Immigration - Received EAD card, what's the next step?

Immigration 2 views 2 answers
Hi I'm applying for adjustment of status (through marriage). I sent in my package in late july and I received my EAD card a few days ago. There wasn't much instruction in the letter, so I'm kind of confused what's the next step for me. I know I'm supposed to get my social security, but do I just go to my local SSN office with my EAD card to apply for one? Or do I have to wait for further instructions from USCIS? I'm also wondering how long should I be expected to be called in for an interview? Thanks in advance for your time.

It might be helpful to review and print the application (and instructions) for a social security card at the SSA website. But, yes, you can now apply for it, USCIS will provide no instructions on obtaining the SSN. Bring your passport as an additional ID when you apply. Lately, I have seen adjustment interviews scheduled as soon as a couple weeks following the arrival of an EAD.

Take your passport, marriage certificate, your husband/wife evidence of citizenship, your EAD card to the SS office and apply for a SSN. Once you have a SSN you can apply for your DL. If you have concerns about your immigration matter, contact and retain an immigration lawyer to assist you. Goodluck.
