SSN的证明（需要Social Security Card那张纸的原件哦~）即可。
题主在芝加哥，因此所有的地址都是芝加哥的。伊州其他地方的驾考地址和SSA可以直

小留和老留的孩子，即所谓ABC, “华二代” 是同一代人。
老留的心态，有几分倚老卖老，也有几分自亮伤疤的伪豪迈，因为他们最喜欢的就是说
自己当初如何怀揣几十美元到了美国，一下飞机就进餐馆打工，或者第二天就进了实验

学钢琴，如何获奖。这种沾沾自喜的心态，已经成为现在五十多岁左右的在美“老留”

Steve Ralls, spokesman for the pro-LGBT Immigration Equality, said the
breadth of support that has developed for folding gay families into the bill
puts conservatives at a disadvantage.
“The combination of all those things have led us to the point where our
inclusion in the bill is expected among most faith and immigration groups
and those that are preaching for our exclusion are really the ones who are
