My wife went back 2 days after applying, and got the number from the clerk.

The card arrived 8 calendar days after applying.

Need the number?

SSA will do the DHS Verification bits, even though you showed the EAD card,

Thanks for the info. I guess it will be sometime next week (hopefully). I went to SSA right after I received the EAD.

Thank you Darnell! This is very informative. Im not sure if I will be entertained if I go tomorrow. (10 days after I applied) Would the database be updated by then? Im racing against time here.

if you go tomorrow,

either:

--you get the # or

--you learn of other problems.

I say go.

I called field office today. I was told it is still going thru the process.

no one suggested using a telephone.
