Although we received our EAD there are still employers who insists on the greencard especially if you live on a very conservative state.

Btw did you apply for Social Security card yet?

I went to the social security office last Friday to change my last name to my married name (I already had a SSN). They said it could take up to 4 weeks till I receive my new social security card. I really hope it doesn't take that long because I was hoping to get my driver license this month so I can start working. But I guess waiting never ends lol

Anyone knows how long it takes to get a tracking number after EAD has been mailed status ?

We are in the sa,e boat, as of dec 8 it says it was mailed to me and I keep on waiting for the mail man today, I am feeling anxious because I have to start a job on Monday !

After being approved on 12/5, my EAD combo card has been mailed to me this morning, 12/11. So hoping to have if in hand Saturday!

Can't wait to go to the SSA Monday to change my name. Hopefully that only takes 10 days for me too!

I went to the DMV in AZ yesterday and got my license. I do not have a SSN as required etc. All you need is your Arrival Departure number/passport and your I-797C showing you've applied for your AOS. (Nobody tells you this and it's not on the site.) The Supervisor had to approve it. I just explained to them I am a LEGAL resident in the USA and I shouldn't be penalized because of Immigration backlogs. I had to take the written but I left with license in hand. They folks at DMV were very nice. Brought ALL my paperwork with me (just in case). So aside from my library card I now have a DL!!! Yahoo!

Hi Everyone,

Sorry I haven't been here much lately, but I just wanted to share my experience going to our interview today. We arrived 30 minutes before the interview scheduled for 11:15AM. Went through security and was asked to drop off the interview notice at window 2. This gentleman was really nice, He took the notice and ask us to have a seat and someone would call us shortly. We waiting just about 10 minutes passed the scheduled time and this really nice lady called our names. We walked into her office and had to sworn in before getting seated. She grabbed our file asked for our drivers license and my passport that included my last entry in the US and I-94. She started going through the forms provided to confirm name, DOB, local of birth, SSN, Address, date and local of marriage, etc of my spouse first (American Citizen) of the I-864 form. She made small talk as she was asking the questions like where is this place you were born, etc. No pressure type of environment as she was very pleasant to talk to. Since my spouse is self employed, she asked how were business this year and moved on. She started asking me the same questions about Name, DOB, SSN, date and local of marriage, etc in my form and went through every single questions on the I-485 Form Part 3 item C, like asking of I was member of any organization, committed any crime, etc ( i think there were like 15 questions). She looked at a few more things at the file and grabbed the pictures we had submitted with the package. Asked about our dog, and a few places on the pictures and pretty much that was it. I didn't have to use any of the additional documents I brought with me. She said that we did a great job filling out the forms and providing detailed information, then looked at us and told us she was going to approve us on the spot. She explained that i'd have to apply to remove the temporary condition on my green card before the two years using the I-751 form and that was it.

I'm so glad that this process is over. We have been very fortunate that our process was extremely quick compared to some of you (91 days since we sent the package), but I say don't give up or stress out too much. my thoughts for you going to the interview is just be yourself and tell the truth. Our interviewer was so great and made us feel relaxed as we were just having a normal conversation.

Thanks for all the support this group has provided to us and a lot of other people out there in the same situation. Keep a positive attitude and everything will be fine. God bless every single one of you!!!
