My biometrics was scheduled and done on November 13
I have a clean record and for my original documents, I submitted my I-94, transcripts dated 2008-present, a letter from George W Bush for an award (ha!) dated June 2007, a copy of my passport, and birth certificate. I had a legal F-2 visa until May, 2012 (whew!) So I'm glad everything is working out quite well.
My question is, what is i797C and how long will I get my approval after my biometrics? I am 99.99% positive that I have no malicious police records.
Also, how long will the wait be for my SSN? I NEED it for some scholarships and college apps/loans.
Thanks so much everyone!

There is no timeframe, mine got approved 10 days after biometrics, but some friends have not gotten approved and they sent it weeks before me. So its just luck I guess. I got my work permit 11days after being approved,went to social security next day and received my number a week after that. Patience and good luck
