Received my new Social Security Card

I received my "clean" Social Security Card in the mail today. Unlike the old one, it doesn't have any restriction on it. And, of course, my social security number is still the same.

Applied New Social Security Card

I went to my local Social Security Administration office at Riverside, CA today to apply my new social security card. As you can seen below, my old SSN card has a restriction that states "VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION". Now that I have a Green Card, I don't need any authorization to work. Even though it is not necessary, I want to have this removed from my card.

The whole process at Social Security Administration office was easy and fast. It took only 10 minutes. I only need to show my SSN card, green card, and completed SS-5 form. At the end, they kept my SSN card. I was told I am going to get a new SSN card in 7 to 10 days.

Congratulations Egypt!!!!!

Big congratulations to Egypt!!!!!!! Egyptian people defeated the dictator, brought down the government, and earned democracy peacefully.

CHINA IS NEXT!!!!!



Received my actual green card

Finally I received my actual green card!!!!!! It is so beautiful. I think I am going to cry.

Filed my 2010 Tax Return

I just finished filing my tax turn. I used TurboTax. It took me about 3 days since I made a few hundred stock trades. I am getting about $3000 return this year.

Received Welcome Notice

I received an official approval notice from USCIS. I love the part where it says "WELCOME TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"

I Finally Got my Green Card Approval.

Woohoo!!!! I finally got my Green Card Approval today!!!! I don't have the actual card yet, I received an email notice that my Adjustment of Status just got approved today. It took me about 2 years and a lot of money. It was a long and frustrating journey. Finally my journey ended happily today.
