Approved! =D Interview was pretty straight forward. We didn't have to wait that long to be called in. Aside from the standard questions that they ask, and standard oath taking, there were no questio

it depends on the office, and the dmv employee. two years ago, I tried and failed to get a florida ID for my dad who had just applied for SSN at the DMV near 826 & 27th avenue or the DMV near FIU on 8th Street. However, I was able to get the ID at the DMV in the mall of Americas near flagler and 826. good luck

EAD card received yesterday. Now to apply for SSN

My husband received his EAD in the mail yesterday as well and even though he's been approved for the GC, we figured that we'd run down to the SS office to apply for one since he's waiting to accept a job and any extra time having it will help! The people at the office were pleasant but they were unable to verify him in the system. They said that it was right on the cusp of the ten days that it normally takes DHS to update their system. They said that they would hold on to the application and try to process it every day until he shows up in the system. You're on the same timeline as us for the EAD..same approval date, same day receiving it. I hope yours is already in the system by the time you get there!

Hi,

Just to let you both know that if you apply to SS without your green card, you will have an annotation on the card: Valid for work only with DHS authorization. This is the reason why I am waiting for my GC to do it. :P

Yes it sucks to see those words there but he needs the SSN to start work and also to apply for driving permit. I though they all say that unless you are a US Citizen?

I went to one of the DMV offices in Miami, and the guy who helped told me to wait for SSN. The thing is that when I went to apply for SSN I was given a paper that they had to verify my status with DHS as I was not coming up on their system, and this process could take up to 4 weeks.

Those words do not matter lol, Most citizens don't even have the card itself. I believe is just a matter of time before they stop issuing them.

Exactly! We're not worried about what it says on the card. We just want to get the SSN ASAP. His job just hired him without the social security number since the form he received from the SS office said that it's perfectly legal to work until you receive your actual card. We just need to turn the number into them the day we receive the card.

We'll deal with updating the SS card when he gets his GC but he's losing his mind not working or driving!
