Congrats to everyone on approvals, interview dates, and EAD's :thumbs:

I woke up this morning to check my uscis and nothing new, so I decided to call and see what info I could get about my EAD since my interview is only 2weeks away, only to be told im still within the 3month time frame and to wait :angry:

I took a small nap, woke-up and checked again....EAD in production! :dance:

Im ecstatic! Ill run to the mailbox for the next couple of days. Although its on its way, I dont think I'll have enough time to do anything with it for the interview. What do you guys think? Should I wait for an approval until after my interview to head over to the SS with hopefully a GC on hand, or should I just go right as soon as my ead gets here?

Im asking because im not sure what the difference will be with an ead issued ss# card, and a GC issued ss#. I guess its my ocd kicking in.... I rather have a normal ss# card than the ss# card stamped with the "for work only" I think id find myself right back at the office after receiving the GC :lol:

We waited for interview to get SS. You would have to go back and visits to the SS office are not my favorite. Plus my hubby got his EAD Thursday with our interview the following Monday...

No, not pregnant, lol I think it was the stress of it all. Not upset about it, we aren't prepared for a baby. lol

Awesome! Congrats on your approval!!!

Thank you. I was relieved to check VJ and note yours was approved as well. Love shines through all the doubt they look for..

We checked the mail everyday as well for our EAD after our production email on Oct 6th but then we got more texts our case was updated then the last text Oct 12th that is has been mailed so no need to check mail everyday until you know it's been mailed. We received ours Oct 15th, interview was Oct 16th so we had NO time to do anything. We left Baltimore after the interview and stopped by the SS Admin and got his card ordered.

OH and BTW we have never received any text updates on our decision..... I had just happen to go online and check. I wonder why??
