Hello. Here’s my journey so far. Married to a USC. Concurrent. Chicago

9-21-21 Lawyer submitted applications
9-22-21 USCIS received application
9-27-21 Acceptance Notice recieved
10-02-21 Biometrics notice received
10-26-21 Biometrics Appointment
03-24-22 Status Changed to Interview was scheduled
03-28-22 Received Interview Notice (May 11)
I-765 status changed to “New Card Being Produced”
03-31-22 EAD Card was produced
04-01-22 USPS picked up EAD Card
04-02-22 EAD Card delivered

I received a stand alone EAD card not a combo card. I 131 still says application received. Waiting for my SSN card. Based on SSA website it will be delivered through mail within 7 business days if I marked yes the portion where it says I authorize SSA to send me a SSN card once I 765 is approved.

Good to see your case moving quickly. Not getting a combo card is frustrating for me - need to travel mid summer and getting pretty nervous! But we applied the same week as you, if it goes as quickly may already have a green card by then...

I have plans of traveling this summer too. When I got my EAD I was not surprised that it wasn't a combo card because my i131 status did not change. Good thing I haven't bought tickets yet. Which processing center are you? Mine is at National Benefits Center.

Currently I'm wishing the status of my i485 will change from "interview was scheduled" to "Interview is waived" or "application approved". Some kind of miracle.????

Goodluck with your application. Hopefully we all get approved sooner than later.

I'm at NBC too. Are you employment based? Mine is family and those seem to take longer (certain competing forum has dozens of EB september applications approved)...
Good luck to all

Anybody received their SSN already? After 11 days of waiting for my SSN i went to my local SSA office to follow-up my ssn. The staff there told me, after checking my ead in her computer, that my application for SSN was not processed yet and she said that it’s too soon for me to make a follow-up. She said sometimes it could take 30 days if the application was through i765. And I can’t apply for it through SSA because I already indicated that my number will be processed through i765.

But I’ve read somewhere that some received their SSN a day or two earlier than their EAD.

so now I’m just waiting.

So just an update about my ssn. After 27 days of waiting for my SSN i tried to apply for a new card online. A new feature in their website afaik. Once finished it only asked me to visit my local ssa office within 45 days to submit the supporting documents that I declared when I applied online. After 2 days ( day 29 after EAD approval) I went to the ssa office to submit my documents. When I got to the window I told the personnel that after almost a month I still did not receive my ssn eventhough it was applied through i765. He told me to fill up their application form. I told him I already did the application online and I just went there to submit my supporting documents. He excused himself and talked with someone probably about my case. He showed my ead card to the other person. Later he came back and told me to fill up the application form. No worries. So i filled up the form and waited for my number to be called again. It just showed that their online application for new ssn/ssc is not yet reliable. So my number was called and went through the usual stuff and the person handed me my receipt and will expect my new ssn/ssc in 2 weeks in the mail. Had I applied for it a week after I received my ead card i would have had my ssn card yesterday.
