Hi everyone, a quick message to tell you that Im doing good, I received my green card today in the mail - it took exactly 19 days to get through...
I still didn't receive my SSN (which is more important than the green card -->driver's license, rent an apartment, open a bank account, job...)
Oh and something else, I received a letter from Homeland security/USCIS a week after I landed in the US with my alien number, with this you can register on the USCIS web site to know exactly when they will print out your green card. (you can receive the alerts by text on your phone or by email)
Also, if you will be calling overseas a lot, T-Mobile got a super good deal on longdistance calls, for 10$ a month you have unlimited international calls on landlines and unlimited international text (sms) on mobile.
Since I been here, I realised that within 2 years, everything got more expensive (gas and food... and rent in some areas) so try to save the maximum of money you can,
I was in Atlanta in 2008, and for sure now in 2011 everything almost doubled up... except your paychecks. So be prepared!
Other than that Im really happy to be back I pray that everyone of you succeed at your interview -
Congrats sista mai on receiving the green card, we hope the SSN follows very soon. thanks very much for the insight on how things are moving over there. your advice is well noted and we hope the Lord Almighty we see all of us through in Jesus Name. Goodluck and may you continue to succeed in all your endeavours.
