Ahh thanks!
I guess I?ll have to wait for a week before heading to dmv.

No, I think the EAD is enough. Look at your dmv website.

Gotcha! No, the SS card is mailed separately.

I actually have a DL with the AB60 law of Cali.
I just need to get the new real ID. Is the ss card going to be delivered together with the combo card?

You're so welcome! By the way, the DMV is a crazy place all through summer. Kids are just going back to school now. So it might still be busy. Here in Minnesota, you have to call the main/central number and you can make an appointment. If you are applying for a driver's license, and you have an international driver's license, you should be able to skip getting the driver's ed permit. You will likely have to take a written and practical/driving test. My husband took the driving test twice. The first proctor asked him to make a left turn and he, of course, was nervous and made it from the wrong lane. That DMV had a track and the lines dividing the lanes were not visible.

All the best!

Thanks for your help and advices USFFS! We really appreciate it!

Oh great!

The I-765 form has a checkbox that if checked, prompts the Social Security Administration to issue a Social Security Card to you. If you checked it, it should arrive by mail soon.

Congratulations on your combo card!
I spoke with a level 1 officer who said my file is already at the field office and had no answer as to why I can't check my case status on the phone system. I didn't ask for a level 2 since I have an Info pass next week and by now I'm convinced its just a glitch.



I agree with UScitizen. My DHS account shows everything twice and I haven't been able to check my case status on the phone since last week. Hopefully the glitch won't give us an interview while on vacation tho lol

Did you talk to a person?
I wouldnt be too worried if I were you. Or if you really want to make sure it?s there, talk to a level 2 officer.

I suspect the system is glitching out AGAIN. The DHS account also looks different. Maybe the only way to trigger the interview to be scheduled is by re-issuing the I-693 courtesy letter?

Their system is archaic and it's about time the switch the AOS process to the system they use for naturalization applications.

HERE! me too. it fills me with joy to see the movements around here, but it depresses me to not seeing mine. jaja lol

lest hope during this week maybe!

Alright that makes us three. hope we all get it soon.

[UScitizenFilingforspouse]

That's so frustrating, especially when you re waiting for an approval. Why again you would get the courtesy letter, weird.

Afrolinda, you and me, looks like we are both are the only ones left in this thread who are yet to get the EAD approval, or are they few others?
