Greetings All, As you know I received "Recommeded Approval". I have applied for the EAD, and should receive it by the end of the month. My question is: Once I have the EAD what is the next step? Do I go to the local Social Security Office to get my SSN or do I just start looking for...

Just an interesting observation: after receiving recommended approval, it is clear that we apply for an EAD. This will allow legal work to be carried out. My question is this: With recommended approval whilst awaiting the EAD, is it permissable and legal to be allowed to start your own small...

Hi Room, I would like to know how we all survive while waiting for the INS outcome on an application. We know work is not allowed, so during the 180 days how have you survived? Is there any form of assistance available to Asylum Seekers while outcomes are pending? How do you live, how do you...

Hi room, This is a silly question, but I have gone to the BCIS website, and tried checking for my Online status, and it says to enter a 13 digit number. Well, my "A" number inculding the "A" does not even reach 13, so am I using the right number or not? Where is the number located, and does it...
