SSN application with I765 email notification possible?

[kenmw]

Hi all:

Question: Can my wife apply for SSN with the printed email notification of her I765 approval notice? Or she need to have the physical card to do so?

Here is my wife AOS case with the letters we received yesterday.

AOS timeline

8/Nov/2004 - I-130approved (online)
12/Nov/2004 – Mailed AOS/EAD to Newark (then to MSC)
13/Nov/2004 – Received I-130 approval letter
15/Nov/2004 – Notified Newark and NVC (NH) of the I-130 approval
22/Nov/2004 – Received NOA-1 for I-485 fingerprint and biometric (RD: 15/Nov/04)
22/Nov/2004 – Received NOA-2 for EAD biometric (RD:15/Nov/04)
17/Dec/2004 - Fingerprint and biometric appointment
26/Dec/2004 - Email notification that fingerprints received and I-485 process resumed.
6/Jan/2005 - I765 approved (received email notification on 7/Jan/2005)

Now waiting for her I-765 card.

You have nothing to worry about now. She needs her EAD card, though. All you need is the card and her passport. It wont take long. You should get her EAd within no more than a week and SS card after that within 10-business days.
Patience. I remember I got the approval e-mail on monday and on the following Monday received EAD in the mail.
