USCIS policy update 🚨 EAD spouse visas
For those who missed it I’m sharing the update to USCIS policy published yesterday: https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/policy-manual-updates/20211112-EmploymentAuthorization.pdf In short, wonderful news for E- and L- spouses who no longer require an EAD to work! 🥲 there’s also legislation that enables H4 EAD auto extension for those who have a valid i94. I hope this helps - I was so relieved to hear the news as I had been losing hope!

Missed biometric appointment
Hello, I had an appointment for my biometrics who was scheduled for the 22nd of October. I received a email the 24th of September telling me that I should receive the appointment information soon if not I should go on the link below and if I moved I should update my mailing address. So I assumed that I was receiving the appointment information by mail. Arrived the 23nd and still nothing so I try to call, to email them and click on the link, I tried everything it didn't worked, so I went in my documents and finally found the document with the details of the appointment saying that it was October, 22nd. So I missed it from 2 days, I tried to call, they said to wait 60 days to have an appointment rescheduled but on the document it says that the case could be denied if I don't reschedule before the date of the appointment. I am very lost. can someone try to give me infos please ? Thank you

Social Security Card
Hi, guys. I have a quick question about my social security card. *So, short story……I got my EAD about 25 days before I got my green card, and I got my social security card about a few weeks after I got my green card. On the social security card it says “Valid for work only with DHS authorization.” I called the SSA to ask if I could replace it with a normal one, but the lady who works at the SSA said “It’s the same as the normal one. You can use it to work. There’s no need to change or replace it.” I do know that it’s supposed to say that when I only have the EAD, but in this case I have the green card already. I just thought that they wouldn’t have put it there if there’s no conditions. The question is “Does anybody know ‘the conditions’ or ‘the effects’ between the card with and without the phrase?”
