Case Approved
NEBRASKA UPDATE 💃🏻
After 11 months and 1 day of waiting, I finally got approved for my I-765 and I-131!!!!! New card is being produced. I-485 is still pending. My filing date is November 20, 2020 and I’m EB3.
Great news for my Nebraska filers!
I tried expediting my case before because I’m a nurse and due to financial hardship but got rejected immediately with asking for evidence. I then spoke with my congressman and his office submitted an expedite request. A month or so after that, I got approved.
I believe contacting my congressman helped! so try that if you haven’t yet!!!
Hope things move along quickly for everyone!!!
Stay patient and best of luck to all ❤️❤️❤️

New SSN Card Required
Tried calling SSA several times with no luck, so here is my question:
Until now I had a SSN card with “DHS WORK AUTH” printed on it. Recently my status got adjusted to a permanent resident. Do I need to apply for a new SSN card? Would my SSN change if I apply? And if the number changes, then would the credits earned towards SS (need 40 to qualify) get transferred to the new number?

We had great luck! Filed I-130 at Nebraska. Received 8/31. First update that case was being actively worked on 10/21, and then received I-130 approval/case closure notice 10/22. Looks like Nebraska is cranking them out! Good luck to all!

Is a social security name change in a different State, is it possible?
I want to change my name after marriage, but just now, I received my EAD, and we have already moved to a different state. Can I do my name chance to social security in another state, or do I need to go back to the state where I got married?
My previous state where I got married was in Colorado.
Now my current state is in Nebraska.
Thank you!
