I don’t know the exact difference, but usually for the green card and EAD , the case first shows new card is being produced and the next day it changes into approved

good that’s all what I want to know bro.

somy so after that how long does it take to receive EAD card please plus will the card come together with SSN card please?

so the online case status will change into card was mailed then card was picked up by usps and then delivered. this whole thing takes about a week. for the ssn , it depends on your state, I know that they have huge backlog now and some people wait for2-8 weeks. I still didn’t get my husband’s EAD approved even, my pd is 6/15.

I’m a GC holder, so I went through all this before.

ohk nice one thank you so much. if it doesn’t come with the car I will visit the ssn office.

@jay what's your pd and field center?

my Pd is 03/26/2020 and my center is NBS.

omg and you just got your EAD approved now ? I saw late June fillers receiving theirs last week.

somy yes ooo. I have waited enough. I was very much frustrated I nearly gave up.

jay it took mine a week from approval to arrive (actually received it before I received the approval. approval date was 10/22 received card 10/29)

kim you received the mail before the approval notice?

I received the card before my approval notice yes. received the approval notice by mail 10/31. card was 10/29. so strange, 2020 right

ok that sounds good. so what of your ssn card @Kim?

SSN comes after your EAD

can I go and take it my self at the ssn office??

I don’t know about that. give it a trial .

ok bro

I had my ssn already from a work visa. would call them before going if that’s your plan!

@Kim did you take long to receive the ssn card or you had ssn already please???

I had my ssn already from a work visa

@jay jay, nbc is where all the benefits are processed but what is your city/field office?

Des Moines Iowa
