I guess I'll go an see HR now about getting the GC apps in...then apply for EAD's for the little buggers.

I think you're correct - the land-line is in my name (no deposit) and they offered me the cell phone after about 6 months (it is in her name though) I guess they checked my credit although its not on my Equifax report as an enquiry

at what point in the process are dependents assigned a temporary tax number? I'd assume very early on?
How much is your cell phone bill each month?

$290 ain't too bad. My LD bills to the UK have exceeded that in the past (by a lot ).
