What next after Biometrics exam for AOS ?

[durden2128 4]

My wife and stepkid completed the biometric exam one month ago and still no word from USCIS. I wasnt sure what comes next. Do we need to do anything in the meantime ? They applied for work permits and advance parole, which is honestly far more important than the green card. Would appreciate any input as I'm slightly worried we missed something. We havent received any paperwork or anything else.

Do not worry. EAD and AP is taking from 3 to 6 months approx. And GC can take a year or more. You can always check their status online in the USCIS website.

You sit pretty and have a lot of patience. It’s taking 6 months for EAD and AP and over a year for greencard.

I was wondering about this because our biometrics appointment is this week. After this, as far as I know, we just wait and eventually receive EAD/AP cards in the mail and later, the AOS interview followed by the green card.

All replies about waiting is correct.  For those on AOS status, as soon as you get your EAD card, go to your local Social Security office to get your SS card. That takes a month.  I do believe there is a special case for K-1 visa AOS ... as soon as married with legal certificate go get your SS card, it will take a month.  Sometimes the SS office does not know about the K-1 special case and you will have to be armed with information about this.

We went to the SS office just days after our marriage and after we filed AOS, and he got the SS number. We dont even have an EAD yet. The card arrived two weeks later.
