gunners4u I am talking from personal experience and from a friend's recent experience, if you change it @POE it may not reflect on NVC file that you have change your address, If your uncle can help you as fast as possible by Contacting USCIS may be helpful, I am not trying to scare you, you may also call your guy in Connecticut to help you secure it and post it to your recent address it all depends on trust.

No, green card may only take 10 working days if you don't have any problem with your medicals with them, I am only talking about waiting period for your SSN.
Yes, Adesoji is right. You may have to wait for 21day b4 you appling for your SSN but it may vary from 1 state to another but am talking abt west of the states, that i know for sure.

Thank God. I finally landed in America with my family yesterday & d xperience was so wonderful. We don't hav much problem at port of enty- JFK airport NY, we join d queue for immigrant and we are 2nd on d queue. I gave d Immig Officer our PP & d Yellow envelopes. She checked to see if we've tried to open d envelopes. Thereafter, she opened the envelopes one after the other. took our finger prints and snap us. she then inputs some info into the system and finally stamped our PP.She then took us into the main room where she led us to a man. she gave our forms(contents of d yellow envelopes) to d man and d man gave us a form to put our fingerprint on it and signed it. Everytin took us less than 15 minutes in d airport.
Note: D yellow envelopes should never be opened pls. It contains all ur documents u've already seen : form ds 230, original police report, medical report,and d fotocopy of ur birth cert or NPC cert. ur 3 2x2 pasports collectd from u during the interview at lag. so, its all what u've already seen.

Once again Thanks to this great forum for the wonderful info shared by every1 for d benefits of all of us. I'm proud to b a Nigerian. God Bless 9JA.

Re: Diversity Visa Immigrant? Welcome To America by adesojiaderemi(m): 10:33pm On Nov 27, 2012
atseyi: Temmy, adesoji,house... i need ur advice here! i want to rent an apartment for myself before arriving d state in dec as i have some delays with my host to wait till when its january when he will be ready to recieve me ,but do i need to change the address probably at the POE, how visible is this? or when i get to my new apartment in texas ,can i contact USCIS for change of address through their web site? thanks for ur advice...my consign is the GN..

atseyi, getting apartment requires your SSN and ID, except you got someone who can do that for you, Changing of address is not authomatic as you think, even if you change it at POE they may not effect it at NVC national Visa Centre, Nebraska.

Your medical is in order if you travel as schedule, date and numbers are very important here since you still have a week to the deadline you will be ok.

I have gone through it, I saw d chart from where we submit transcript to end and also to apply one will have to create an account.

In case of some sch that don't give transcript by hand. Which email will they send it to. I have searched site if I could get their email or telephone. So I can contact them but none only for language translation I found their.
