Hi everyone,

I applied in Sept. and received e-mail confirmation for all applications on Sept. 26. Days later I received the hard copies confirmation. Did my walk-in biometrics on Oct. 7 and my case still shows under "initial review" online. I hope to receive some news soon. I'm getting a bit impatient.

If it helps, mine showed initial review for 80% of the process

Then for a couple of day it showed that my file could not be found because of incomplete information.

Then jump straight to card production.

I would get used to looking at initial review.

One more thing:

I already have an interview date and on the USCIS website when I try to check my case status, it cannot even find it, so I am convnced it is pretty unreliable..

I have a question, on the social security application, what would i put on the part that says citizenship:

1. I know its not US CITIZEN

2. Legal alien authorized to work (I received an alien number when i applied for AOS but does that make me "legal"?)

3. legal alien not allowed to work .....i know it can't be this one

4. other**

**5. If you check “Legal Alien Not Allowed to Work” or “Other,” you must provide a document from a U.S. Federal, State, or local government agency that explains why you need a Social Security number and that you meet all the requirements for the government benefit. NOTE: Most agencies do not require that you have a Social Security number. Contact us to see if your reason qualifies for a Social Security number.

Should I x on other and provide the EAD?
