I rush to check the mail everyday, get nervous whenever my phone rings.. And so far nothing!!

When will this move!!,

I wish the April filers would do a better job of displaying their timelines.

There should be a rule that if you comment on a filing progress month, then you need to update your timeline in your sig.

So I go to check the mail today (our door doesn't have a letterbox or anything, we have to walk to this big mailbox thing where everyone has a key for their address)

Only it's 1:40pm and USPS guy has only just arrived !

Back home In England we got our mail at about 11-12 xD I stood there for a minute but I didn't want him to think I was trying to hurry him x_x so I will return to the mailbox soon !!

But yeah I check the mail every day worried there will be some random RFE, check case status like three time a day XD nope! Last update still June third @_@

I have noticed though !! That people who adjust from different visas like student one etcs seem to be moved to testing and interview before the K1s. I assume this is because a lot of the different visa adjusters have interviews whereas the K1 they look at our files to see if we are gonna have an interview or get the waiver letter? Idk just trying to think of reasons

That would be a good reason. It's really weird that K1s who get their interview waived end up taking longer than, say, F1s who get interviewed. I would have thought "ok, it makes sense to skip their interview, they already had to prove their relationship and interview to get a K1, but why does that not EXPEDITE their process?!"

I have been reading on VJ Forums and i saw something strange, someone who's nationality is Canadian said that she received her EAD and also SSN . Don't you get your SSN with the Actual Green Card or it arrives with EAD ?

With the EAD you apply for your social security number at the Social security administration office near you. If you decide to wait, you can apply for your SSN after you get your Green Card. It doesn't come with any of the cards.

Too bad that i didnt apply for EAD

I got my SSN the first week I arrived in the US

If I remember correctly, I took my passport, the application form I printed for it, my I-94.

The guy was kind of puzzled and kept flicking between my passport biography page and the K1 page, but eventually entered all the info into his computer and told me I would get my card in the mail soon

When it arrives it was of course in my maiden name as it was before I got married. And says 'Valid for work with DHS authorization' (so EAD )

Funny story though, was I went back after we got married (my sister in law needed to change her name on her card, and so did I, so we went together) the SAME guy spoke to me, and I told him I wanted to change my name on my card, he said 'I'll try.' And entered all the info , but supposedly because it was 14 days before my I-94 run out, the computer wouldn't let him do it. He told me to come back when I had my EAD or GC and then he would change my name and send a new card out. Before I left though, he was like, 'How come you're allowed a card anyway if you're not a LPR yet?'

I was like 'well you was the one who issued me the card!' XD he's like 'oh!! Sorry we don't know much about their (USCIS I think he was referring to) rules '
