SSN can be of different types -

1. The first type of card shows your name and Social Security number and lets you work without restriction. It is issued to:

U.S. citizens; and People lawfully admitted to the United States on a permanent basis.

2. The second type of card shows your name and number and notes, “VALID FOR WORK ONLY WITH DHS AUTHORIZATION.” It is issued to people lawfully admitted to the United States on a temporary basis who have DHS authorization to work.

3. The third type of card shows your name and number and notes, “NOT VALID FOR EMPLOYMENT.” t is issued to people from other countries:

Who are lawfully admitted to the United States without work authorization from DHS, but with a valid nonwork reason for needing a Social Security number; or
Who need a number because of a federal law requiring a Social Security number to get a benefit or service.

As soon as you recive your EAD (Work permit) You can go to the SSN Administration Office and Apply, you will need: EAD, Passport ( ID), Birth Certificate (if applying for the first time). An You will get your SSCard a week later. You have to do the same when you get your GC, and they will take of the restriction (VALID WITH INS WORK AUTHOTIZAION ONLY)from your card!
Good Luck!

Congrats, that is great news. Yes, the first interview is always called "initial." Assuming it goes well there is no need for the infamous second interview where you are placed in different rooms. Good luck!
 
Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it - and hopefully the mail will get back to normal now and we'll all be getting interview notices very soon!
 
Merry Christmas to you too. I am sure that the interview letters will reach the rest of you folks within the next week or two.

Question....
After the biometrics is done and EAD/FP are processed then where does the file go? To the local office or one of the bigger service centers?
 
Hello all,

Just wanted to join the conversation. Currently waiting for EAD for my wife.
Hope you had a great holiday.

Congrats to you!

Beyond letting me know the last time my case was touched, my online case status never changes and I have never received an email or mobile alert. :mad:
