I got my green card on Monday, the unfortunate surprise was that somehow they misspelled my name ( it was correct on my work/travel permit)

It turns out that my combo card will expire on August, and takes up to 6 months for them to get me a new card. Am I going to be be able to work? Or I need to renew my combo card?

Has anyone had problems changing their name on the Social Security Card. I filed for the change 4 weeks ago and still didn't receive it :/

I called the Social Security Administration today and they told me that it takes up to 3 months sometimes?!

It took me a month to get my ss

Got the interview waiver letter this week also. I suppose we are going to wait for 6 months

We're still stuck at when they got our RFE in August... at least I have my EAD but I'll have to get my drivers license before thinking about working.

Did anyone manage to get their ID with their EAD card? Or get their drivers license?

I got my drivers license with my combo card ☺️

30 questions? I thought it would be more like the k1 visa interview

Hi everyone, just curious because my I-485 status changed to testing and interview last July 9 and yet until now I did not receive any notice that they will going to schedule an interview and or interview date. It's been 42days since status changed to testing and interview? Should I need to worry and call USCIS? Most of June filers I guess got interview schedule already. Appreciate your help.

I would call them and check.

Yay, congrats, girl! You can breath easily now, lol.

yes!! Thank u

I finally got my combo card today!!

My GC still in Acceptance, but im not in a hurry

Looks like we all June filers are going to get our ead/ap this month! ?????

Yes, I have no idea if it was him or not, maybe it's just coincidence. It took forever to me anyway !

Oh you did write to your congressman?

Yes, he took like 2 weeks to answer me, asked my documents.i sent everything

One and a half week he asked to send the authorization signed. I sent today

So I don't know if it was him.

i think it was the congressmen!

i just checked my status from EAD, its finally on card production!! im sooo happy

Just received a text this morning and our INTERVIEW HAS BEEN SCHEDULED!!!!!!!! We are scheduled for September 18th!! Sooooooo beyond thrilled! Will help out tremendously with the job situation too now that he'll have his driver's license back soon! Yay!! Happy Thursday!

Congrats!! You guys are so luck!!

Hello guys, I got this from the congressmen

Dear Leticia,

I have been on the phone with the National Benefits Center. What we need asap is a new privacy release filled out with your physical address (not the PO Box). Also, please note on the release where you want your mail sent (PO Box or Physical Address). The NBC will let me go this route versus you having to send them something directly. As soon as they get at I will find out the status of your case. From what I gather, they are looking to expedite so the sooner I get this the better.

Thanks and I look forward to your reply. I'm confused, does it mean I have to sign the papers to give him the authorization to check my case, or I need to send something else? I wanna answer this right because, he took more than 2 weeks to reply me. Thanks for anymore helping

I just called our district's congressman's office and they told me that I have to wait at least 90 days from receipt of NOA before I can request for EAD expedite.

So sad. I already need to work so I can help my husband with the bills.

My congressman will not help either, I called..signed papers, 2 weeks ago

And he never answered after this. It's frustrating ??

hugs...it is hard when you are used to working and then suddenly you have all this empty free time on your hands. what have you been keeping yourself busy with lately?

I'm just home cleaning, cooking..there's not much around here, I'm living in a really small town

It feels like I sent my aos a looong time ago ???

I can't wait to go back to work, this is insane!

Nooo we apparently got an RFE. I wonder what it's about... I thought I included everything with our I-485. So bummed.

Let us know why you got a rfe.. At least they are working on your case ??

my EAD status updated again in the middle of the night, just in time for me to start work this sunday:

looks like it took about 5 days from the date of approval for them to produce the card and mail it out. will let you guys know once it arrives in the mail. i heard from my congressman's district office that you can also call USCIS to get a tracking number to track it via USPS, will do that later today.

my I-131 status is the same:

Congratulations! thats great news

Just a quick question; that I'm pretty sure I know the answer to but: Traveling within USA with my passport shouldn't be a problem? Since the passport is in my maiden name, should I just use that when I buy a plane ticket?

Yes, but ur tickets with the maiden name

Our biometric appt was on 07/02/14 and our case was updated on 07/11/14, so it only took 9 days (5/6 business days since 4th of July was in the mix) Pretty fast!! Totally not sure how soon it will be scheduled yet though...fingers crossed for soon!

that was fast!! congratulations

You need to call uscis aske to talk to a officer, and tell to send your petition again to nvc. Plus you can see the date they sent on your case uptade

i live in a town with a population of 300! im cooking, talking to people sometimes, going for a run, but

i want to work!

i will try to find a job, and expedite my case, lets see

3 July: Called USCIS, put in expedite. Was told that the local office would be contacting me in 5 days to request supporting evidence and would tell me where to fax/send it.

7 July: I called USCIS to confirm that someone was looking into my case and would be contacting me since I hadn't heard anything yet. (I had read that USCIS had previously denied expedite requests based on a lack of evidence but never asked the person to submit anything in the first place). Was told by Tier 1 that it would take another 30 days (?!?), so I asked to speak to a Tier 2. She said that if someone didn't contact me the next day, it meant the request was denied.

8 July: No news from USCIS so I wrote (faxed) to my congressman's district office. I included a letter explaining why I was writing and the basis for my expedite, job offer email from the company, some documents showing our financial obligations (e.g. rent statements, monthly bills, etc).

9 July: Congressman's immigration liaison staffer called me and said that she received my documents and would be calling USCIS. In the evening, she called again and said expedite was approved and I would hear in 3 working days from USCIS whether the EAD is denied or approved.

11 July: Status changed to card production!

Thank you very much for the explanation, and Congrats!!!

i will try the congressman again, or wait 3 months, since i dont have a job offer! the worst part is just stay at home, sooo boring
