So I went to Marine corp recruiter today to talk about the documents I need, and to start the paper work, when he saw my Social Security card and my Green card he was confused, because my SSN card is listed as (Valid for work only with DHS autorization). I actually did not notice the problem until I went to talk to my recruiter. He said if I have Green Card I should not have a Social Security card that lists that, and told me go check with SSN office before we can further continue the process.

So I went to SSN officer and told them my SS card has Valid for work only with DHS authorization, and the person asked me if I got my Social Card before Green Card, I said yes. So he had me fill out a form of paper (Same paper as if you first signed up for Social Security card) And after filling out the paper, he logged all my information, and asked me to confirm if all was correct.

I should get a new Social Security card within 10 days that does not list Valid for work only with DHS authorization, and told me to destroy my current card once the new one comes in.

So for those that has their Green Card, and your Social Security card lists that, go check with SSN officer if you have Green Card in hand.

I have a question, if USCIS processing times shows they are processing cases from December 2014, how did most march fillers already have their interview?

And is there anyone here in Houston, TX?

Good morning everyone. My wife (K-1) / daughter (K-2) had their AOS interview yesterday in the Fresno, CA USCIS branch office and were approved on the spot. :)



We waited around 20 minutes before we were called in for our appointment time and then we were called upon by the IO to their office to begin the interview. We had a very nice lady interviewer and right off the bat she told me that she had gone over our case and appreciated the fact of me submitting (frontloaded) any evidence for my wife/daughters I-485. My wife was then swore in and she only asked her how we met and our current home address. The only other detail that the IO covered was the general questions on the I-485 form in which I interpreted for my wife and she replied promptly to all. She was very appreciative of me being the interpreter and sparked up a brief conversation with our 5 year old daughter in English with an inquiry of what was her favorite activity in school (Kindergarten). My daughter responded "coloring" and she mentioned that it was also her granddaughters favorite school activity. The interview was more like a friendly conversation amongst a couple people and my wife/daughter felt very comfortable. Lastly, she congratulated us on approval and said that they should receive their Green cards within 2 weeks while going over the details for removing conditions in 2 years. She also stated when my wife can apply for her US citizenship while daughter being eligible to derive citizenship by law since she will still be under 18. We took our original copies of marriage, birth certificates (with translation), and passports but she was only interested in viewing the details on my wife/daughters passport and my US birth certificate.



Anyhow, this concludes our AOS journey for a while until ROC God willing. I have gone ahead and scheduled my wife's appointment for her DMV written exam for late September while it's back to Kindergarten for my daughter after missing school yesterday.



Best of luck to all the fellow April AOS filers! :)
