Hello eveyone, 

 

 

Quick Update: Some of us are paranoid about not being able to return to US while traveling with AP, well I traveled to Tijuana from San Diago last weekend and come back with no issues. The officer never asked for my EAD/AP combo card.

What kind of identification did you show at the boarder? I assume you drove....

Got my Green card in the mail today 👏 

Just wondering when I can expect my SSN to arrive. I ticked the box on the application to get one sent to me.

Congratulations. You will have to go to social security office to apply for a ssn card as the form you ticked was for work authorization not for the change of status. 

When i got my green card in October, because I didn’t get a work permit, i had to go apply for ssn at the office

My case status for I-765 changed to "New Card Being Produced" today. 

 

Case was received 7/27 and NOA was 8/2. Took a total of 137 days

Yes, I drove to Tijuana. I provided my Nexus (Global Entry ID).

Damn, congrats @Jiga! I'm currently on 134 days. They received my case exactly the same day as yours actually, on the 31st of July! I'm hoping to find out soon. I've been checking the case checker and not the other new one. Which one is best to be checking?

In my case I recieved the card in the mail with no notification in the case tracker or on dhs website

My wife & 12 yr old stepdaughter just received an update at the DHS website, as well as text messages: their EAD & AP's were approved Dec 10, yay!

 

We have received an RFIE on Nov 5, which was a request for my 2017 tax return (I only submitted the extension form with the AOS/EAD/AP package). Mailed the return to them on Nov 20, and AOS went to "Ready to schedule interview" on Dec 5.

 

We were worried that the RFIE might reset the clock or significantly delay the EAD & AP, but looks like both were approved pretty quickly after the response to RFIE was received. I'd read elsewhere that RFIE for tax returns wouldn't hold up the process or reset any clocks, provided the returns were sent in quickly in response, and that was true for us.

 

Now just waiting for the AOS interview backlog at San Francisco, for the interview to get scheduled.

Don’t rely too much on the online sites, my case tracker still says “Case Received,” and the DHS one didn’t update my status until the day after I received my approval letter! Your mail might be on its way right now. 😊 Best of luck, you’ll get there soon!

I hope you're right! How long did the card take to get to you after the letter came?
