Gather all necessary documents, get the affidavit, if u have the photocopy of the DS230 u sent with the correct name, go with it as well, let every other document carry the correct name, be careful and prayerful bcos they have limited visas left and they disqualify with flimsy reason, do ur best, above all pray to God for favor.

Hi stonesanjay, unfortunately, you cant do anything without your SSN and in Texas you can't apply for it until after three weeks of your arrival. We only did our state ID and collected diving Manuals to prepare ourselves for the test proper.

Thanks my broda, pls one more final thing like i said my wife won the lottery, pls i want to find out if the birth certificate we did is okay. its actually the one from the national population commission, but it was done with her maiden name, i want to know if its okay with her maiden name or it should have her married name. Thanks hoping to hear from anybody who has gone thru the process with his family soon. mind you her maiden name is not on her passport.
