Yayay!! finally i got an update for my EAD card is being produced. I can work and not just wait for the mail man everyday lol.

I was wondering how do you apply for a social security number?

Hi all!

Happy Halloween. I had a great present today on my first halloween when I went and checked the mail - my EAD card arrived!! So excited - now its off to my local office to get a social security number on Monday. It seems like a great day to get it - there will definitely be celebrations to be had tonight!

Tyhni I think you just need to go to the local office and fill out a form and its that easy? Have a look at the guides section because I'm pretty sure I saw a section on getting your SSN. Let me know how you go anyway!

hi 1luvv

i hate to alarm u cuz i really don't know what REGULAR timeframes are, but all sept filer seemed to have gotten a biometrics appt by now.. i filed on the 21st of sept a few days before you.

i think you might want to call the USCIS number to check status..

Hi thisislove,

thank you for your concern. i received biometric letter already on 10/28 which was exactly a month they received my application and i did walk-in on 10/29.

thank you.

WOO WOO My Greencard was approved!!! The interview was so easy! The lady was nice and friendly and seemed more curious about or wedding (asked how long it took to plan, where I bought my veil, why we chose Vermont, etc.). She was also curious about all our travels and was asking what place we liked the most! She told us about her upcoming wedding and how I was the same age as her daughter. It was such a pleasant experience!!!! She approved us on the spot and then we went out in the waiting room and waited for them to issue the letter (this took another hour or so). The card was sent out on Friday and should arrive this week! I can't believe the whole process took less than 60 days! I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole experience. Good luck to all!

Dont be nervous at all. It will go smoothly. We went overprepared and they ended up only asking for our passports. You will be fine!

I posted this in another thread but I thought it would be helpful to all the September filers out there preparing for the interview. Hope it helps. Good luck...

So my Greencard application was approved on Thursday during our interview!!! We had a great interview. The officer was super friendly and didn't try to trick us with any of her questions. She seemed generally curious about our wedding, travels, etc. BUT, while we were waiting for our names to be called for the interview we were talking to other couples as they were coming out of the interview rooms and learned some interesting stuff. One lovely couple was asked a ton of questions in an attempt to catch them with different answers. They asked the husband (the American) to fill out a questionnaire with the following questions:

1. What kind of toothbrush does she use (electronic or regular/manual)?

2. What kind of flooring to do you have in the house (carpet, hardwood, tile, etc.)?

3. What did you eat for dinner last night?

4. What did you do last night? This couple answered that they watched the basketball game. The officer's follow-up question was, "Who won the basketball game?"

The officer then verbally asks the same questions to the wife (non-American) to see if they match up. Both the husband and the wife stays in the room the whole time. They also have a video camera in the room but the officer only uses it if they strongly suspect it is not a bonafide union.

I thought this was all very interesting. By the time we got into the room I was nervous after hearing these stories but was pleasantly surprised with the nice officer and was in and out of the interview in 20 minutes (you do have to wait another hour or so for the letter to be printed after being approved). Overall, It took us less than 60 days from start to finish so I have nothing but positive things to say about the whole process. I guess it all depends if you raise a red flag or not. I just wanted to share my experience and give everyone a heads up if they are preparing for their big interview! Good luck to all!!

My biometrics were done on october 17 and I didn't receive anything since that time and on-line status was not updated , last touch was on 01-october , i read that from time to time on-line status updates not on time . And usually it takes 2-4 weeks before you get your work permit .
