Episode 298: USCIS Removes Social Security Number Requests From EAD Applications

Since January 2026, USCIS will no longer allow applicants to request a Social Security Number at the same time they file an EAD application (Form I-765). Previously, many applicants could simply check a box on their EAD form and have USCIS coordinate with the Social Security Administration (SSA) to issue an SSN or replacement card. Under the updated policy, that convenience is ending. If you need an SSN, you will have to apply directly with SSA after your EAD is approved ). 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos

This fast-track option still allows for quicker decisions—typically within 15 days—but now comes at a higher cost. If you are planning to file, it's important to factor in the updated fees when planning your strategy and budget. Premium processing continues to offer expedited service for certain forms. For an additional fee, USCIS guarantees a 15-day response—either a decision or a request for evidence. If the agency does not respond within that timeframe, the premium processing fee is refunded. 💻 Website: https://directusimmigration.com/ 📱 Toll-Free Phone Number: 1(888)853-4833 Locations: U.S.: D.C., Florida, New York, Virginia Worldwide: Dubai, Mexico, Honduras 📧 Email: inquiry@directusimmigration.com Connect with Direct U.S. Immigration on Social Media: 💻 Facebook: Direct U.S. Immigration | Facebook 💻 Twitter: Direct U.S. Immigration (@D_USImmigration) / Twitter 💻 Instagram: Direct U.S. Immigration (@directusimmigration) • Instagram photos and videos 💻 TikTok: DirectUSImmigration (@directusimmigration) TikTok | Watch DirectUSImmigration's Newest TikTok Videos
