Today was super painless and very quick. I went into the office in Portland to apply for a social security card/number. I filled out a very basic form, waited less than 2 minutes, spoke to a lady at the desk, showed my passport/visa, answered a couple of questions (under oath) and was told the card will be posted out in the mail in about 2 weeks.
That was it. Simple!
It's probably the first easy/simple thing that I've had during this whole experience. I was actually really shocked by how easy it was. Shame the rest of it wasn't that simple.
Now I'm looking forward to the card arriving so I can open a bank account, get my licence, and most importantly start looking for a job!!
