Typically you have to wait for USCIS to send you the Biometrics appointment letter, however you can try to walk in early at your local USCIS office depending on how busy they are.

Wife went to get her MI driver's license today. Tried to apply in her married name, but no go since her SSN is in her maiden name. I swear I read a few posts on here from people that hadn't updated it and just had their marriage cert and got it in their married name. Oh well. She got it in her maiden name for now.

Will wait until we get our AOS NOA1 to try and get her ssn changed. I assume USCIS would have it in their system at that point.


Yeah... I guess they would... I went and had it changes, and I should be able to send off the AOS stuff early October... Hopefully I won't run into any trouble! And I think I'll get my driver's license soon too, everyone that cards me looks at my Quebec license and think I'm from Africa or something! :bonk:

I'll be POEing at the ambassador bridge and I believe J&J is too, so thank you for that tip. I'll wait a little longer then the two weeks to try


I guess it must depend on the State, because I got my SSN maybe a little short of two weeks, and she did not seem to have any problem 'finding' me... Well, now I hope she did it right! :wacko:

Got married last week, waiting for marriage cert to apply for AOS. Went down to the SSA today to apply for her SSN (2 weeks after POE). Still wasn't in their system (grr!!) and they sent it for manual verification. We POE'd at the ambassador bridge. If anyone goes through there, might want to give it more than 2 weeks to apply.


Congratulations on getting married! You guys must be so happy! :thumbs:

What did everyone do in terms of informing Canadian Authorities, GST, Health Offices, etc of your leaving? Is there anything special to do on that front?

My POE is Wednesday at the Blue Water Bridge in Sarnia, and I'm hoping it all goes well. Driving down in a uHaul truck with my brother and all my belongings!


You know, I was wondering about that... I might look into it when I've been back for 6 months... Right now, the AOS stuff is keeping my mind busy!
Good luck on your POE!

BUMP! dont want any of us to forget about this tread lol I think I am going to redo my list of items and put basic things like B0x 1- Alex toys - Cars, Dinos, trucks etc.



:D :thumbs:

I received my SSN card on Saturday, it's all fresh and clean! Too bad I'll have to go get another one in 2 weeks! Planning the reception -well, more like a cookout- and trying to remain calm with this AOS stuff... I think if all goes well, I should be able to mail it in around the first week of October.

Hope everyone is happy, and doing good!
Cheers!

Hey guys I was packing and writing down my list of boxes, on the sheet of paper i put box 1- Alex toys, box 2- Alex toys, box 3- Alex books, box 4- my books ect. Chris says thats not enough that I should write down every toy, book ect.

So is what I did enough or should I do what Chris said???


Well, I had a pretty detailed list, like suitcase one: 3 pair of socks, 5 books, 2 picture frames, etc... I had even separated it by pockets for each suitcase, like small front pocket, big front pocket, inside pocket... And when I flew, they didn't even ask for none of it, they just asked me if these - my suitacases - were mine... It might be different if you drive though...
And I also did my POE at Trudeau airport... Where are you doing yours?

Hey guys,
I got my SSN number today and the mariage license! Very glad it's done! Getting the SSN was painless, apart from waiting in line behind the perfect example of a white trash - s'cuse my language, but seriously guys, if I could have had my phone on to take a picture, you would have agreed! :lol:
Getting married next week, and looking forward to starting the AOS process once I do the name change on my SSN!

Anyone else has anything going on?

Wishing, does your SSN have "valid for work only with DHS authorization" or something along those lines?? I know it's not exactly correct, but something along those lines!

That's what mine says, as I was on a work visa in 2006. We're still waiting for our NoA2, so it's a long ways off... but I'm pretty sure I can just go to the SS office and show them the marriage certificate and K-1 and all that, and get it changed to my married name.

I think we're actually at an advantage, because we can eliminate one step!

I think that's how it works anyway :)


Makes sense! Lucky you! :thumbs:
