Received this noticed yesterday, December 7th. Post date was December 1st and the status didn't change on the website until the 6th. I guess the I-765 and the I-131 got approved together but the I-131 still says pending.
My wife had the same problem. She went to the SSA and they told her that she first needs her EAD before she can make the change. We are in Massachusetts.
Congratulations, but I think you belong in this post instead.
My wife just had her Biometrics done today, hopefully she'll get her employment authorization card soon.
I didn't send my tax returns from last year because I hadn't made enough money, I ended up sending my bank statements along with the tax return and transcript. I'm still waiting for them to acknowledge that they received my RFE.
You should've been eligible t get a SSN with just your K1. You can also get it with just EAD.
My wife got hers with just the K1 and I've met people that got it with the EAD
You no longer need to prove legal status to get a driver's license in Massachusetts. You won't be able to get a real ID though.

I received a request for initial information. I didn't send a copy of my tax returns because I didn't make enough money last year but I had started a new job so I sent the letter of employment along with pay studs, but I guess it wasn't enough.
