February 2024 - AOS Filers

[GPJB 42]

I received mine a couple days after I saw the combo approval in my docs tab, however, I never received the approval letter itself or had the card produced and it’s been 6 weeks.

I believe there wouldn’t be an issue with the SSN as long as she has the marriage certificate and one of the NOA2 to prove that she has applied, got approved but still waiting on the updated SSN. It’s worth the try.

How long did it take for them to issue you the new one? It's been over two weeks since our combo card arrived and still no new SSN card. My wife wants to get a learners permit so she can start learning to drive but she thinks they won't accept her current SSN (because no one has ever seen a newly married woman before right? )

The DMV here in Miami indeed insisted that the names on SS card and Combo Card were the same in order to issue me a DL - despite marriage certificate. I actually went to the Social Security Administration right after our wedding and had them issue me a new card (and then actually checked “no” on my I-765/I-485 applications when they asked if I needed a new one).

 

If she doesn’t want to wait any longer maybe she could just go by the SSA and get it changed herself?😊

We had an rfe in April and have had no movement since April 18th...hoping for some movement.

We might go do that. She's applying for jobs and she's worried that her last name being different on her SSN card will cause issues.

I got an email yesterday from USCIS saying they have taken an action on our case and to login to check it, but when I login nothing's changed. Anyone else get this? Will it just take a bit to update since it's the weekend?

Should be available Monday.

Otherwise you can use the Emma chat tool and an agent will give you the update.

The Emma chat tool just leads me in an endless loop of just telling me to use the Case Status Check page which doesn't tell me anything new. So I guess we're waiting till Monday.

You can chat with a Live Agent Monday - Friday. If the status doesn’t change Monday morning, inquire directly with an agent who will update you.

Well it doesn't matter in the end. I checked this morning and her I-485 has been approved.

Hi everyone! Just a brief update:

Same here…I keep seeing people from March through May being approved

[JaredShadkin 65]

Radio silence… not happy lol

We just got rejections for EAD and Advanced Parole for no fee, when we aren't required to pay a fee. So now we have to resubmit.

Got approval notification on the app on 1st Nov. Received the new SSN today. Case shows as approved, approval in docs folder, but when you go and check the timeline it still says 1 week until decision…weird. I wonder how long it will take to receive hard copy of approval notice and have the GC card produced.

Case received: 7th Feb

Biometrics: 8th March

Approval: 1st Nov

No interview. Hartford field office.
