Call your nearby SS office. Tell them that you asked for your SSN in your EAD form but haven’t received it. They will check if there is something on the system. If not, you will have to go there. They should give you an appointment. Bring your EAD and another ID. that’s about it

I’m gonna add my 2 cents here since this is a topic that generates a lot of heat.
 
I did my AOS from a B2 visa with a pending consular processing (DQ waiting for interview). The B1/B2 was renewed while waiting for consular processing
 
Most of the people here are right. Adjusting from tourist visa has a lot of risk but it doesn’t make it automatically “fraud”
 
My wife got her GC through EB2 (AOS from B2 visa also) back in August 2018 and immediately we requested consular processing in Mexico (I-824 to NVC). Travelled back & forward to the US between 2018 and 2020. My tourist visa expired in July 2020 and I was able to renew it in March 2021. No question asked about my consular processing.

Came to the US and asked my lawyers about any alternative to the consular processing. They immediately suggested the AOS. I was reluctant but then they showed me all their cases and results (it is a pretty fancy law firm in South Florida) It is something more common that I thought, but you need some kind  of backstory, like mine (married before my wife applied for her GC, years of waiting, USCiS - NVC delays, months of separation, etc)
 
I submitted my AOS in September 2021 and got my GC in January 2022.
 
So yes, it is doable but with risks involved.  

Yeah, you will get several status update after this one. One of them will contain the USPS tracking number for the card. 

Yup! Congratulations!!

Hi,
 
You may try:
 
https://www.dhs.gov/case-assistance
 
My brother (similar EAD situation different underlying petition though) got his EAD few days after writing them.
 
In order to receive help from them you must:
 
-Be outside of your normal processing time
-Have contacted UsCiS regarding your case
-Have another compelling reason (my brother used hardship)
 
When asking for assistance, try to “add drama” to the petition. Like you are in a very stressful situation by not being able to work and help the family income.
 
it is not a 100% success option but I have seen a lot of people receiving their documents/approving petitions after contacting them. I believe it is worth to try

There have been a lot of interview waiver for family based AOS recently. If you filed your I-485 with medicals or send it later, it may be your approval.
 
I got the same confusion when I got mine 🤓. Congratulations!

You need to call your local office (or any office in your nearby surroundings). Ask for the status of it and if they don’t have any info, try to make an appointment. 
 
When I did my SS process, I called all the offices in a 30 miles radius close to me (Miami - Fort Lauderdale Area) and picked up the one with the less waiting time.
 
If you can’t get any info from your local office or the national service center, you are forced to do the line.

Regarding your Combo Card.. if your EAD says in the front “serves as I-512 advance parole”.. yes, you can travel . You won’t get a AP card. Next step is the GC

If you selected the box in the I-765 for the SSN, you should get around 10 business days. If you don’t get it, call your nearby SS office and ask if they have your info. If not, you will have to do an appointment and do the process manually. 
 
For your reference, my brother got his EAD (through TPS) and 3 days later his SS

I got the approval email on January 17, got my card on the mail on Jan 22

Yes, he got it. As I mentioned in the previous reply, my husband had all those boxes and the lawyers filled with my petitioner info.
 

My husband got it also. The lawyers wrote the information of my petitioner in it.
 

Yeah, you can only get the federal PC in CDMX (Oficinas del Órgano Administrativo Desconcentrado Prevención y Readaptación Social in Melchor Ocampo).
 
Before COVID you could just walk in with the necessary documentation and in less than 1 hr you were out. Now with the pandemic, you need to make an appointment and they take ages to reply. There is an “officer” outside with the list of people with appointment. He will check your name, documents and let you in.
 
Last time (December 2020) they never replied the email for the appointment so I went there and talked with the officer. He said No appointment No PC but come tomorrow at noon and we will see 🤣. He told me to bring a justification to let me in without appointment, like the interview letter or flight reservation for the next days. So I went again, he checked all documents (I brought my flight reservation) and kept me waiting outside for 30 min. Then he let me in and I was out in 45 min.

I found this blog useful for the details

The only thing is I think there is an error on the email for the appointment. In the blog entry, there is a photo of a post in the building with the email for the appointments and differs from the one mentioned in the blog (which I used in the past without any issue). I guess that’s why they never reply to my appointment request..
