Thanks Jose! :-)

Thanks a lot Humco! I actually should have been calling yesterday instead of freakin out on here because USCIS FINALLY replied yesterday! I am going to get a printout of my number on Friday and they say I should be getting my card within a week, but I'll believe it when I see it lol FINALLY!!!

UGH!!!! Everything is taking painfully long. Almost 8 months to get approved and now 2 months to get my SSN?! Not even the actual card, just a damn printout! It's been 6 weeks and counting and they still haven't received confirmation from USCIS. I was told it could take up to 8 weeks so of course, its going to take the longest possible time! ARGH! Wouldn't be so frustrated if it wasn't so nice out and I didn't have an interview lined up for a job. I want my motorcycle and new job NOW.

I waited exactly a week to go! That's why I was surprised. I read of plenty of people going the day after receiving their EAD and they had a waiting period. But oh well! Hopefully once my application is submitted, it won't take too long!

Stop being so damn positive. LOL kidding. Thanks. I know! Just annoying! I wanna ride my scooooooooterrrrr!!!!

Haha! Tell me about it!! I'll take a triple quadruple shot espresso with a turbo kick. I have no idea what a turbo kick is but I'm from the Power Rangers era, so there.

Hahahahahaha! Your GIFs are so freakin funny About to leave to the SS office! OW OW!!!!

Hey! I got a text saying my case had been updated on a Tuesday at exactly 12:00 PM. Then I got 5 more texts throughout the day saying the same thing about both cases (DACA and EAD). When I checked my case online, it went from "sent to production" to "delivered to your address" to offering a tracking number for the EAD. Good luck!!

@Yuly87 I can't imagine having that stress on top of waiting to be approved but its not over until its over. You still have this opportunity just as much as the rest of us so don't let go of that hope! That's what keeps up moving forward in life. I know everyone says it, but its true: stop thinking about it. You need to decide, ok.... I'm done obsessing. I've done all I can do. I sent in every single piece of information I could. It's now up to them to notify me. It took over 7 months for me... First several months were brutal but when I did the math and realized it could take up to mid-May... I was like, oh helllll no. I'm not going to be this stressed out and miserable until then lol you really have to consciously make the decision to focus on other things in your life. I love you guys and this forum but I even had to take a step back from coming on here so often because it would give me anxiety. And before I knew it... Random text! It'll happen when you least expect it. The most important thing now if your mental health and happiness! Go on a date girl! Let some cutie pamper you! ;-) ;-)

I was on the same boat last week guys! Over 7 months for me... Bios Sept 26th and I JUST now got approved this past week. They waited until the last second for me I know this is all you hear... But ESPECIALLY now that you're at 7/8 months... It'll happen any day now! Just try to get your mind off it and it'll happen when you least expect it. And By the way.. I know we're talking about total number of days but USCIS counts business days. I was actually under 6 months in business days. So calculate how many business days you've been waiting to have a better idea!

You lost me at "Glenn Beck" lol

Yay!! Congrats!! I got mine the same day :-) but I work Monday-Thursday so I have to wait until Friday! Lucky! Lol torture!! So happy for you!

I've tried to refrain from participating in conversations about what is going here right now because after what we've been through as a city, it's offensive and angering that people can't think outside of themselves and decide to be the expert on how law enforcement should have handled this. I was a few blocks away with my family, including my 1 year old niece and 4 year old nephew, on our way to the finish line to watch the runners finish strong. We heard the booms and my boyfriend who works at Fenway Park immediately called us to tell us to stop walking that way. We are exhausted. From the nightmare of seeing our streets covered in blood and a picture of this animal smirking as he's walking away from a bomb he just placed behind an 8 year old child and at the legs of innocent people watching such a beautiful, positive event to the almost impossible to believe night and day we had on Friday... I have only the mental and emotional energy to say, if you didn't experience this firsthand, hold your judgements to yourself and send positive energy out. With a K-9 unit officer in my family and numerous BPD friends, I hope that everyone can admire and be grateful for the top notch, unrelenting service they provided. Yes, our city was on lockdown while you all watched on your TVs because there were two terrorists shooting at our cops (killing a 26 year old cop execution style) and throwing GRENADES AND BOMBS all over our streets after getting caught trying to plant bombs at MIT. If you had 2 psychopaths with an arsenal of guns and explosives running through your city, I hope you wouldn't think it was ridiculous to put it on lockdown so no more people get hurt. I'm sure if that little boy was your child, you wouldn't think it was an overreaction. These guys were not alone. 3 other men were arrested in Kenmore Square with a bomb in the trunk much larger than the pressure cooker bomb used at the marathon. To this second, we still have hundreds of cops sniffing out areas and keeping presence in the city looking for any other people that might have been involved. It was a great relief to have caught suspect 2 but we really still don't know if there were more. To have my city that I love so much be attacked in such a brutal way and have things most people only see in movies happen in our streets, it's heartbreaking. To know that if we hadn't been running late on Monday, my family might have had the first bomb blow up on them, is chilling. We're BOSTON STRONG and we are living our lives without having been terrorized but the hurt and pain of these 4 senseless lives being lost and so many others who had arms and legs blown off... we will never forget. And I urge you to show respect in your comments as many victims and families of victims can see them.

Amazing!

Hahahaha I am Boston at heart!! But without the hideous accent LOL my boyfriend however is born and bred here... Careful, I have a feisty gringo on my hands! ;-) god I'm so excited! Oh and ride? Eff that, I'm flying all over now!

Gracias Santi!! I cannot wait to get my motorcycle license... Just in time for summer!! Hahahaha it's wicked hot here... ALMOST 60 DEGREES!! You jealous?? Lol I hate you and your Miami sun. I miss it!

Muchachito, me demore tanto para dejarlos saber porque llegue borrachita a la casa!! LOL! Qué descanso tan inmenso. EEEEEK! So excited!!!

Funny that you posted this today because I got approved at noon!!!!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) UGH! I'm so happy. Anyone else waiting: they seriously waited until the last possible second to reach the 6 month max (business days) for me so just get your mind off it and live your life until then! It'll happen.

Bios on September 26th and I'm still waiting... this is getting ridiculous.
