All,

 

We sent the AOS package for my wife on 2/22 and got a 2/26 NOA. On 2/29 NBC MO sent Affidavit it of Support RFE, which I replied to on 3/12 via paper mail. I have been checking the USCIS page for updates and the EAD estimates have been consistent at 2-3 weeks. Well, yesterday afternoon the mailman dropped off my wife's SSA card (with the DHS work restriction of course). But the USCIS website still showed "in progress." What gives? Does SSA gets automatically notified when we submit package (or gets approved) and issue a card?

If you checked the box on either the I-485 or I-765 for a SSN, then the Social Security Agency is notified, and they issue a card.  Any RFIE for the I-485 such as an I-864 problem will pause the EAD until the RFIE has been satisfied.  It would have no effect on the Social Security card delivery since it cannot be used for work without the EAD being issued.

Makes sense. But is it a permanent number assigned to her that can we use that use it for filing taxes? I can't' submit the 1040 without SSN or ITIN. Will she keep the same SSN after the AOS/Green Card process finishes?

 

Thanks!

Is this a K1?
