Green, Social Security, and Credit Cards

Two days after we received the permanent residence approval letter, we received my wife's green card!

So today we went and applied for her social security card. That required her green card and passport and lots of waiting. After an hour or so we got a receipt saying we will get her card in 2 weeks. So, like with everything else, now we wait!

Once we get her card we will get her a Bank of America Fully Secured VISA credit card to start building up her credit.

Welcome to the United States of America!

"Welcome to the United States of America!" is how the paper started. My wife interviewed on Friday, June 24, 2011 and her Permanent Residency was approved on Monday, June 27, 2011 and we received it on Thursday, June 30, 2011. the letter states that she should receive her new permanent resident (green) card in 3 weeks. Of course the law requires that she carry it at all times.

Per request, I will post the questions our lawyer told us to practice later this week.
