medinaj06 15 Posted July 17, 2013 I dont think they send an approval letter for the work permit, it itself is the proof you were approved! 1 Dreamer3oh3 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Theresa 63 Posted July 31, 2013 They only need to send you I-821 aproval letter and the work permit on a separate envelope. The letter for the work permit is he one where the card is attached to. And that's for your records. You'll need your passport, birth certificate, I-821 aproval letter and work permit to get your social security number. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zoey84 5 Posted August 3, 2013 You do get 2 letters..I got my ead card first and a week later I got my i821 approval letter and my work permit letter im sure you'll get it soon...but to get your ssn and id/drivers license you only need ead card and birth certificate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pswa83 302 Posted August 3, 2013 there are 2 approval letters that you need. the approval letter for the I-821D and the approval letter for the I-765. they will look similar to each other except for the fact that they are for different applications. the letter that the EAD card is attached to when it is received in the mail, is NOT the approval letter. it is just a letter explaining the EAD card. most likely you will need both approval letters for either renewing DACA, if and when the time comes, or if and when reform passes you may need to show that you have been approved for DACA. if you have not received the approval letter for the EAD, all you need to do is call USCIS and state that you never received the I-797 for your approved I-765 and ask for it to be sent again.
