Hey all! My husband is adjusting status from the K1 visa. He also applied for the employment authorization and I checked his case status online and it says card issued. Does that mean we are just waiting for his employment authorization card to come in the mail? Does it also mean he has been issued a Social Security number? And is there anyway to check on this? Any help appreciated. I would be happy if all this happened so quickly

Sounds like his EAD is on the way.  It would be nice if you updated your timeline in order for the algorithm to use the data in generating the average time for EAD processing.  If you check the box on either the I-485 or I-765, then he should get a Social Security Card also (from the SS Administration).

Let me work on my timeline! Thanks for the response. EAD took less than a month if that’s the case! Thank You Jesus!

My husband’s EAD was approved in April. We ended up calling SSA and they said his SSN and card were issued the same day as his EAD. So your husband could always call SSA to double check (though be prepared to wait on hold for a long time).

 

Incidentally, the first SSN card they sent my husband never arrived, so he had to apply for another one. That one arrived about 4 weeks later.
