Hi, everyone! Congrats on all the new approvals, medicals, and interviews! Yesterday we recieved...our NOA for AOS, AP, and EAD. Not to be out done by the much anticipated SSCard!!! Hopefully we'll get the biometerics appointment letter in the next week. It took 13 days from application until we got the SSCard; he was only in the states for 8 or 9 days before we applied. The lady said he couldn't be verified by SAVE because the SSA no longer has access to that database. She also said that confirmation via USCIS was no longer manual, but rather electronic (as of 3 or so months ago). She guessed it would be 2 weeks until card in hand; despite the official, paper that said 12 weeks for verification....It only took 5 days.

Looks like the lady at SSA was right! Maybe they do not do manual verfication anymore. The card does say something to the effect of "Not authorized to work without DHS approval", so we'll make one more trip down to SSA once he gets his GC. Timeline below:

7/09- Applied for SSN (given receipt stating it may take 12 weeks to verify with immigration)- (Day 1)

7/14- Letter from SSA stating that we should receive his SScard by mail within 2 weeks- (Day 6) ---USCIS verification completed?

7/21- SSCard received!!!- (Day 13)

Tania's here! We arrived at JFK July 17, immigration was overcrowded but noneventful. Since it's been about 100F in Kiev for days, she loves the Michigan weather.

We spent several days in Chicago with a friend of mine from Chicago and a friend of hers from Odessa. Tania and I also celebrated our coincident birthdays last Saturday.

More news later, but we must go now.

Tania offered to email or talk to anyone who wishes to learn about her experience.

More later, as well as timeline updates.
