90 days? They were kinda frugal with that. Most interim EAD's are valid for at least 8 months.

That's great that you can apply for the SSN w/ an interim EAD. USCIS were "super frugal" with us and gave my husband a one month interim EAD and will NOT renew it. They told us to be patient and wait...and is has been 6 months already!

good luck everyone!

I will be going to the local USCIS here in Seattle to get my Interim EAD. One question though...do I have to pay for this Interim EAD. Because I read somewhere on-line that I need to perpare $120 for the Interim EAD and to think I paid $180.00 already for the EAD that's been way 90 days already. Please give me some insights on this. I just need to get an SSN. That's what's important for me and my husband. Also, what do I need to bring aside from the Infopass I printed out. Thanks...

When the SSA office sends the G-845 for manual verfication, suggest that you go back to the SSA office no more that once week with your documents to (1) ask them to check SAVE again (2) ask if they sent a G-845 (3) if yes, did it come back (4) after 30 days ask if they have followed up on the G-845 by calling or sending another mark “second request.”

You can try calling the SSA Regional Office if you have waited at least 30 days and your local SSA office doesn't seem to be concerned about following up on the G-845

Step 6

DHS should respond to SSA within 15 federal work days after receiving the Form G-845. If DHS does not respond within 15 federal work days from the receipt of the G-845 from SSA, follow-up with the DHS, USCIS Immigration Status office. (Allow 15 days plus five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS. Follow local practice to follow-up with DHS.

Some SSA offices have an arrangement with the DHS, USCIS office to telephone for the follow-up contact; other SSA offices send a copy of the original G-845 annotated “second request.”) If the DHS response is still not received within 15 federal work days after the follow-up contact (if the follow-up is by mail allow five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS), make a second follow-up contact. If the DHS response is not received within 15 federal workdays (again, if the follow-up is by mail, allow five additional federal work days of mail time for the G-845 to be received at and returned from DHS), after two follow-ups, contact the Regional Office (RO). Also report to the RO any trend that shows a serious deviation by DHS from the above time frames. The RO will consult with central office.

All cards are mailed from Social Security Headquarters in Baltimore, Maryland to the postal address provided on the Form SS-5.
