All i know is that before you can make any meaningful application in the US , you need your SSN..its very important
for your NO3 question you cant open a bank account without your SSN..I am not sure of the rest but SSN is very imp.
Thank you
 
To everyone that have gotten his/her SSN, Please make sure you keep it in a safe place. YOUR SSN is very confidential and you must not release the number to just any kind of person even in the USA, your SSN is everything to you in the USA because with it ppl can view all information about you, so make sure you keep it properly

Thank you

how are u guys doing. where in texas are you, anyway the issue as per building ur credit u cant do dat
without all ur documents and a job. you must have a credit card to build ur credit and its advisable not to apply for 1, when u get a job those pple will invite
u to obtain a credit card from them they will locate u.
4 me i applied for my drivers license the week i got my ssn
and i got my got my drivers license on before the end of june, i.e i did my road test in june. most jobs will require a drivers license bcos of the achy of texas as a whole. as for job i only started applying after i got all
my papers and i also had to get an apartment of y own. its really been though but i would advice u to get a job 4 at least 2 months b4 u move
to have ur own apt. 4 me my host moved to another town and i didnt want to go with him.
bottom line with God every difficulty become easy. the start can be pretty rough, but just hold on.
to get a job it depends on wat u want most pple in houston are either doing cna or security jobs.
 
congratulations to all those selected for dv2012, and to all those waiting to have there interview I say u shall be successful, IJN.
@ lanreb every information u need has already been discussed somewhere along the line. you dont need to fill any for now when u get to ur port of entry u would be asked and the u can tell them u have a change of address the know everybody in us can move at anytime. if they dont ask u them it probably skiped their mind so just tell them. preferably have it printed on a paper and hand it over to them on arrival. dont be bordered, it no problem.
@ kennyeast which job is easy to get in chicago?

@stonesanjay. I was told that we can open an account without a SSN, you can also get a mobile phone, just go with your stamped Nigeria passports. I already got my Mobile phone from T mobile.
 
The manual I got is revised October 2008. Keep studying it pending when your SSN will be out, then go for your driving test, its what you need to pass. Just locate t mobile office and get your phone, go with your passport.
