My now wife applied for a SSN 30 days after we arrived in the US.  It arrived the day before I mailed out the AOS package, in which I denoted she had a SSN and I included a copy of it with the I-765 paperwork.  The SS card has the following typed on it above her SS number "Valid for work only with DHS Authorization".  Has anyone else obtained a SSN card with the notation above?  I am wondering if it was done like this because it was issued prior to the EAD.

Once you receive your EAD card, you can go to your nearest Social Security Administration office with your wife then they will shred the one she has and mail you a new one without that condition.

They scanned all the evidence we sent (W2, paystubs, employment letter) - but as others pointed out we hadn't sent them the tax return transcripts so I'll upload those via the online platform. Apparently, W2s are only supplementary, USCIS primarily wants the tax return transcripts. 

 

If you don't mind me asking - why didn't you upload the evidence via the online tool first? I'm thinking of doing just that instead of the mail. 

I believe someone mentioned a few months ago recommending to "mail" RFE for AOS since we start i-485 via paper (online filing not available). I understand what you are saying because it is easier to upload once we have our uscis account. If it was me, I would "mail" it first. OCD haha. It's just me.

Received a letter today from USCIS for a Biometric Appointment.
