Guest Long_strider Posted July 18, 2003 Report Share Posted July 18, 2003 Went to the local SSA office today. Had application for SSNEAD card (he made a copy)Birth certificate with English translation (gave it back)Certified Marriage Certificate (for name change) (gave it back) Took about ten minutes. SSA Representative said that it would take 4-6 weeks to process. I asked why so long? He said because it had to go to immigration for verification first. He then gave us a business card with a phone number saying that we could call in 2 weeks and may be able to obtain the assigned social security number, but the card would not be mailed for 4-6 weeks.

Eric&Yuhui Posted July 19, 2003 Report Share Posted July 19, 2003 As with the initial process we all endured, there is absolutely no consistency between offices. For example, San Francisco BCIS cashed all our checks, including the two fingerprint checks we had mailed for Mia and her 12 year-old son, but our appointment letter for her fingerprinting only mentioned her. Still, at least it only took two months between mailing and Mia's EAD. Brianare you complaining ?? Just kidding ! Link to comment
Mick Posted August 11, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2003 Just to update: AP received on August 5th, dated July 29. Good for one year. Things are beginning to move. Now have SSN and AP, but still no word on EAD. We are about twenty days short of the 90 day time frame Atlanta BCIS gave us. We wait.... Link to comment

Tine & Ella Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Update, Just received a letter from BCIS that Ella will go to BCIS in Indianapolis to have her fingerprints done the week of Sept. 1. She received receipt June 25th. So just about 8 weeks, I can't complain. Tine & EllaIndianapolis Link to comment

They sent us a letter (BCIS Atlanta) that included, among other things, the statement that K1 did not require fingerprints. Chances are they will do the fingerprints anyway at EAD appointment on Tuesday. Link to comment
