JoseG 383 Posted February 11, 2013 I took my EAD and Birth Certificate. If you have a passport, take that as well. I've heard some people get asked for their passport instead of their Birth Certificate although you can use either one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ruthie_sue08 31 Posted February 12, 2013 It is the last step to your new life It's worth it. Yes i know! you can renew your passport without the approval right? I might just do both when i go get my consulate ID! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, the Passport isn't necessary. Don't get a new one. Your Birth Certificate with your EAD is fine, no translation needed, but you can take it also, just in case. The only reason I mentioned the Passport was because some people claim to have been asked for it, but the SSA guidelines clearly state that you can use either a Passport or Birth Certificate, you just have to know that beforehand in case they want to tell you otherwise. https://secure.ssa.gov/apps10/poms.nsf/lnx/0110210020 1 engineer2mike reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you! I can wait just a little longer to renew my passport then! Yay! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blazinknight23 1 Posted February 13, 2013 When i went in, the front office worker asked for my EAD, and saw that it was a C33 so he asked for my Birth Certificate and in probably 10 minutes, i was done..total time was 15 minutes....Maybe mentioning the Category Card# helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
erika22 27 Posted February 13, 2013 Yes I think mentioning the card helps because they can help you faster since they just put all your information in the system. I had to wait 2 1/2 hours until I finally asked the lady again that I was from the deferred action and she finally just did all the paperwork it took her about 5 minutes she really helped me out. I hope I receive my card soon But I also just took my card and my birth certificate thats all they asked me for.
