Sorry, i take the word idiot back.  We are all just eager to get stuff done quickly.  I was taking advantage of a day off of work and figured he was already in the system.  

LOL- That eagerness to do things! Right there with you girl
But luckily for me, I married the world's most patient person. He thought a month delay to slow down things shouldn't be an issue. So we decided on baby steps to avoid having to jump hoops later on

Applied for his almost a month after he came in. and basically got it around 6 weeks from POE (we changed addresses).
was okay for us. We had it right after our marriage. so then we went ahead and did bank, lease, school etc. My apartment would not put you on the lease without SS and neither would my bank. And we weren't interested in going to another bank JUST to bypass SS. That seemed more of a headache than anything so yea

Don't worry though.
Don't focus too much on the SS. As long as you applied before I-94 expires, you should be good
I wager you getting it by next week

I do suggest either calling/visiting the office you went in to apply for originally and seeing if they have an update from the manual verification.

LOL.. my husband (the beneficiary ) is the patient one.  I am the rush rush... let's go one in the relationship.  Well lesson learned.  I will call next week if we still haven't heard anything.  Right now we are in no rush for his SSN except his traveler's insurance is good until August 15 and I can't put him on mine until he has an SSN. He said he will just extend the travelers insurance if he has so.

Yep
Forgot about health insurance too! lol
And most jobs have a 30 days rule- as in you must add within 30 days of marriage or wait until he next enrollment period so make sure that doesn't apply to you!

but yea. It's okay. It will all work
I've learned this process is SLOWWWWWWW to death. Every little thing is taking till kingdom come. Best you take it day by day before we all grow bald at the end

sorry girl! 

Just heard an awful story on the forum a while back
A lady was pregnant now but without insurance cuz her husband missed the 30 day period to add her to his insurance and people recommending her only choice was to see if she can qualify for a traveler's. Wouldn't want that happening to you (well you won't be pregnant cuz u the USC but you know what I mean). lol

 I seriously dislike health insurance companies.  But thanks for looking out   My husband would be going nuts.  I am not sure if its a European thing but the man doesn't go anywhere without being medically covered.  I guess it that social medicine in Spain  lmfao

Hello July filers!

 

Sent my AOS off on the 10th and it was received on the 11th. Still waiting on my NOA..today will be the 8th business day...Getting rather nervous. Money order hasn't been cashed yet. Anybody on the same date still waiting?

 

 

Hi  first time writing here. 

Im also getting anxious since I have not received any NOA and found this topic. 

 

I mailed AOS on 09Jul

delivered to Lockbox on 12Jul (by UPS tracking)

still any news...

So I called USCIS and told situation. He checked with my Alian number but he couldn’t find my application 😱😱

what can we do anything else but waiting :’( ?

Also, how have you guys gotten SSN already? My lawyer said that you have to have an EAD in order  to get a SSN and directed me to this website: https://www.ssa.gov/ssnumber/ss5doc.htm which also stated that. Is it different by state?

hey!! Here in iowa they needed my passport,visa , i 94 and birth certificate i got my SNN in less than a month.

What do you mean they couldn't find your application?
I also would give them 30 days in case it takes time for them to put applications in their system

Update: my wife & 12 yr old step-daughter received their Biometrics appointment notice yesterday, scheduled for July 31 in Santa Rosa. Woot! Their NOA1's were dated July 11, so we're all really pleased with the speed of everything so far.

Does it speed up the process to do a early Walk in Biometric?

Yea this is def odd
Typically, you see the cash withdrawn from your account the day you get the notifications
I'll be SHOCKED if your account is not withdrawn by tomorrow.

because keep in mind, they don't really cash the check direct per se. they do an EFTs- so they really want to do that FIRST (so the check doesn't bounce) before they give you your NOA1s...
Cuz if the check bounces, they send the packet back for insufficient funds.
This is why I think it takes a while to get the NOAs.
They gotta go through all that payment process first

They finally cashed it!!  Lol.

 I find it interesting that they assign your receipt numbers on same day they get the package. My package arrived on the 17th and two of the apps were assigned numbers on that day.

Just me trying to figure out USCIS. Lol.
