Re: Social Security Number
Done my driving test yesterday and passed, but it was not four right turns and park. I got the full test.
Still have not got the green card, what should I do? I would appreciate some help.

Re: Social Security Number
Carlisle,
Since your green card arrival questions were in a thread about the social security card, I moved your question to a thread of its own.
If I recall correctly, you've been in the USA around 60 days, is that right? You arrived on an Immigrant Visa, correct? So you have the 1-year I-551 in your passport to tide you over, even if it takes a year to get your plastic green card in hand.

Still hasn't come and probably won't for a while because of the Shutdown. Been here 70 days.
Maybe I will get a rebate due to late delivery haha

That's been a long time - wife and I were only musing last night that were glad my SSN came when it did. Are you having problems without it?

No not really, but I don't like having my passport with me all the time.

Yeah I must admit just carrying the wallet is somewhat easier.
For what it's worth, you don't actually need to carry your passport. Not having proof on your person is technically a $100 fine offence - however this fine can only be applied if found to be without proof by a federal officer. It cannot be imposed by, for example, a county sheriff.
