YAY!!! I finally received the EAD/AP combo card!! Took nearly 3 weeks from approval.

Job hunt starts now!

Congrats!

Hey guys, did your statuses go to "Approved" and then "In production"? My husband got his approval letter for EAD and AP in the mail today, we were hoping he could job hunt and he card will arrive any day...but our case status online is still just "Approved." Am I being overly optimistic?

My EAD card status went right into "In production" and 3 or 4 days later i had the letter in the mail that its apporved and my combi card should come soon but since then nothing happened.

Interesting. For us, both EAD and AP went "Name Updated" then "Approved" at the same time. Nothing about the card being in production. We got the approval letter in the mail yesterday. I guess I'll count on it being a couple weeks anyway!

Curious, those of you who had

EAD/ AP updated online as being ma

&

actually received your EAD/ AP combo

how many days were you on when they happened?

Mine is after 73 days.

My status for the EAD and AP changed also after they changed my I485 status. Most of the time you get it before the interview but if you get your interview notice quickly it may happen that you dont get your EAD and AP card before the interview. You just need to wait and see. But i think its better to get your interview quickly than getting your EAD and AP quickly.

I see thank you. I just want to get an SSN first before my interview. I still can't apply for a bank account and we want to make a joint account before the interview but I guess it's not that important.

If a bank doesn't want to open an account because you don't have a ssn, just go to another one.

My bank told me that I have two weeks to provide them my SSN, if not they would close my account. Was not the case cause I mange to get my SSN in time, but that was last year when I came on a J-1 visa.

Did your EAD status update till you got your card in hand?

Did you need get a waiver for your J1 visa before you apply for the green card?

I had to apply for a waiver first. I was on J1 as well.

I didn't need a waiver. I was not subject to the two year rule.

Ok, so I just checked my hubbies status on the USCIS website and I didn't see anything under the employment or ap applications, but I did see this: On October 21, 2016, we approved your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status., Receipt Number xxxxxxxxxxxxx We will mail your approval notice. Please follow the instructions in the notice.

This seems too good to be true...Is it possible he is already getting his green card after less than two months?

Look for banks that dont require SSN. I have a Wells fargo bank account and they do not require a SSN.
