Recently filed Marriage based Green Card in Denver.I have been sitting home over 2 months now I cant work cant drive. Looking for other people who filled around same time ? Helpful tips to keepy myself budy during day ?

Start reading maybe take a course. Start daily exercises. Learn to bake or cook. Take up photography or painting/drawing. Research your new city. Join a "meetup" group around your area. Play sports. Volunteer. Tons you can do ! Don't feel trapped at home because you aren't !

Yeah you’ll be waiting a while - it took 5 months before I got my EAD; then 2 months more to get my SSN (which you need in my State for a DL - as well as then passing the knowledge and driving test). Fortunately I’ve no need to work, being retired, so I got into volunteering. Very rewarding mentally as well as giving you new friends, outlets for your enthusiasms etc. You could also try finding a hobby that suits you - mine is model ship building, a solitary pastime but it sure eats up the hours (as well as pocket money!)

 

Best of luck!

Oh wow 5 months that’s long time. I already have my SSN and I applied for drivers licence today. Can you share your timeline for EAD I wonder why it took so long ?

Hi Fellow Denver applicant!

 

I got my EAD and AP approved in 61 days. When did USCIS receive your application package? Fill out your timeline, so others know  where you are in the process.

Timeline is already shared. I think it was simply down to an increased number of applications. My office was Chicago though.

Here is a link to my timeline (which can be found under my country flag):

http://www.visajourney.com/timeline/profile.php?id=272421

 

My timeline is also in my signature (not visible in the mobile version of VisaJourney). USCIS received my case a month earlier than you and I received my EAD on 1/16. So, it might be another month until you receive your combo/EAD card. 

 

In term of suggestions for things to do, you can search in Visa Journey (this has been asked a lot here), learn something new, meet new friends, explore places, browse jobs, etc.
