For those with EADs. I'm wondering if its worth to submit for SSC before your GC. Considering the timeline with the Social security office. Specialty if your interview or GC is already approved or very close. And then you have to go to the social securty office again to change your new legal status. What do you think? I hope I got the message across. ;)

I have a question similar to alsteg's. I already have a Social Security card and number. It says "Authorized to work with DHS" as I came in on a F-1 visa two yrs ago and worked on campus. I'm now on OPT which expires on Aug 15th. My question is: Do I need to get my Social Securiy card changed? I believe that the number would remain. Inputs from those in similar situation would be greatly appreciated.


BTW, congrats to PraetorianXI for your EAD approval :) Great news. Here's hoping that both your cards come along soon.
 
Dont get no INFOPASS Preat.. its no necessary. You have been approved be patient.. I only had one LUD after my approval and it came about 10 days later. So be patient bra :) You are good..

You will get some approval in the mail maybe before your LUD's... :cool:

:p I do hope that my IO is just waiting until tomorrow (friday) to put into the system all of the applications he approved/denied or something. Otherwise I see no reason why I have no emails or LUDs... :mad:

I got an infopass set for the 17th just in case. :p

I went to the Social Sec Admin twice in the past two weeks to get "WORK WITH DHS APPROVAL" removed. Well the cold fact is that they need a green card to do that. A SSC for USC's takes 2 weeks, but if you have a green card it takes 4 weeks. They first have to verify with the DHS that your information is genuine.

So wait for your green cards fellas, thats all they accept. Go to www.ssa.gov for more information.

Green cards dont come from your DO. Wait for the mail, you will see they are mailed from a place other than your DO. EAD comes from Lees Summit ;)

well, thanks! That's what I'm thinking... because it takes forever to get your first card and then another forever to get the "with DHS approval" removed. It makes sense to wait for the GC. The whole process might be faster.
 
Interview checklist...

Fellow May filers,
I have approximately a month left for my AOS interview and would appreciate it if we could go through the list of documents to take for the interview. These are the documentations that I am preparing:

1) Exact copies of I-485, I-130, I-765 and I-131 application sent for AOS process and original letters of support and documents.

2) USC husband's original birth certificate, driver's licence and Social Security Card & copies for all. My notarized foreign BC and original with copies.

3) USC husband's (sponsor) paystubs for the Aug and Sept.

4) My passport , Social Security Card and I-94. Marriage certificate; original & copies.

5) My state issued employee ID and paystubs for July & Aug (I wouldn't have received salary for Sept at the interview time).

6) Latest 2 months joint bank account statements.

7) Retirement benefit with husband as primary beneficiary.

8) My state of DE employee health insurance policy with him covered.

9) Letters, cards and emails between 2000 to 2007.

10) 15 to 20 photographs at various times between 2000 - 2007 and passport stamps of us visiting Singapore together in 2003. We have only done our court marriage with the mayor and have not yet gone home to do the religious ceremonies with our families; that explains the lack of photos.

11) I plan to get a supermarket store card with both our names on it.

12) Amtrak ticket stubs and online records showing my travel from DE to NJ.

13) Wear our shiny new gold wedding bands ;)


We live in two different states about 3 hrs from each other and have been married for less than 4 mths now,therefore we do not have utility bills or lease agreements with both our names on it, but visit each other at least every month and I plan to move to NJ by early next year.

I have cell phone bills addressed to him with "Attn: My name" on the envelope that comes to my address. The telephone and cable companies told me they cannot add his name to the account at this point :mad:

What do you all think? I would greatly appreciate suggestions and additions to this list. Thanks,guys :)
 
I am leaving in the morning to go visit a friend who just had a baby and then onto Indianapolis on sunday evening for our interview at 12:30 on monday.
I will let you all know when I get home monday evening!!!!
I am beginning to get nervous but I think I have a whole bunch of evidence including both our kids birth certificates, joint bank account statements, our car title and registration in both our names, health insurance cards, car insurance bill and cards, our lease and of course plenty of photographic evidence!!!
I hope its smooth sailing!!!
