Does anyone who has already gotten their social security number know if you get your number the same day you go into the office? I know you don't get the actual card the same day- but were they able to tell you what your number is?

We were told we could call the next day to get the number or pick up a temporary card, but we had no pressing need for the SSN as L got it before we were married. Now that he's got his EAD and is interviewing, once he gets an offer, he doesn't need to get a new card. We're going to wait until he's got his green card before getting a new card, though.

I've received the appointment letter for interview on december 02! :dance:

The letter says that we don't need to bring our children unless otherwise instructed but we are going to bring our 5 months baby with us (he will be 6 months by the time).

Do you think that will be a problem? He is Breast feeding so we can not really leave him with a babysitter and my spouse's family is out of question.

Anyone in the same situation?

FYI he was born in the USA a month after my POE.

We are, though our daughter will be a year. I've heard of people bringing their babies. We are planning to bring her but have my sister or a friend come who can sit with her in the lobby if need be, which may be less of an issue with your baby who is probably not as mobile as ours. :)

I got the card in the mail about a week after going to the SSA office. At the office they just gave me a letter stating that a SSN had been ordered for me, but not the actual number.

Got another email yesterday EAD sent to production

TODAY got a notice that my 2yr Green Card:

"On November 1, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days. During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision."

Does this mean I'm approved?
