thanks. Besa. Guess we will just wait for the approval... sigh.. when ever that will be. I thought waiting for the interview was hard, this sucks way more!

We keep going over the interview and what was said and how things went.. man it can drive you crazy!! Thank god we were not told to come back, or separated. I know it could have been worse.

Congratz Sensiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

*danse la samba*

April Filers rule indeed!

PS: It's not true everywhere, since I got my SSN only with EAD in 3days. Looks like people in SoCal are luckier with administrations than NYC...

Got a question, when did u get the EAD and how soon did u apply fot the SSN because that matters.

Hey guys,

I need some advise please. How long did it take you guys to get your SSN card. I went today and the rude woman behind the glass told me it could take 4 - 8wks.

MP0009 how long did it take you?

ummm idk wat the heck the lady was taking about 4-6 weeks? the lady at the queens office told me i would get mine within 2 weeks and i applied on monday and i got my card at saturday...

WOW that would be weird if u went 2 brooklyn office and they told u something else, its the same freakin city!!

and i applied using my ead.. and yes I checked legal and able to work and everything turned out fine.

Good Luck!

so um i started writing a whole letter than accidently erased th whole thing

the point is tht i am APPROVED! YES

Yayz!!! Major Congratz Hunny!! Im very glad u got approved! Finally no more stressing!!

and u got a stamp!! Woo-hoo!! U can leave legally! Yay!

I have a question! I am trying to fill out the SSN form, and I am confused!!

My hubby is an overstay, we have not been approved for the I-130 or the I-485 yet. but he has an EAD card.. So is he legal or illegal? It says proof of immigration status ie I-94.. his is now expired

The Ead is good till next year, so what the hell do I check.. Legal and able to work?

UGGG.. I am so confused. Does he have to have a SSN right now, guess he better call his boss-to-be.

Yea wit the EAD u can def get a SS number! u can work wit EAD and to work u need a SS number so u def can apply wit an EAD. And I checked legal and able to work and I was also an overstay like over 5 years.

Good Luck

Got a question, when did u get the EAD and how soon did u apply fot the SSN because that matters.

Got EACard in the mail 06/19, applied 06/21, got number 06/23, got SSN card in the mail 06/28.

A question poped in my head for jannah: did they let you hubby keep his EACard? because you need to show it to get SSN, and they often take it at the interview.

[MP0009 4]

Got a question, when did u get the EAD and how soon did u apply fot the SSN because that matters.

well idk if that matters... i got my EAD saturday 17th and the following monday 19th went to get my SS card and got my card on saturday 24th. so i was suprised how fast that was

[Krys & Nova 2]

Ok ppl, let me help out...

Its better to wait until u get the physical GC to apply for the SSN. If u go and apply using ur EAD, they'll tell u to wait for verification thus the 2-4 week wait.

When u go with the GC or stamped passport, it'll take overnight for the system to update. Ya get the GC monday, go same day and u can return to SSA on tuesday to get the print-out of your number.

In your case, you should have been able to get the print-out tomorrow, unless they want tp see the card.

See my signature for how long it took me.... with the GC in hand

thanks besa... I give them until Monday to send me my receipt. If not, back to the office I go. So much red tape...

let me tell you guys a joke... The lady behing the window at first was trying to tell me that she couldn't give me a SSN because my passport and EAD have different last names. I was like; I got married, I took my husband's name (good thing I had my marriage certificate).

ummm idk wat the heck the lady was taking about 4-6 weeks? the lady at the queens office told me i would get mine within 2 weeks and i applied on monday and i got my card at saturday...

WOW that would be weird if u went 2 brooklyn office and they told u something else, its the same freakin city!!

Thanks MP. I swear government workers ARE THE WORST!!!!

well what im sayin is that just because u get the EAD doesnt mean it was updated in SSA's system. like mine had taken a couple days so thats y i asked

[MP0009 4]

well what im sayin is that just because u get the EAD doesnt mean it was updated in SSA's system. like mine had taken a couple days so thats y i asked

Well I would think it would be updated in the system already. Cuz by the time u get ur card the EAD form has been aproved for like week and a half alreaddy (since the first email we got bout ead but maybe it depends on the speed and how organized the local office is)

[besaangel 18]

Noth and MP, u waited a couple days to apply after gettin the EAD (a day or two) like i said, so i dont get what ur sayin

I get ur point but thats approval with USCIS not SSA... they are two diff entities that rarely communicate so approval with USCIS isnt always already updated with SSA, just like when u get the GC, it takes a day to update to get the SSN from them so its the same thing- the previous week or two of approval mean nothing to SSA

Sux u having all these problems. U r saying that u diddnt get any paper confirming u applied? Wat the heck? Yea I did get that, and said SS card would come in 2 wks. I can't believe they r saying diff things in the same city... So they said they would send u a recipt by mail? That's weird, if u don't get it call back. U don't even have any proof u applied
