I got it when I lived there on L1 visa, worked for a big multi national Oil company

What is your status in the USA?

I just live there on the Visa wiaver (only spend 35 days at a time there due to work)

That depends on what your current status is in the USA.

See above as there is no provision for non working residency as a single person (at least I have never found it)


Where are these things, in the USA? Probably won't help your situation if you need to return to the USA on a visa...just saves you the trouble of obtaining them all again.

At my House in Texas and in my wallet.


I would have to say you are also a bit vague. You have a SS card with a work authorization legend on it, but we have no clue what your status is in the USA. Are you on a work visa? Do you have a green card? Are you waiting for an adjustment of status to come through? Are you married to a USC? Could be a multitude of things...

Sorry about being vague, I know I will probably have to go through the whole sponsorship again, but it is always worth the time to ask.

Do I need do anything with my existing SSN - I presume not as I remain on a non-immigrant visa.

You presume correctly.

Yes, you will have to go through another employment sponsorship in order to work in the US. There is nothing to be done about your social security card. The legend still applies to you and can only be changed if you become a legal permanent resident.

and I am currently working in Indonesia but still living in USA.

I have been offered a position with a small independent Oil and Gas company in Texas. So do I/can I re-apply for a Visa/GC? Or do I need to go down the sponsorship route again.

I still have a bank accounts/credit cards/a house/DL etc, don't know if this counts in my favour.

I have checked on various sites and they are all a bit vague (unless I give them my credit card details lol).

So if anyone has had this problem and sorted it please share.

Thanks in Advance
