They have not. I pay by check so it may take a few days. Thank you.

You sent it to Texas, but does it say if it was processed in Texas or forwarded to Arizona?  We are in the same position of having sent my wife's i-751 to Texas and having it delivered after the address change.  Still waiting to hear from them. 😬

I sent it to Texas. And my case number is with Potomac. Your wife will receive the text soon

I dont know if they don't charge my credit card tomorrow I'm mailing everything again to AZ

They said it may take 3-4 weeks. I will wait for a month to see what happens.

I'm wondering the same I mailed mine to Dallas it shows that it arrived on the 24th but no response yet 😕

Guess we have to wait more than usual

I sent the package on Aug 15 to Lewisville, TX and it was delivered on Aug 20. No news as of today. 

Does anyone know what happens when they changed the mailing address on Aug 19, and whether or not people like me will get impacted or delayed? Thank you.

no. i wish. Haha! Im actually feeling anxious because before we decided to stay here and filed for AOS, My husband and I booked for a trip and unfortunately tickets and the cruise are nonrefundable. It will be in May. I looked at Orlando timelines, and the processing time is very unpredictable. Lots of cases are still pending for interview  as far as Feb 2017. I'm so scared that what if the interview will be the time we are gone and we potentially lose what we paid for. just sad  I don't really stress too much about how long it will take because of the EAD. its just the timing of the interview.

I understand how you feel. I hope the interview will come at the right time. Definitely it will be!!!

i called their hotline, they cant even trace it if they have issued me something or not. WHen did you got approved again?  I've been approved for 3 weeks now. Surely either it never got to them or mr postman lost it

I got EAD approved on Jan 2, received card yesterday, and today received SSN. You had better come in person for being assisted because employer will need it from us definitely. Have you heard anything abt I485?

1 minute ago, shakeyy said:

unfortunately i haven't I don't know why. I will just visit SSA office next week and apply in person

Yeah!!! Check with them first if they did issue one SSN for you already and it is just only pending on delivery process!!!

old school style. From mr postman. Haha.  Sign up for Informed Delivery if you haven't 

Hi @shakeyy, I have just received my SSN today already. How abt you?

Haha! Thanks sis! So happy!!!!

Happy for Janice!!!!!! It seems like any of us starts to get what we expect for. Yeah!!!

Let keep up together and share about our interview experience as well as EAD/AP/SSN received.

USPS informed that I am going to receive a package from USCIS, I am pretty sure it is a combo card.

Also, for those who do not have SSN yet, I would love to share this post for your information. I have no idea that we can apply for SSN through from I765 indeed. Does anyone know this fact? @shakeyy

https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/USCIS/Working in the US/EBE_Flyer_Apply_for_your_Social_Security_Number_While_Applying_for_Your.pdf

Oh I have just looked back to my I765 application. There truly have 2 questions to ask you to apply for SSN and I chose YES. So it is supposed that I will receive my SSN card after 7 business days (as they mentioned) I get my EAD card.

Hey guys, hope everyone is doing good!

Just booked my medical exam appointment for next Monday and it's gonna cost me $350. Lab tests not included ugh.

Anyways, my interview is coming up next Friday. I know the results might not be done in 3 days but I absolutely can't get to a doctor earlier than Monday so... might get a RFE at the interview.

Already freaking out - 11 days to go!

Be confident and you will be alright. Let us know about your experience on the upcoming interview. You are the first I guess!!!! Good luck.

I actually went to a clinic that accepted my insurance, then gave the results to the civil surgeon. Cost me $200. I'll take any penny I can save.

We should have met before, it costs me $340 for civil surgeon  but I am happy in the way it already includes everything required.

I live near Tysons Corner. I just left my job even though I just received my approval for H1B visa, so I'm still chilling. I'm on day 62th, already have jobs lined up contingent on EAD. 28 more days and I'll pick up that phone.

I love bubble tea. I go to Eden Center once a week. You can inbox me your #. I'll text you back

 

I have just sent you a message here, check it up. Nice to know you!!!!!!

I've been silently following you JVjourney. It's nice to know that a fellow Vietnamese in the DC area is getting EAD. I hope I'll get it within the 90 days as well (November filer).

Oopppssss!!! Why silently? I am much happier if finding one Vietnamese friend in this forum, especially we are on the same process. Where are you living right now? I am in Centreville. Let go out for coffee or milk tea if you are not too far away from me.

We can give each other phone number to keep in touch as a friend if you would like. How is everything with your application so far?

oh thats good to know. I'll let him know

 

Those letters are prob approval for both ead and ap.  didn't you get your ead card yet?

Not yet @shakeyy, I will receive 2 letters today and one of them is approval for EAD. Maybe I need to wait until next week to receive the combo card. How does it look? I am excited for that.

Does the combo card mean that it can be used for both EAD and AP purpose? I have no idea about the reason why they normally call it combo card. You already received it, let share your opinion to me.

Btw, I have completed my vaccination/check up request with the total cost $340. Tdap, flu shot, and TB test. I am going to doctor office today to get the result of urine and blood test, TB test, as well as all the paperwork. 

Also, I have been informed that I will receive 2 letters from USCIS today and one of them is approval for my EAD (the same which @shakeyy shown before). I am so excited for that.

Wish all of us have the best luck in new year!!!!

Not really. I need it so my husband can add me to his health insurance... let me know if you get it please...

 

 

My husband can add me to his health insurance although I have not got my SSN. We submitted to them marriage certificate, my identification paper and they gave us up to 6 months to submit my SSN to them. You can check again with the insurance company for their help. My husband's insurance company is United Healthcare.

Hi guys!

 

I got so excited today because my USPS informed delivery says I have two mails from USCIS.... But unfortunately I'm out of town until saturday..

BUT I can read the first sentence of the other mail... It says we have approved your application for employment authorization and advance...

Not sure what could the other letter be....  

 

Its indeed a very merry christmas!!!  Happy Holidays everyone!

 

 

So happy for you!!! Super fastttt!!!

Cant wait until you let us know what the content really is!

Enjoy the whole holiday everyone!

Just want to update for you all here that today, I received the courtesy letter from USCIS given the fact I-693 has not been yet submitted together with I-485. At first, it scared me with its yellow color lol.

Anyone here already had done I-693 can give me an estimated cost for it please. Appreciate :x

Btw, I have done biometrics for I765 on Nov 22. And recently I received another biometrics appointment for I485 as expected. It will be on Dec 22. Just update for those who have more than one biometrics appointment should not be worried as I used to be lol.
