Not wasting anytime we got right to work in setting up life in the US.

Got Mai signed up for private driving lessons with a students license

(not the same as a permit) for 6 hours: Wed, Thur and Fri. She has

been reading the DMV traffic book since last night. We wanted her to have classes but it was only teenagers so "no go." After the driving lessons she can take the test for permit or the driving license. Either one will do as she will obtain the license this month.

We alsof signed up for Adult, Child and Infant CPR. Class

is tomorrow 8 am to 4 pm. Wanted the First Aide too but it was full

and another class is not available until June 18th. Mai needs all this for her RN license.

Contacted and made progress with two of the three credit bureaus for our business purposes. Equifax does not make it easy to contact them

via computer or phone. I will have to write them and have it special

delivered so they process it quickly. If you ever come to live in the US its important to know about the 3 credit bureaus: TransUnion, Equifax and Experian.

Went to the Social Security office in Garden Grove to get Mai's

application in. However, we learned that from the Port of Entry date

(yesterday) it takes INS / SS 10 days to process Mai's info into the

computer. Only after that can SS accept her application and then

process it in 2 weeks. So we learned that and will have to do that in

San Diego. Wandering Kev do you happen to know where the local office is located in SD? Kev, where are you: OC or SD?

Spent allot of time looking at cars last night. Am getting closer to

the Toyota Rav, PT Cruiser or Subaru Forester.

Jet lag is playing with us. Slept from 4:30 to 9:30 pm and woke up at 10 pm.

should take rest na ka khun RC khun Mai à´ÕëÂÇá¡èàÃçǹÃ

Good to know you had a safe trip and....busy life in US....now.. :-) Hope your guys enjoy life there...more and more......Cheer!! for Khun MAI, Khun RC...na kha

It's hard to believe you're gone! Well, I hope you show Mai the time of her life! We miss ya here!

I am in the OC. Irvine to be precise. So can't really help you with that kinda thing in SD. The only ICE office (the new improved name for the INS/Customs) was in Aliso Viejo/Laguna Niguel. Here is what I found on the web for SD.
