US Immigration from Brazil

Ol ,

Hello All,

Another question of inquiry. When my wife and I worked with our Attorney and we went through the process of filling out the forms, one element we selected was to have her Social Security Number issued in line with the application process. This is in lieu of making it another separate step in the process. Her EAD card was received at the attorney's office, so that's a great thing!! We were told that the SSN Card would follow in a couple weeks. It's closing out on a couple weeks, and they still haven't received it. While this is not a major pressing issue as she'll only need to have it, along with the EAD card once she she secures a job, I am just trying to avoid multiple trips to the attorney's office since it seems both items are destined to land there.

My question is...Does anyone have a time frame for when most SSN Cards get mailed out, and is there any benefit for signing up for the SSA government site to confirm it was issued or if she's even in their system yet?

We'll make the trip to the field office if necessary, but if we don't have to, that's acceptable as well.

Thanks for any information you may have on my inquiry.

Hello Everyone,

I know not everyone's case or circumstances are the same. As well, processing centers I'm certain run on different intervals as well. I simply wanted to provide some information that might be helpful/reassuring for you. As of yesterday 4/10, my wife and I received notification that her I-765 (EAD) application was "Approved". We submitted on January 14th of 2025 (Along with the I-485, I-130, and I-131). Her first biometrics was on 2/28, however we got recalled due to her fingerprints and had a second biometrics on 3/20. Based on those calculations, her I-765 was approved in 86 days. I full believe it would have been less (65 days or so) had we not had to go back for the 2nd biometrics. That alone delayed things 3 weeks. At any rate, I know my commentary may not speak to every situation, but if you're looking for some generalities for time frames, I thought you might like to hear about our outcome. We're excited that she will soon be able to work, drive and feel more included here in the US. Onward and forward!!

I filed for my wife with 2 of my grown daughters from another mother and my wife 2 children. The consulate asked for the DNA testing of my two grown daughters and one of them is negative. Can anyone please advise me on what to be expected because I m really worried and in pain at this time. She s 18 years and it s so sad that I just now find out that she s not my daughter. Will my wife and the other three children be approved or what to expect

I was arrested for driving on a suspended way before I got my GC, charge got dropped to an infraction, this happened in 2015 I got my GC in 2018 through marriage. First wife filed for divorce, and I remarried to another US citizen since then and we have a baby on the way. Turns out I m scared of traveling and also of doing my citizenship. Please enlighten me on what I m in for during the administration. I really wanna get my citizenship done and be over with it.

thank you!
