Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / December 2004

In the post today I got my first 3 letters addressed to me at my new US
address.  I have 2 welcome letters from the United States of America and
now wait...... my permanent resident card!!!

I arrived in the US w/my visa on the 7th of December and have been
enjoying the holidays since.  I've been eagerly awaiting my Social
Security Card as I want to go out and get my driving license and start
applying for jobs bank accounts etc.  That should be here any day now as
they said I should get it 2 weeks after my arrival in the states which
would have been around the 21st or so.  However, getting the green card
was a HUGE surprise as I was told I would get in approx. six months.
Its sooo nifty too.  like a little credit card w/a weird strip on the
back that reflects all the info on the front and looks somewhat like a
strip of negatives.

I suppose its nice to know that at least one department is on the
ball...
