Hello all,
I have some practical questions reg. the desicion to move (and work) in the US with an L1 visa:
(1) With a L1 Visa you cannot enter the country before 10 days before the working start date. In order to start working you need a Social Security number (SSN), which takes minimum 2 weeks to get, and they also recommend not to apply for a SSN before 10 days after arrival to the US (https://www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-05-10096.pdf). So how did you get around this?
(2) One also needs a SSN in order to get a rental house/apt, so where do you guys live in the mean time? I assume that you cannot have an adress registered at a hotel or AirBNB...
(3) One also needs a SSN in order to obtain a bank account (for your salary to be transferred etc).
Thanks...
