I had exactly the same problem with the social security office. They will not let you change the name until you have an EAD or a green card

I just changed my address four weeks ago and it worked fine.

How many digits is your recipe number?

My one is MSC-xx-xxx-xxxxx

Call 800-375-5283 and ask them for the USPS tracking number of the AP card. Maybe it got lost at USPS

there is nothing to congratulate. I will need to reapply and go through the whole process again because uscis says it is not there fault. Im ready to leave the USA, this is a way to messed up process and the financial losses of not being able to work and destroying my career by not being able to work are to huge

Hello together,

I can't believe it but after USCIS not USPS is messing it up. No clue why anyone would send documents anyway via USPS and not FedEx or USP.

My EAD Card was suppose to arrive on Wednesday according to the Trackingnumber I got from USCIS. Since Tuesday it is somewhere in New York and I doubt that they will ever find it. I already have a Service Request send to USPS and I call them all the time but obviously there are no help.

Is there a way I can request a new EAD card with USCIS before the 30 Day waiting time is over? Has anybody ever done it? Clearly if they don't find it by the end of the week it makes no sense to wait another two weeks and I really need to work

I did a walk-in in New York City and got processed without any problems

Thank you Darnell,

that was the perfect hint. Always appreciate your input!

Hello,

I still have my Social Security Card/Number from the time I was here with a J1. I just went to the office to get my name changed but the women told me "since you have a pending EAD application the K1 ( stated on the I-94) is no longer valid and I can not get the name changed. I asked her if I can use this SSN as soon as I have my EAD since the number will still be the same even if the name changed. And she that "No" I have to get it changed before I can take any jobs.

Do you have any experiences with this?

I just don't want to wait for the EAD card and then another two weeks for the name change on my social security number

Stay and do the AOS. IT won't be more expensive the the CR1

if they invite you to an interview then tell them what you told us. There was no intent to stay in the USA after marriage.

It is not true what some people wrote here, that you need the K1 to get married. You need the K1 to be allowed to stay in the USA after the marriage.

MCS/NBC is handling all family based AOS and those who require an interview (not all K1 do) will be send to the local service center.

Sabine ja ?

Ja ;-)

great thank you for your answer. So it doesn't make sense then that I can not choose it in the time line for EAD and AP. Most other people state that they are in Chicago Service Center

Hello together,

I got my NOA1 for I-485, I-765 and I-131 and the case number starts with MSC

After some research I figured out that MSC is the former Missouri Service Center and now known as National Benefit Center.

I can not even choose this service center in the time line drop downs, so my question is: Is it normal that the AOS application is processed at the National Benefits Center?

I just checked my Visa and the petitioner is definitely my fiancé. Write an E-mail immediatly to the Frankfurt consulate that there is a mistake. They are very fast in responding to E-Mails

i couldn't find any way in NYC to not do the drivers test again? Where did you get this info from?

Write them an E-Mail now. I wrote them after 10 days and they changed my visa to "issued" immediately.

Same happened to my brothers green card. After six month his wife wrote an E-Mail and they approved it within one day. Sometimes cases just get lost.

So don't wait another week, they are really friendly and have answered me to at least three emails within two days

You do not have the passport anymore with the Visa inside? It says so in the passport

we put two pictures and two flight itinerary in the package. I think it really depends on the country you are from and where you met

It took me from the 3rd of september to the 15th to receive my visa. Status changed for the first time on the 10th.

don't worry it will come

Its not lottery based. There is a specific amount of visas given out every year for H1B. I think 60.000. Start of application is April. When they are all gone, then there is no more chance to apply

The only work visa H1Bn and L1 visa are dual intent visa. So this would not be a fraud when it comes to the immigration intent

use meetup.com

our Number was assigned 30 day after NOA2. So just wait another week

this website says clearly

- I148 has to be filed

i would get an info pass and talk to a representative of USCIS. That goes against their official website

Mine left NVC on the 22 and I got packet three on Friday. So from Eastcoast to Australia is longer I can see it beeing there today or tomorrow

Congrats how exciting! May I ask who recieved the packet..beneficiary or petitioner? Email or hard copy?

Thanks!!

Hard copy to the beneficiary.

Received packet 3 today! Took them about 8 days from receiving the case to send out packet 3
