How Long to Receive Temporary Adjustment of Status?

Then why do they have this on their website? It can't just be the EAD alone, you need an SSN in most states, or a letter from the SSA stating why you can't get one. Plus other docs to further prove your identity and address.

This is not true for every state, Virginia does not give DLs based on EAD.

There is a huge debate around it but VA will not issue/renew DLs based on just EAD.

My wife came from the Philippines April 2013 and we filed for AOS Feb 24, 2014 and she just received her actual green card today in the mail. Her approval was exactly 5 months to date from the filing. Just remember timelines are subjective. We went through the Manchester NH Field Office and had a great experience.

Looks like I am good for Iowa:

"Record of Arrival and Departure (I-94) with attached photo and stamped “Temporary Proof of Lawful Permanent Resident”(The Iowa DOT will not issue a DL or ID if your immigration document shows your remaining status is less than 30 days.)"

and about SSN:

" I am a temporary foreign national not authorized for employment. (You do not have to document a SSN, but the Iowa DOT will verify your USCIS number. Make sure you are not authorized for employment. If you are eligible for employment but do not have a SSN, you are required to obtain and present one.) "
