New I-485 form allows application for green card and social security card together

The new version of Form I-485 was published yesterday where you can apply for both cards on the application saving time. The filing fee for I-485 will not increase but there is a processing fee for the social security card. Both will be mailed once approved.

They’re making room for us.

Move it to Lounge.

Definitely getting ready for DACA legalization

that is because social security admin offices have been closed since COVID. I lost my SS card and literally had to mail in my EAD card and it took then 7 weeks to replace the card. It is a new level of messy!

How? If we already have Socials? Also would they replace the “only eligible with EAD” to regular I wonder?

Yeah I had to replace mine for other reasons. Though in my case it only took two weeks, likely because my local office isn't really busy serving a city of like 50k and some surrounding ones that probably don't add up to 100k.

If the I-485 is for a 10 year green card, yes. Dunno what they issue to conditional permanent residents.
