@Jackson4 in regards to the name of the person I was mistaken for, both of our first and middle names are exactly the same, including spelling, so the mix up is a bit understandable. Our last names have no similarities whatsoever. Read More

@danfinn actually, if you completely read what I wrote, it's quite easy to follow. I never said I had his passport, only his paperwork. I did say that I "could" have returned and picked up his passport, as they instructed, but having realized they ... Read More

@danfinn I never had his passport, nor had I ever seen it. It was his paperwork. All of the information that he gave them, for renewal/extension/overstay and even his lawyers contact information. And yes, I did contact his lawyer, who told me that ... Read More

@bigpearl they did not give me his passport, only his paperwork. And I agree, I should have checked before leaving the office. Unfortunately, I was not in a condition that I was thinking straight. Without going into all of the details, I'm sure if ... Read More

@bigpearl It started after they gave me the wrong person's information. And I had gone in to pay my fines that day. And God forbid, anyone there accepts responsibility for their errors. Read More

@danfinn please think about what you say, BEFORE you say it. So it's my fault that they gave me another person's information? How so? And it's my fault that they accused me of stealing that person's passport? Again, how so? If I was going to do ... Read More

Has anyone had their pension suspended because they didn't turn in the annual SSA-7162 from?
It says on the website, 7-10 business days. And yes, trying to contact them is ridiculous. 2 days a week, 3 hours each day, c'mon now. I also have never received this form, the whole time I've been here, almost 6 years now... Read More
