Yeah, i can't sign up for that. It said i needed to verify my identity and provided me with a list of streets and asked if I'd ever lived on any of them. I said "no" and it told me to basically eff off and get my identity verified at my local post office. I reckon by the time I've done that it'll likely be here...

I'm living with in-laws right now so that might be why it did that. Maybe they have intonedi delivery setup or something.

Rete

They send it in a plain white envelope via normal mail. There will not be a tracking number.

lenswipe

Ah ok. If it's normal mail why do they say 10-15 days? I'd it personally delivered by the president or something? Normal mail turnaround for domestic mail is about 5 working days, no?

I believe mine came in a priority mail envelope with tracking.

Looking at the informed delivery thing again - I can't verify online because they asked me if I'd lived on a bunch of different streets and I hadn't (so I said no). Then, they said that ID verification had failed and I had to go in person to a post office with the barcode they generated

AND ONE OF THE FOLLOWING:

• State Driver's License (I have a British one, I'm assuming that won't suffice)
• State Non-Driver's ID Card (Don't have one)
• Uniformed Services ID Card (Not military, therefore don't have one)
• US Passport (Don't have one)

AND

• Mortgage, Lease or Deed of Trust (Don't have this because I have no job to pay rent etc.)
• Voter or Vehicle Registration Card (No vehicle for the above reason)
• Home or Vehicle (see above) Insurance Policy

How did you guys manage? Or did it just work the first time for you guys?

Rete

Both my husband and I declined signing up for the USPS option of knowing what is coming in the mail before it is delivered. Can see absolutely no reason why I can't wait for the mail delivery and have to know ahead of time what is going to be delivered. I know when the bills are being sent (the few paper ones still in that form) and when to expect flyers and circulars and various occasion cards from friends and relatives. Anyway some of the USCIS mail has an address only and does not tell you a name of who is sending you the envelope.

Rete

If it did then it is the first I've heard of it. Don't recall you mentioning it in any of your posts from that time in your life. Also it would a rather new flavor of the month from USCIS.

Well, in my case it's because I don't have (as my wife would say) "patient pants"

As did mine - although mine was expedited, not sure if that made any difference.

Rete

So was Tom's I believe. Then, again, it could be a new means of doing things. Nothing stays the same forever. As long as lenswipe gets it, doesn't matter if it were pony express.

Tried again today to see if they had my tracking number. Apparently they require a signature now

My EAD arrived on Saturday guys!

Next step is my SSN. I checked the box to ask them to issue one, but according to my lawyer I still need to go to the office and apply. What do I do? Just rock up to the social security office with my EAD?

tom169

I'd probably give it a week and see if one shows up.

lenswipe

A week from when I received my EAD? Yeah, I was wondering about that. I tried calling the social security office to see if they had any advice, but the woman I spoke to said she couldn't help me unless I gave her my SSN... :
