Good day all I decided to check my status and saw this . Also my daughter got her ead and advance parole she's is 9 years old.. I applied for her i485 in January under my vawa, paid the fee and boom it was done she was here with me and over stayed for a while (I was a nerves wreck).. I'm excited and nerves.. it's been a long time coming.. it's been 2 years and 4 months since Catholic charities helped me file by the advise of Sandra who's been the one who encourage me to do it.. she played a major role in me believing I could do this. then I moved out of the state I filed and been representing myself and my daughter ever since.. reading and asking questions here help me with ensuring I crossed my T's and dot my I's. Hopefully all goes well with the interview and we get our green card 🙌🏾

congratulations.

Hello everyone. I wanted to know if I can request my approval notice from Vermont since I have my ead c31 which to my understanding means that my Vawa has been approved. It’s been almost 3 three weeks since I got the new card production message. I need that notice to file for my AOS and also terminate my current status which is withholding of deportation. I wouldn’t worry too much about it if I didn’t need it to file for my AOS. USCIS tend to take their time sometimes if we don’t send them a reminder lol and I don’t want that to be the case for my approval notice 

i am also waiting for mine. it is 4 weeks now i got C31. I pray we get it soon. all the best.

Just received this. Who can relate to the anxiousness? What are the common Rfe they issue?🤞🤞🤞

dont be worried at all. my request for evidence was scary. 1. Eligibility 2. proof of residence 3.Moral good character. 4.Good faith marriage . I was so worried I could not sleep. This forum helped me a great deal.  Sandra was helpful a great deal, answered all my questions right on time. @stillwinning encouraged me and kept pressuring me to pray which i did . if you need clarity please ask , the wealth of knowledge is great. so relax. It is nothing. Be encouraged .

The following page from Texas Workforce Commission says: "It is certainly legal to hire someone who is authorized to work in this country, but who does not have a social security number or who chooses not to disclose it." https://www.twc.texas.gov/news/efte/employees_without_ssns.html

That same page mentions, for example, how some employees have religious beliefs in not getting a SSN.

SSA manual has a page on Amish and Mennonites: "Other applicants may express religious concerns and want to state officially that the only reason they are applying for the number is to control the IRS-4029 and that they do not want a Social Security card mailed to them. (In some religious communities these are called control numbers, not SSNs, and individuals who have these numbers may insist that they do not have SSNs for other purposes, such as obtaining identification with the MVA.)." https://secure.ssa.gov/poms.nsf/lnx/0110225035

far too kind.I will start applying asap. Thank you

Thank you. One other thing @Stillwinning!!!😊 I am still waiting for the approval notice .it is a month already 😁

SSN isn't required to start work but the paycheck might be delayed until Payroll Department gets a SSN from you: "You don't need the SSN to start work. I arrived on December 19, started work on January 3 and got my SSN one week later. You can't be added to payroll without an SSN in most companies, but you can start working."

 

oh really. thank you very much. I was told no employer will take me because I did not have the SSN. thanks again

When your i360 got approved, where you not sent a C31 EAD? Well that's the i765 being referred to!😊

yes i got it in the mail the card. I hope I am not confusing you. Thank you for always responding 

3 minutes ago, HRQX said:

You said you received an EAD last month. Thus an I-765 was filed because I-765 is the application for EAD.

No he only filed i360. attorney refused to send the two form simultaneously at the time . in the form there is portion that ask will you want an authorization when your get approved? attorney said after approval was when he will send i765 and green card application. 

Just now, Stillwinning!!!😊 said:

The pandemic is not helping matters generally as well. A month should have being enough!💁please respond to my earlier post. Did your attorney tick that option?

@stillwinning i only filed i360 remember I told you back then . when i get the approval notice he said he will file the i765 .I just pray i get a job ontime because I dont have the fee.

Looks like maybe mazi selected "Yes" to "Do you want the SSA to issue you a Social Security card?" on the I-765 application

I did not file i765 i only filed i360. attorney said he will only file i360 on after approval does he file i765. @Stillwinning!!!😊 i have not filed yet. Thank you

I remember when I got my EAD back in 2017...don't know how it is now..I was told to wait for some time.. for my information to be on the SAVE system before I can apply for SSN. If you try to secure it earlier what you went through is what's going to happen. Except I missed something..I don't think they're sending out SSN..you have to apply for it..at least the last time I checked! Stay tuned for other contributions..I may learn something new as well.😊👍

Ok. Thank you dear @Stillwinning!!!😊 it is a month now I receive the EAD in the mail. just anxious to start applying so i can get a job as soon as possible.. you know whats us with me 😃  It means  I have to wait till social security administration office is opened then. I should hold off on sending the letter to Vermont then or what do you think?

Hi everyone, 

 I do hope we are all keeping safe at this time. 

I am yet to receive my SSN (offices are closed) but my attorney told me to wait for 2 weeks that the SSN are now sent by mail automatically when EAD is issued. 

I called Social security they asked for my EAD details which i gave and they said they do not have the request yet from USCIS. I was given an immigration number to call and ask why the SSN request has not been sent. I did call the number and they are having difficulties pulling up my information on my i360 or the EAD. I was advised to write a letter to Vermont requesting that the my SSN request will be sent to the Social security administration or I will have to wait till social security administration open (they not sure when the office will be opened because of Covid) or I send the card by mail to the nearest SS office which the SSA person warned me against because he said it could get missing. 

1. Please who has just received an C31 EAD and got SSN in the mail?

2. should I go ahead to write Vermont?

3. Did anyone who received C31 work authorization get the SSN automatically without going to the social security administration office. 

@Stillwinning!!!😊 @sandranj

I am eternally grateful for the help I got from this forum. Thank you and do have a blessed day

Hi guys!

Congrats to everyone who has been approved!🌸

 

I need your support! I’m so frustrated. 
I applied for EAD June 6 2019 and I’m still waiting... I will be applying second time for my son in a 10 days. But I’m still waiting for my card.

I was contacting senator, governor, ombudsman (he didn’t answer anything back) I sent request of expedition 3 months ago. Sent inquiry to USCIS but seems that everything just got stuck.

I will be fired May 25.

This is so so frustrating that I could save my job in this difficult times but loose it because of USCIS.

I was following rules and conditions and was doing everything they requested and this is so sad for me that I’m loosing my job because they can’t do it in time.

i have a child. 8 years old.

I have some small savings.

My tax return get stuck in the same way.

 

Just need your support. Because nobody can understand me as good as you guys. Who know how hard it really is😭

Thank you🙏🏻

I pray this is resolved asap. my heart breaks . I am positive something will happen before the 25th. even if it is for the sake of your son ,God will arise on this.  I will be praying for you. hang in there dear one. you will not loose your job.

I am here answering questions  since 2005, and everyone knows that I don't talk here often about God. I  respect all religions. I am christian, and a I am a christian missionary as well.  During this difficult time that we are living I want to ask each one here to pray to God to heal our land. We need God's divine healing. God gives us a promise for the united prayer of two or three who agree in what they ask. Brazilian's people are often getting together for the "united prayer" with one purpose, to ask God to heal the land.(see video below)

 

One of my friends died of coronavirus, and she was younger than me. My accountant almost died, and I have another friend battling this terrible virus. May the Lord keep you and your family safe,I am praying for you.  Visa Journey moderators you and your families are in my prayers as well.

 

2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) 14 "if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

 

 

 

 

@sandranj you are in my prayers. I pray God comforts you. sending you hugs. God will heal your friend and keep you safe . Amen

Your EAD is sent to you by USCIS because they process it themselves...you will have to apply for your SSN from the SS office as that's where it will be processed. Except there has been a change I missed, this is the situation regarding your enquiry.😊👍

Many thanks my dear . Grateful 

good day to you, 

Please after do I have to apply for social security? My friend says I have to but my attorney said No, that it will be sent to the mail jut the same way work authourisation was sent. . I am confused and I need clarity. Thank you and God's blessings.  @Stillwinning!!!😊  @TBoneTX @sandranj
