in
Ohio. His wife got SSN card in 10 days.
Dallas sucks.

After POE donot forget to fill up new I-9 form
Hi Guys,
After POE donot forget to fill up new I-9 form with your existing employer. Remember your H1B on employer record is canceled so we need to give them IV details.
