If you have never opened any accounts with your social security number, then you would not have a reportable credit history.

Thank you so much for your answer. I was so stupid  !! Thank you again!!!

"Valid for work with DHS authorization" means you have to have an EAD or green card in order to legally work.  

Have you opened any accounts using your social security number?  

Hi! No I have not opened any accounts until now! Oh that's the reason! 

"valid for work only with DHS authorization" is written in my SSN. What is this? I tried checking my credit score in Credit Karma but it doesn't work

Nice! How long did it take?

It only took about 5-6 months

My combo card is approved! I received it last week by mail  !!!!!!! 

I appreciate everyone who gave me answers to my questions here. I'll also try to answer many questions as much as I can.

Thank you all!!!

P.S. Also, I-485 is "Case is ready to be scheduled for an interview"

If you filed your aos in 2019 is possible that you’ll get your interview notice before you even get a work permit and that’s great cause having a green card ceases the need of an ead and in any case a lot of jobs frown upon work permits. Good luck 👍🏽🍀 

Oh wow!! Thank you so much for the info. Now I am so happy to hear that!! 😆💓💓💓💓 Thank you again!!! ☺️

Your not alone.   Hundreds of us in the exact same situation.   The i485 takes it's own path and is not connected to the i765 or i131

Thank you so much! 🙏🏻I thought my case had a problem

My case is ready to be scheduled for an interview BUT my combo card is still pending(no news for 162 days). What is going on with mine? Most of people here seem to receive the combo card first. Should I call the USCIS?

There are so many people who have good knowledge and help others....

I've also just found that this website shows the estimated date for each process.. 

How long does it take to get approved for I-131? My case has been 120 days .

I miss my mom.....

Thank you so much for letting me know!! :)♡

Hi!

I didn't know I could apply for SSN with I-94 (The I-94 is expired), so I missed the chance to apply for SSN.

After receiving NO1 for AOS from USCIS, I applied for the State ID card and received it.

My question: Is it possible to apply for SSN with the State ID card or I have to wait until I receive EAD?

thanks

Hi @WaterLeaf

Thanks for sharing the interesting news with me! I've just read the news article. I'm glad that I and my husband are financially stable. It's so sad some people would get denied with that reason.

Uscis has several online tools, projected case processing times by application type and processing center is but one of them

Oh, wow, I didn't know that. I'll try using it. Thank you so much, Payxibka!!

Interesting, I may have been outdated for a bit. Does the 2.5 to 5 month part goes for all centers or just the NBC (National Benefit Center?)

 

JOOK, did you get your NOA1 yet? I think you did according to your first post... but your timeline is empty on your profile.

Also, you may want to check out this thread if you are a July 2019 AOS filer: https://www.visajourney.com/forums/topic/711545-july-2019-aos-filers/#comments

Hi WaterLeaf! Yes, I received NOA1 on June!  

Thank you so much for sharing the link with me. I gotta check it!!

Take your time reading across the forum here, you'll see why it can be 4-7 months.

 

Each processing centers get slammed with packages that needed to be reviewed and filled out daily including double checking. In this time frame, this is the best time for you to find out more what are your rights during your stay and what are your best protection and defenses to study up on so you don't accidentally get yourself into the trouble. Here is a starter as fip&jim sent to me a while back... thing you should carry:

There is information on the ACLU website (American Civil Liberties Union) and the National Immigration Law Center about how to deal with various scenarios that could happen with the police or ICE. 

I also found the link for that here ---> https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/immigrants-rights/

https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/stopped-by-police/#ive-been-stopped-by-the-police-in-public

 

Hopefully this will help you spend some time reviewing some things. Not trying to go off topic but I kind of did, oops.

Oh my gosh. Thank you so much for this information. I really mean it!!

Betwern 2.5 and 5 months from filing is what the processing times are being reported 

Thank you! That was I wanted to know! (expected time)!

Know? Not possible.

: ( I know I used an English word "KNOW", but I was just asking about "expected date." I know you are not USCIS, so of course, you can't know the date. ha..

I don't know why you are so negative like that. Thanks for your time to leave a comment here. : (

Hi!

I really want to have SSN here. I didn't know I could get SSN with I-94 (I was stupid  . It's already expired).

I found information that I can receive SSN if I have the EAD.

USCIS received my Form I-764(Application for Employment Authorization) on May 9, 2019.

Is there anyone who knows when I'll be able to receive it?

thank you  

@K1visaHopeful Thank you so much for your reply with details!! 

Hi!

I had filed I-485 few months ago, and I received "Request for Evidence" last week. So, I sent the evidence (joint-sponsor) to USCIS. I can see "Response To USCIS' Request For Evidence Was Received" in the USCIS website. It shows that USCIS received my response. Is it possible to know the estimated timeline for receiving EAD?

Thank you all! 

=========

I received "Request for Evidence" from USCIS = last friday

I sent the evidence = 3 days ago

USCIS received my evidence = 1 day ago

@Ben&Zian Thank you so much for giving me details about this. I feel so relieved now. I hope I can get NOA 1 soon. Thank you so much again!!! 

@Lil bear  thank you so much!! I will wait for it. And I will also check if they received my money order!!!

@Lil bearThank you so much for your comment I worried about it so much. I'm so stupid.. I thought expiration date is the one written in the K-1 Visa (As you know the due date written in K-1 visa longer than the expiration date written in I-94)

@Lil bear Thank you so much for your advice. Is there any possibility to be rejected by USCIS because of this?
