Hello - You never mentioned when you received your EAD. Your dates are little screwed up, Jul-21 then Jul-12 and then Jul-21

Hello - You never mentioned when you received your EAD. Your dates are little screwed up, Jul-21 then Jul-12 and then Jul-21

Read again the dates in my posting, all my dates are not screwed up and are all in correct order. you've mistakenly misread JUN 21 as JUL 21 so the order would still be JUN 21 - JUL 12 - JUL 21. My EAD has been approved but have yet to receive the card, application status of EAD and Green Card as "ordered production of your new card." They say that cards are normally processed and mailed within 10 days after receiving the notice. So hopefully I'll receive my EAD by next week and my Green Card in two weeks.

Please accept my sincere apology, my mistake.
I am surprised about your EAD as they usually state that you get your EAD within six weeks from your initial filing.
One question, what kind of questions did they ask you at the interview?

Congrats & Good Luck !!!!!!!!

hello there i just want to ask! We already submitted our paper, but im worrried because in the papers i already use my husband's surname, on the fingerprinting or biometrics will they ask for my i.d? because my passport is in my ex husband surname( but we divorce and everything) i dont have an i.d. with my new surname

[daru786]

They do require picture ID. Take everything with you, previous marriage license, current marriage license and any other proof you may have like birth certificate.......
