[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Recently in VA SSN lines were insane, compared to years past.

Here is what we do:
1. AP arrives on Friday
2. On Saturday I take her to Bank of America to open account. They do it without SSN
3. Next week when kids are in camp outgoing AP takes new AP to SS office (Or I take off from work to do it). This year the line in Alexandria office at like 9:30 AM was huge. [b]Next day they went to Arlington, line was just a bit shorter, and whole process took 3.5 hrs.[/b]
4. After SSN comes in the mail, we go to VA DMV. I was under impression that VA can’t process you till you have SSN, so never tried without it. For German and French, they actually put in request to home country to verify the DL, so the process can take 1-3 months... but they can drive with the international DL. DMV has some Saturday hours, with longer lines.

Yes, it is a PITA but this is what we kind of signed up for as host parents... after first trip to DMV my APs do the trips by themselves.[/quote]

Is there a social security office in Arlington?[/quote]
