Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / December 2004

Well Santa came a few days late but it was well worth it and such a
surprise.  We had such a disheartening experience on Tuesday when Garry
went to be fingerprinted, that I decided I was going to lay off looking
up any approvals etc till next week.  This morning when I was on the
computer I decided what the heck.  I didn't have his NOA's in front of
me and just typed his number in hoping it would be correct!  I thought I
was reading someone else's..............I ran downstairs yelling yipee,
woke Garry up, pulled the papers out of the filing cabinet to confirm
the numbers while he was waking up to see what all the commotion was.
40 days from the date of receipt, Garry's EAD was approved!  I yelled
over to him..............Get that Welsh Arse out of bed boy, and go look
for a job!  He jumped out of bed laughing and we are SOOOOOOOOOOOO
EXCITED!!!  He has had so many offers that when he is ready to go, come
see them for a job.  So now I guess we just sit tight and wait for the
card to arrive and THEN go get him a SS#?  Or can we take the approval
from online printed to the SS office?  What's everyones advice?
