We received EAD combo card in the mail yesterday!! So, we're waiting for a week to see if the SS card comes in the mail, if not, we will go to the SSA office to inquire/apply. We did check on the I765 form for the SSN to be applied for along with the EAD. Anyone do the same and receive their SSN yet?

i got approved 12/21. No sign of my SSN yet. Called SSA and they can't even check if they received something from USCIS

The combo card and the notices came in the mail today! The notices were nicer than the ones we’ve gotten before too...

MSC is a National Benefits Center in Missouri where most of the applications go to in terms of the EAD/AP. I believe the Field Office which is the office near the city you applied from, gets the forms for your I-485.

Ohhh so that's what it means - Missouri Service Center (MSC). That's why the NOA says Lee’s Summit, Missouri lol

This forum is so awesome!

Mind blown. I knew the app went to National Benefits Center. I knew the abbreviation was MSC. Never connected the dots.

You learn new things every day. NBC/MSC is the biggest one I believe but I know there is a TSC which is located in Texas. Hope this helps.

I'm not sure what MSC means or what other letters are used. It seems most of us with family-based green card adjustments have an MSC number.

Hubby did biometrics early (see my signature). His EAD/AP has been approved and mailed according to the online case tracker (those statuses say approved), but we haven't received it yet. The status for the I-485 still says "Fingerprint fee was received."

Hubby has an account on the uscis.gov website. Once you've made an account, you can save your receipt numbers and select options to have it send you texts and/or emails when it updates. There also a case tracker app that you can download and will notify you when there are changes online.

Hi everyone ! My parents PD is October 2017. My mom's EAD got approved end Dec but my dad is still waiting for any news/change. Both their cases start with MSC. what does that indicate ? Also my mom's case status updates online but my dad's case status still says "Fingerprint fee was received" etc. my lawyer put in a SR to inquire about dad's case and was told tha bcos dad submitted biometrics a week in advance of his appointment date, case status don't update online but case processing would proceed normally. Lawyer was also told his case is within normal processing time. What does MSC mean ? What are similar acronyms ? Did anyone else submit biometrics early and receive online case updates ? Is there a USCIS case tracker that automatically sends updates ?

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the EAD in the mail. I've read it's sent by priority mail.

Congratulations first of all! Can I ask which center handled the processing?

Thank you! I'm not sure which center handled our case. It just said National Benefits Center.

[RhonaLittle]

Ready to be scheduled for an interview!

Hey guys

As of today my status changed to 'Ready to be scheduled for an interview'.

No news on my EAD. I spoke to a Tier 2 officer on Monday who said my case was currently with an adjudicator.

Any idea why I have my case ready for an interview before my EAD??!

I am on Day 100!

[Evandro]

EAD approved !

Hey guys,
last night I received an update online about my case. Finally: (Card was mailed on 01/09.) I’m so happy.
My PD is October 15/17.

Congratulations! I know you must be feeling relieved... Did you have any case status updates online that it was approved?

Pretty relieved I must say. It was after 86 days. I did get the he online notices today. So how t was after I got the approval letter.
