I think im going to wait until im properly eligable (ie when we wont just have to pay it back because of the status of my green card), then i'll see where i am. Yeah, i could start the process now, but my luck says it would all go through smoothly and then i'd get in trouble for applying too early or whatever. The more i think about it, the more i can remember during my visa process that they kept stressing to Wolfz that he was financially responsible for me, that i couldnt become a ward of the state etc.

Sith wasn't joking about it taking 2 years, your first go around you get denied, it's almost a damn rubber stamp. Disability is not one of those things like welfare that you go down and apply, and come home with an EBT card.
Even my nephew, who went from being a smart guy to the mentality of an 8 year old was denied the first time around, he had to wait over a year for the approval to go through the second time. My sister had to argue with them for him, because he would have just accepted whatever he was told.
