I’ve been watching everyone on this forum for awhile and used it to submit the applications. We have our I-485 interview next week and we still have not had the EAD approved. We submitted for a SSN to be issued with EAD. Does anyone know if we still get it with the Green card or if we have to submit the SSN application separate now? Thanks for your help. We are at the Raleigh, NC office.

you'll probably wont get EAD and SS# approved, so you will have to go to SSA after you get your GC

Our card is being produced! Thank you God!

if you read my timeline, you can follow the next updates. It can go as fast as next Friday for you since it was updated on the weekend. No guarantees, but i have seen it happen in 4 days from "in production" to "EAD in hands". It will also depend, where you live and the USPS picks it up. Ours came from Corbyn, KY according to where it was picked up.

Bet! Thank you. We filed for SSN with EAD. Did yall get a SSN or do we still need to go to SSA to apply for one?

if you applied with EAD for a SS# i would wait the 2 weeks or so for it to be mailed to you. You can, on the other hand, go and ask with your EAD in hand, if the number has been issued and you will be good to go. The card is not asked in most places, unless you go to a bank or such.

Ok thanks for your help. We applied for SSN with our EAD application.

hi everyone - i was a bit MIA because my fam/friends were in town for my birthday and now i am back on track with life.

buuuut what i realised is: i have had my EAD now for almost a month and I went to a buuuunch of interviews and nothing has happened.

I don't know if it's because of my different background and that I'm not a local, but.. I expected this to be way easier!

If I count it all together, I applied at probably 35 - 40 jobs (even jobs that would be just temporary to find something better).

Also, here in Savannah there are certainly not a looot of jobs out that match my criteria, so.. it is honestly a bit frustrating. 

I expected to get the work authorization and immediately find a job, but... now realizing that was not realistic!

 

so just saying, prepare yourself mentally that you may not immediately get a job, to not be disappointed and all that!!! 

My husband keeps motivating me that it'll come soon, and I try to believe him. I guess it's just frustrating for me as I never

had issues finding a job, but now I do...

 I thought the unemployment here is low, and it will be easy to find jobs. Just keep looking!

My husband had his AOS interview this afternoon and got approve. Online status changed to "new card being produce". PD 08/02. The whole process was fast and easy. He didn't ask no questions; just the yes and no questions.  We only give few pics, bank statements, insurance and 401k, gym membership . We were at Jacksonville, Fl office. Good luck to the rest of you

Happy to know you had a pretty smooth interview! How long did the entire process take for you?

Hi.  We received the NOA1 for my husband's AOS application in early July.  He did the biometrics months ago.  We have not heard anything since.  I'm really worried that the EAD hasn't come.  Does this mean they are just planning to deport him or something?  I won't be able to go with him because I have court ordered child support and could not get a job that pays in dollars in his country.  I can't bear the idea of being separated from him again.  The wait for the K-1 was terrible!
