Congrats to all the may filers with good news, i got some too :yes:

Our AOS (K1/K2) got transfered to the CSC on July 25th :dance::dance::dance:

Congrats to you!! Lucky you got your case transferred. Ours havent gotten transferred and Im hoping so that I wouldnt have to go to another interview. We did get our EAD and AP in hand and going to DMV next week to get my drivers learner's permit extend as it had expired already, and got to change my restrictions on my SS card since Im authorized to work now. Just applied for some nursing jobs hope I get a job within this month.

You can only change the restriction with the GC. Your EAD is the DHS authorization.

Yes, thank you. I already got my EAD and you only need that to remove the restrictions from SS card. As my EAD expires 7/2009 so I can work and dont want to bring my EAD card everytime I apply for work so by changing the restirctions on my SS card, I won't have to go through any verifications. I already went to SS office and they said all I need was my EAD to remove my work restrictions on my SS card.

They misled you. The EAD is the authorization you need to work with your SS Card. The only way you can work without DHS authorization (EAD) is if you're a citizen or LPR. And that's the only way you can have that restriction removed from the SS Card.

Think about it, when your EAD expires wouldn't you be walking around with a SS card with no restriction?

Correct, the with DHS Auth will stay on your SS Card as the EAD is the auth that is referred to. However, Abby-Ron can still change the SS Card to reflect married name instead of maiden name.
