Natta, Feel is right about the SSN. If you don't have any campus job, you cannot apply for SSN on F!. It was possible but not anymore. And for your information you don't need SSN to get IDs or open a bank account. I have all those and yet I do not have SS card. I hope it comes on time anyway, because I need to start working as soon as possible and no one is taking me without SSN.

Feel is very correct. Its true that you cannot get an SSN as an F1 without an on-campus job. And also you do not need an SSN to open a bank account or get an ID. After all, I have all that and yet I do not have an SSN. Well, I hope mine comes in the mail soon, because i need to start work and no one is giving me a job without the card.

Baobab,
Thanks for the response. I was not aware that other members had responded to my question. Do you have any idea how long it requires to receive a receipt of DV fee after we send it. Anyways thanks a bunch for helping me with the information. I was very stressed out about it.

I need some advices:
My wife is pregnant and expecting to give birth somewhere in september according to her Ob-gyn(doctor). We have to wait at least 2 months to receive an official birth certificate of the child and afterward we ll fill for his/her canadian passport which might take at least 4 weeks to be established. To sum up my child will receive his own passport after 3 months (that is how things go here in Canada).
The problem is that: According to previous experiences and based on our high case # our interview at the embassy should be held around september as well in Montreal, and my child wont have neither his birth certicate nor his passport !
I really anxious about this issue , dont know what to do and how the embassy will handle my case ?
I am planning to inform KCC about my wife pregnancy in the upcoming months.
Please any advice will be welcome...........................

guys,
I found out that even with GC, one who lives in TX can not pay in-state tuition. in order to be eligible you must be a "TX resident". for example one of the conditions for residency is that you must have worked in TX for 1 year as a "gainful employee" which must have been non-student job (i.e. GRA, TA ,.. are not accepted). this rule is true even for US citizens! I do not know about other states.

I would recommend that you write the address as provided. There must be a reason as to why they ask us to send it there. Besides, I have read on USCIS websites that the FBAS folks handle all of the AOS applications.
Hello Lucky2011,
Please show some patience and just wait for your appointment. February 17, is just a couple of weeks away. Don't push it to hard.
Good luck on your walk-in

I haven't been on forum recently. I am so tired at work and can't wait until Thursday and all this is finally over.
I will post my cover letter and all docs which I got from USCIS after the interview.

This is true for almost ALL the states. I am not sure about 'gainful' part, it I think is wrong info. But 1 yr state residency as a US-PR is a requirement.
Just check with your school's reg and records office and ask specifically for 'state higher ed board requirements' for state residency.
Best!
