THAT IS TRUE. ONE WOULD HAVE TO MAIL THAT THOUGH. YOU CANT E FILE USING THAT METHOD. 

 

SO SOCIAL SECURITY JUST CALLED ME BACK. THE WOMAN JUST ASKED ME TO FILL AN SS-5 FORM AND GO TO THE NEAREST SECURITY OFFICE NEAR ME. ILL DO THAT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. ILL UPDATE EVERYONE IF THEY ACCEPT OR NOT. FINGERS CROSSED.

Yes  that's correct you can't efile using that method!

Let me also point out that can an employed spouse (basically cuz of no ead) jointly file for tax with the other employed spouse... I guess this goes to the K1 AOS filers like @tearsofBabylon with SSN but no ead.. @tearsofbabylon could you please indicate if you filed for tax jointly with your spouse regardless of the fact that you haven't worked since you've been here due to no ead yet?

you can file jointly even if you haven't worked and only your spouse has.

Yes you can file jointly even without work. We did.

Agreed with the others up there. 
You can add a dependent, even if this dependent doesn't work.
We didn't file jointly though.

Thanks all, but it's late cuz she just confirmed that Irs approved the filing already so I guess that's one less marriage evidence for us...

 

Still all thanks to NBC's slowness ..

No worries, if you file joint next year, you will still have something in hands.
Technically we all don't exist for taxes yet anyways.

Spoke to an IRS officer about this and was told she could amend her already filed tax while I fill the w7 form, however, the the while process has to be done manually no e-filing for the purpose... 

 

Thanks guys, really been helpful..!

But... just to mention.
If Wayoo's I-94 is expired he/she has to wait until the EAD is here. SSA only gives out a SSN basing on the K1 visa as long as the admission is not expired. 

I got my SSN the week after I arrived here. 

I didn’t apply for ssn yet. But upon ead application approval they will send ssn right?

Yes, provided you filled the new ead i-765 form while preparing your AOS packets..

 

They might arrive together or not so far from each other..

If you have applied for it along with the EAD (Section 9.a on the form I-765) then yes.
If you haven't you can go to the SSA once you have your EAD!

I am (not very) patiently waiting for my AP, we filed for AoS, EAD and AP all on the same application (January 16th). I’ve received all three i797’s and had my biometrics just over a month ago (February 14th - I know, so romantic being fingerprinted, he took me for Chinese buffet afterwards 😍). 

 

I have the USCIS app and three times now I have received a notification to say “Case Result Changed” but all it says is the exact same blurb as all the other “changes” - “we received your blah blah blah on January blah blah if you haven’t received your receipt notice by blah blah call us blah blah”.

 

Anyone else experiencing this? I’m jumping out my chair every time a notification arrives and it’s just the same old, same old. Does it mean someone has accessed our file in “the system” maybe? 

 

Also, it says the receipt notice will have instructions on what to do next but it literally has no instructions whatsoever other than if I’ve changed my address. Is that normal?
