Congrats, that's great news! We're a few months behind you, so it's interesting to see the timeframes for SSN etc.

 

Regarding the EAD did you expedite it as that was really quick?

Thanks.

No I didn’t do anything - just took the normal course of action. After I had my biometrics appointment they approved my EAD within days and sent the card out.

Just for my understanding ,family immigrant visa category get SSN and green card with similar timeline and same process ?

I am on a K1 visa. You can choose to have a SSN generated for you during the AOS/EAD application but I was advised to just call the SSA and make an appointment. I did so and already have my SSN. I guess they would’ve started me on the process once my EAD was approved so I was able to get a SSN a lot sooner.

 

Again this was with via the K1 visa process - I can’t speak to other visas sorry.

In other news, I received my EAD 39 days after filing. My card arrived this morning. 

Well that is pretty amazing based on how slow all the processes have been. Lucky you.
