Green card arrived in 2 weeks!
Hi all
Yep, that's right - I entered on July 6 on a CR-1 visa and my real, shiny, "fair dinkum" Green Card arrived 2 weeks later! Is that unusual? I've heard people say that it can take up to a year - not that I'm complaining!
The SSN is another matter. At my interview I received a letter saying that a number would be assigned automatically and that it should arrive within 3 weeks. Well, impatient me decided to go to the local office after 16 days. They said that I was "SAVE verified" but that no number had been assigned.
So I filled in an SS-5 form and was told that it should arrive within 2 weeks. We'll see...
Oh, and life is still good!
