Thank you everyone and good luck to all those who are still waiting. Even though I have a GC stamp my status online is still in decision!! I dont know why. I thought by now they would put card in production. I also just received my SS and it shows " for work only" because I applied with my EAD. Should I change my SOcial security card again or the one I have now is enough?

Mine does that too but it will change to card production again soon!

You'll want to go to the SS office again and apply for a replacement card without the "for work only" note. They will update their system to reflect your LPR status so if an employer uses the e-verify system it will correctly show you are a Green Card holder rather than someone with a temporary work authorization.

On Feb 13, my EAD was approved and now in production. I hope I'll receive it within 30 days. And I am praying too that we will soon receive an interview date.

You have to look at your local office because they are those who are going to schedule your interview. We have Dallas. Dallas used to be very quick a couple of years ago. Now it is being ridiculously slow. Well, as long as I have an EAD I can survive. They can take their time.

Thank you for the input. You're 100% right, as long as I got EAD, then at least I could work while waiting for the interview sched. One more question, can I apply for Driver's license with the SS and EAD card? My tourist visa has expired last Nov. We really don't have any idea on where or when to make a follow up call. I'm glad I found this site!
