Hello buds! What's up in your life?! Has anyone tried Work'n'Travel program yet? If the answer is yes, please tell me one simple thing: THE NOTORIOUS SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER THAT WE GOT IN THE USA YEARS AGO - IS IT STILL VALID or was it valid only the year we were studying? I've got a question, a really silly one. Let's imagine you have a relative in the US, a reaaaallly close one. Now, she/he doesn't have even the GREEN CARD, not to mention permanent citizenship. But there's someone out there who can help make the invitation/affidavit. Would you try this alternative or would you rather pay $1.500 to the StarTravel agency, or any other agency of the kind? That's my question, and it's a vey urgent one, cuz I have only 1 (!!!) day to decided. Tomorrow will be too late already. Any advice, any thought would be DEEEEEPLY APPRECIATED. I KNOW JUST HOW SMART THE BOYS AND GIRLS ARE HERE, SO - what would you say, I wonder?  |

Hey Timur! Didn't get your question very well, but will try to answer it anyway  Your SS# is valid all the time. It is given to you once in a lifetime, so... I know a bit about work and travel program and even wanted to try it, but it was too late, because I wasn't a student anymore. this program is only for the students. Hope this little info will help you somehow. Olesya P.S. By the way, I've seen your article in FSA Ugrad magazine!  Good job!  |

Hey Tim! First thing, please try to post messages in appropriate forums next time Your message belongs to the Help ForumAnyway... I guess I might help you with your problem. First, everyone who goes to the states with W&T program gets J1 visa which allows to stay there 5 month. And the point is that in order to get J1 visa, you need to have IAP-66. The employer can't issue such form! There is a certain number of organizations that can issue IAP-66 for you! So, your friends/relatives will not be able to help you to get it! However, those jobs that they will offer you are usually shitty... so, you can use your friends to get a better job and than W&T agency will issue IAP-66 for you. Also, be sure to find a "real" job. Because I'm sure agency will call to check! As for 1.5K.... well... as far as I know this sum includes round trip tickets, insurance and some other stuff... so your best bet would be to go with agency. As for the question about SSN. Yeah, that's right. Yours is valid forever ))Though in some cases you might wanna to get a new one  Hope this helps! Andy |

 Thank you - thank you, dear all! I've made up my mind - just as Neo said, I've signed up for the work and travel program. I'll write you later, how it's going. And - Neo - sorry for posting the message not in the appropriate forum. I did it deliberately - it wouldn't get much attention otherwise. Timmy |
