Interview

Hello nyfeng,

My interview is in Garden City in Long Island at the crack of dawn! I'm going to troll the stickies to find some info on preparing for the interview. Good luck to you--my info still isn't on the online uscis.gov case status online system. Go figure.

best,

Hi, I got my EAD today. I called the Florida DMV, and they told me that I need a SSN to get a driver license, but the SSN takes 2 weeks, is there any way that I can get my license here in florida with just my EAD?

Thanks.

unfortunetly we need it, i've already had this arguement with them, they will not issue in my married name until my ssn name is changed over (i had a ssn because i had worked for disney in the past.) so basically i'm in the same position. it my be worth seeing if there is a way to expidite it.
 
my mom just completed FP last week and at the same time we got an email from online status that EAD Card production ordered.
 
I got my EAD and AP today.

i am not sure that is ture maybe it different in all states i just got my DL in chicago all i dis was take my SSN, marriage cert., proof of address and they changed it for me because i have my maiden name on my SSN too, so try asking if they will accept your Marriage cert. to show proof that you are the same person but i also had a state ID from wher i used to leave b4 marriAGE.

florida law requires that DL is in same name as ssn, and ssn will not change it till u have EAD or GC, so you end up stuck in a rut. i'm finally going to get mine tomorrow.

Need Info

Hello Guys,
I am an May AOS filer. I can able to track my case online at uscis.gov. My question is when USCIS send RFE on particular case, does online status change to 'RFE sent or something '.

I submitted every supporting document possible with my application to avoid RFE but just in case.

thanks
Guru!!
 
If you get the RFE (for initial evidence) then your case won't go online until they receive your evidence.
If they send you an RFE once your case has started then it will show online that they have sent you a request for further evidence.

My case is finally online:

Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.

This basically puts me in with the May filers so I'm gonna watch their timelines too.
 
Took me a while to get EAD card. don't know why...
