We applied just last week. SSN office told us about 4 weeks to hear back/receive from them.

Full disclosure - We applied for our SSN at the end of June and still haven't recieved it. We've called, we've inquired... we're out of options on what to do.

I sent AOS docs on June 24th and went to SSO on June 25th.  Took my entire immigration file including full copy of AOS package so I was prepared.   No issues at all. Received SS card 5 weeks later.

they told us it takes about 4 weeks for HS to clear. Perhaps you can visit SSN office an update.

When SSN issued, are you eligible for work or does one wait for approved AOS?

[Lori Johnson 35]

Not eligible to work until green card is received or EAD is approved, whichever comes first.  Says right on the card “valid for work only with DHS authorization”.

NYC Manhattan Filer here! 

 

Filed on June 29, 2019, NOA July 1, 2019. 

 

Just received an update that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview (Sept 6 2019). Now the super long wait begins because the processing time for NYC is the highest in the country!

Congrats glad things are moving right alon

That's what they told us as well. Well 4 weeks passed and nothing, so we went in to ask. They told us no new information. My husband called a few weeks later and was told they were waiting for his "verification" and they officially had it... oh and wait another 4 weeks. At this point, I'm not that concerned. We'll get it when we're approved for the green card either way

Waiting can be frustrating. All we can do is stay patient.

You have to file for employment authorization in your packet, its a separate form. I forget the #.
