We got our biometrics appointment letter and went early to keep things moving forward. So with the biometrics out of the way, how long do people typically wait to get their EAD? Does the SS# come at the same time, usually?

Hi there I just replied to your post on the March Filers forum and I forgot to mention that it'll be easier if you ad your timeline to your signature, that way you don't have to type it everytime you post on here and we can all see how you are getting along with your application.

The way to do this is:

Go to "My Controls" and on the left hand side you will see the "Personal Profile" section. Click on the "Edit Signature" and voilá!

Hope this helps!

If you want to check if your case is online, try the MSC number from the stamp on your check, but change the last digit, my cases have the same MSC number but it ends with diffrent digits.
