Thank you Solwach, i finally received my SSN today Glory be to God. Wonder how much longer its going to take before i can get the Green card, i paid for it a month ago prior to my entry into the US.
 
Need your advices mates

Mates, my prospective host changed the address, this needs to be corrected if I intent to be hosted by him and I think even the CO will get me well. But now I want to change the host of course with different address.
When shall I do that? If I do this on the day of interview, it won't jeopardize my case?
 
Hi, house, happy new to all, I can see everyone is busy settling down. May God bless us all in our new dreamland. Do not forget your God who had help you to be where you are today, when you are in the new land God has given you. Remain bless.

child's photos issue

The picture in my daughter’s passport(taken many months ago before being selected) is now different from her current real look! She got her passport when she was around 4 months and now she is 2 years and anybody can deny it belongs to her if they compare the owner to her photo because it was taken many months ago and I don't see any similarity.

so,What shall I do my mates? Won’t it jeopardize my case on the interview day expected in May or at the POE?

Relax and go ahead with preparations. There is nothing to worry you or deny you a visa as long you have met all the other rules. Children below a certain age are allowed to have that difference in looks. Focus on the interview and you will be good.

What? :confused: As a matter of fact, you're NOT required to show a prospective employer your GC in order for them to employ you. All you need is your SSN and a picture ID - and you can use either a driver's license or a State-issued ID. You can also use your passport as a form of ID, but I wouldn't encourage a new immigrant to use their passport just in case you run into some bigot who might want to take advantage of you. Use a State-issued ID instead, it's cheap and easy to obtain.

And don't go about telling a prospective employer you're a newly landed immigrant, that may be another reason they're insisiting on seeing the GC itself. Most people are not aware of the fact that the endorsed stamp is as valid as the plastic GC itself for 1 year.

No Job without a car and a legal status (greencard or citizenship). No car without driving licence, tabs and insurance. No driving license without passing road test after staying for 3 months and having a legal status with an instruction permit.. No legal status without being a greencard holder or a citizen. No greencard (permanent resident card) minus winning one or marrying a greencard holder or a citizen. No apartment minus good credit history and signing a 1 yr or 6 months lease. All apartments for rent need you to sign a lease 6 months or 1 yrs....whether you relocate or not you must pay for the time indicated on the signed lease! Remember rent only is about 60% of your total earnings. No credit history minus having paid several bills with check. No paying bills minus a source of income. No source of income minus having a job. No job minus having legal status (greencard or citizenship) and good background checks (no criminal record, no drug use). TAX TAX TAX everywhere. Federal tax, state tax, local govn tax, social security tax, medicare tax, car and medical insurance etc, car fuel, car maintenance, rent, food, garbage, gas, electricity, cable TV bills etc. LIFE IS HARD. You MUST depend on someone for several months here yet nobody wants unnecessary burden and extra expense! I now see a reason why most immigrants are under depression and some commit suicide cos here you begin from ZERO.
