Oh no, well thankfully it’s an easy send! And hopefully you get positive news soon after sending! 

Yes, hoping yours is simple too. Keep us posted!

a very interesting thing happened. wife and child #1 received AP/EAD combo card. child #2 also approved on both cases but received EAD card stating no re-entry allowed.

 

I went back to look at the letters which came through the mail and I remembered for one person it was not the same. Child #2 had 2 separate letters one for EAD and one for AP approval, however those who received a combo card their approval letter for EAD stated combo approval, while child #2's EAD approval letter just addressed EAD.

 

Will she receive a separate AP card now in the mail due to some USCIS processing error ?

She has been approved for AP, but she has not received a combo card, which is very strange.

 

Anyone has experienced this before and if yes, what was the outcome / solution ?

From looking at others, although it depends on the office location, it seems like around 30~45 days timeframe. If any others can chime in on this, appreciate it. Thanks!

We might actually be scheduled for an interview on the same day.

i'm 60+ days on ready to be scheduled for interview. The Portland office runs 11 months before scheduling interviews.

look up this thread. 

 

most people get it 1-2 weeks after EAD arrived. If you don't get it by 3 weeks go to the local SS office and they can look it up if it's been processed. 

If not processed yet in the system, I would just apply on the spot.

 

I am in the same shoes with you. EAD is coming on 1/11 Saturday and I will stick it out till Feb 1. If by then not received, I will apply in person in an SS office.

Thank you for the helpful information!

I've been doing a lot of research too, it's really not fair that there are people who received SSN card 1-2 days after EAD (some people even got it before EAD) and also there are others who didn't receive it until almost 3 weeks later...

 

I also found this PDF on the USCIS website, It seems like we should expect it within 7 business days after receiving EAD.

It will have been 7 business days on Monday after I received mine so I think I'm gonna go to SSA to apply in person. (Because I'm pretty sure USCIS did not apply for my SSN -_- )

thanks for the flyer, I will print this. When I applied for my wife's SSN in person luckily a more senior member was there to assist the officer. The one I talked to was nice, but had no idea how to handle a K1 (fiancee) visa situation.

 

Bringing this will help to educate them how to do their job and stop arguing with us

 

See my post just above. They messed up one of the children's card and the AP authorization is not stated on it...I suspect the SSN application will not happen by itself either

Likely I had one of those druids review my file with 1 week of experience

I had my AOS interview of 9th January.
I was approved on the spot. It lasted not more than 10mins. The IO said, since we were filing based on K1 visa, there's no need to proof marriage relation
Hence, we just went through the form I-485 to confirm the long eligibility questions. After that he told us he will click on approve and then we should get my card within 10 days.
I received the approval notice today January 13, waiting for the card. God Has been good...

Time line

So, we have an interesting timeline right now. We submitted AOS/EAD/AP all in early September. We just got approval notice for EAD/AP, but we still have not had any biometrics or any other appointments scheduled. Has anyone ever heard of that before? Would it be possible to have no biometrics for the entire process?

Update on EAD today : New card is being produced.

great news!  our filing date is close to yours so this is giving me hope!!  

[Irush93 41]

Just received an update for EAD: 'new card is being produced.' I will probably only have it for a couple days because my GC interview is next week Thursday.

 

Good Luck to everyone!
