Well the visa hasn't taken that long, but we have been living apart going back and forth for that long! Really can't wait for it to be over with! I actually applied for a job this week in Chicago so you never know if I get that I'll be leaving earlier!!

Hi All,
I just wanted to share with you guys who havn't yet finished the process that the embassy never did apply to social security for a number for me.
Your best option is to look up your nearest office when you get to the states and apply for it yourself.
All they require is your passport and they also took my british drivers licence (they photocopied them both). I waited about 10-15mins to be seen and it only took about 10mins once at the window.
You should then receive your number in about 10 days. But can take up to 4 weeks I was told.
Just thought this might help with the getting a social issue =)
