Wait a couple of days and check. The status should change once the card is produced and it'll show it's been sent to you

You can try to explain to them the reason behind you asking for their ID, most people are reluctant due to identify theft but depending on your relationship to the host, it should be fine...if not get another host if possible... refusing to give you his license for example raises a red flag...

That's interesting as Chase could not activate my account without seeing my SSN, but I did all the paperwork then had to go get my card.

You are welcome, people with kids got expedited and that's how I was in there for so long but it's a good idea not to have connecting flights. Remember that's where you sign paperwork to have your SSN sent to you. Confirm the address and ask questions.

Just queue on the visitor/foreigner line and when you get to the CBP counter they'll take the envelope and passports and direct you to an inner processing area. It depends on the number of people in the embassy-style area. I was in there for 4 hours down in Houston. Dallas should also have...

It shouldn't be long now, they'll update you once it's produced and then a couple more days you should have it..

No you cannot meet the requirement with a degree but as BritSimon says below high school is confusing especially in the UK.. ...The term High school is confusing. For instance, in the UK where I was educated, “High school” ended at 16 years old – and that would NOT be sufficient to meet the DV...

Call USCIS and inquire before you leave the country.

It is a requirement, the application might be denied at the AOS stage. Check for income requirement too. When I filed for my wife I had to have made a certain amount in the previous year. I think they use it to determine if you can be able to support your spouse when they get here.
