As a Lawful Permanent Resident you are eligible to apply for an SSN.
I have been here 2 1/2 years after escaping Canada and my Naturalization application is in the works.
Our son joined us in December and just got an accounting position and now finds himself out of work.
Some of us came here to pay taxes and enjoy the privilege of living in this great nation.
Yes, my US Citizen wife of 26 years and I will get checks, but our son who needs it most may in fact not receive any help (apart from us).
Please, when making posts along these lines keep in mind that many LPR's want to be here and contribute, not mooch.
I only hope that my naturalization happens before November. It will be one of the finest days in my life when I can cast my ballot for Donald J. Trump for President.
I would be curious to hear more about your experience doing so... I know it's circumstancial but I feel like you actioned on something I only 'thought' about doing. Instead of leaving, I was pretty active trying to help the PPC gain momentum. It was disappointing to say the least...
When I married my wife 26 years ago we took for granted that she was born in Dearborn MI. All these years later, when I saw the boss come down the escalator we realized that it was time to join the movement.
If you are not married to a US Citizen the process can be lengthy (upwards of 5 years). Even in my case (with a job waiting for me) it took 15 months to complete the process. Our son (22) took 18 months. The end result is totally worth it. We have never been happier or more secure in our lives here in East Tennessee.
Do Green Card holders get a Social Security number as well?

Congratulations on your escape.
