Hiya

In todays mail, I received my pretty I-797 NOA confirming my I765 is approved.

Does anyone have any experience of how long after this NOA I will receive my EAD card?

Also, will I get a SSN automatically, or do I have to apply for one separately?

Thank you!

Hiya

Does anyone have any experience of how long after this NOA I will receive my EAD card? Hopefully in a week or two.

Also, will I get a SSN automatically, or do I have to apply for one separately? Separate government agency, you fill out SS-5 and apply at a SSA office. Don't forget your docs.

Thank you!

Good luck on your immigration journey.
