[MRS-R-L-Dexter 0]

hey guys, well i got my letter for my interview for our I-485 interview which both me and my husband have to go to our interview is October 14th at 8.30am in charleston SC.

i have a couple of questions

1) my work autorization was issued and expires after a year, will this change when i get my green card?

2) when my Green Card is issued do i use that to work?

3) do i still have to renew my work authorization 90days before it expires when i have my green card?

4) when do i get a social number?

and last one i promise

5) how long will my green card be issued for after/if we are aproved?

thanks guys so happy things are moving along so quickly, trying to get work is hard though there is hardly anything out!!!

After you get the green card that will serve as your EAD, so no need to reapply/renew that.

As for the SSN, Im not sure what visa youre on, but I believe you can go to a social security office an apply now.

I would check the processing times on this site to get an idea of how long itll take.

i came over on a WVP and after my second visit my now husband asked me to marry him so we applied for the I-130 and the I-485 and i think thats it now 100% though as had a very good attorney who help us with every little bit of paper work, i have a work authorization now so do i apply for my SS card when i get my green card?

sorry for all the questions guys i did search the site for while looking the answer to my questions

Yep! In 21 months from GC issuance you have to apply to remove conditions and get the 10 year GC.
