Online status finally updated EAD to card production - says it was mailed today. AP is still in initial review, but I'm not too worried. It seems like I'll get a combo card from what I've read on here.

Next step is interview scheduling but I'm expecting that to happen around September since Chicago office is back logged. Oh well, at least the EAD/AP will let me work and travel :)

I need some advice from VJers..

Going to SSA to apply for a SSN today. I'm just a lil surprised that my case changed to "Testing and Interview" on May 5th and no interview date yet!! My office is Newark and i know ppl who filed in Feb and had their interviews in May... I wonder whats going on!

We are in a similar timeline as you. We are also waiting for the interview date since our status changed on May 7th. I took a look at the processing time for Newark, and the status says that the are working on cases from 10/27/13 as of 4/30/14. So, that may explain the delay. Mine says that they are working on cases on 12/4/13 as of 4/30/14.

Also, we should receive the EAD card today, so we will go to the SSA office tomorrow for SSN. Let me know how it goes for you. I hear that sometimes the SSA needs time (2-4 weeks?) to verify with DHS on the status before they can work on your application.

I am so frustrated now. they texted me on 5/19 that my status was changed to testing and interview. Today I checked my status online. It said last update was on 5/29. Did they already schedule and send me an interview date? Am I missing something here?

It would show the interview date online if they had already schedule you for one.It just doesn't say what time or where.

Thank you. As far as I see there is no date. It just said it was updated again on 5/29 which is odd because when I initially received text the date was 5/19

From what I have read, sometimes they will look at the case but not really change or update anything. In my case, it only showed whenever they changed the status.

Once they set up an appt, they should email/text you saying there was a change and online it will say something like... "On X month and day we mailed you a notice for your interview on xx/xx/xxxx"

Hey Skate. I went today. no problem. they said i should get it in within 2 weeks. yeah i know some ppl have to wait up to 4 weeks bury that wasn't my case. no news about the interview date, tho.

Keep me posted with ur progress.

What documentation did they ask for at the Social Security Office?
