Very good you are moving right along!

On the USCIS Case Tracker app, there is a search feature where you can enter a case number and look at the next 500 case numbers received.

 

There are a lot of cases that are rejected because of being "Improperly filed" or with "Incorrect Fee."  Thankfully, mine wasn't one of those.

 

I understand the "Incorrect Fee" rejection.  What would deem a case to be "Improperly filed" and rejected?

Mailed AOS, EAD, and AP on 2/18 from Nashville

Documents arrived in Chicago on 2/20

Received text notification 2/17/20 @ 11:30pm

 

It appears that they are still keeping with the cadence of receiving the packets, and sending notification in a week.

Should that be 02/27 txt notification received and not the 17th?

 

We have the same timeline but I still haven't received any notifications. Patience patience patience.  😉

Yep.  Good Catch.  2/27 notification.  Typing too early in the morning without coffee.

@Distantlove718 and @osally1, got this issue as well but rectified now.

 

Steps I took: 

- called ssa 800 # but got nothing from there.

- checked save website and got info that DHS returned my application to SSA Maryland already.

- called local SSA office (Jax Florida) and they processed my application. SSA Maryland returned it approved and Jax office issued a receipt. Card to be sent within 2 weeks.

- went to local SSA office and got my number. Wife sweet-talked the clerk to give it to us verbally. 😉 but still waiting for the card.

 

Once I got my SSN, went to DMV and got my driver's license which is valid for a year. Canadian eh! 😉

We still haven’t gotten the ssn and the save website said it was returned Jan 23. We went to social security and they said they have no records and now it’s out of time frame. What do we do ?

Hey yall just updating! @osally1 and I sent our AOS package on 02/18/2020. It was delivered by 02/21/2020. We finally got our text confirmation numbers (3 text) last night 02/27/2020 around 11:25 pm. It wasn't until this morning that the payment showed drafted.

I already received my SSN card.

 

When I called the SSA local office, I gave them the reference number indicated in the letter they provided me when I first applied. From there, they were able to see and process my app.

 

It could be that the person u talked to is not aware of the process.

 

You need to try again but this time call the office first and provide the story and the reference number. If they say the same thing,  ask for the Maryland # or the national 1-800 # (it should be in the letter they provided too.)

We were at the social security office and spoke with the supervisor. They said because it was past the 4 weeks since he came into the country we exhausted the time frame.

Wrong or outdated forms!

First time I learned that there's a time frame for SSN. What I know is that they refer to the visa expiration date and not 30days after arrival. 

 

I still suggest to call the national 1-800 number.

Don't worry! I was worried too as others seemed to be quick. I'm pretty sure they have a large shipment and it may take them a while to get through those who made it prior to the deadline.

Im just thinking that ours might take longer since we have k1 and k2 in that application.

 

Fingers crossed still. Lol

If you have  less than 14 days left on your I94 they will deny you a chance to apply. 30 days after arrival would still have given you ample time for SSA to accept  your application. Sounds like you got a supervisor who did not know their own rules. Try another office if you have time left on your I94. Otherwise  you'll  have to wait for your EAD.
