Card ordered! Now, I need some things that needs to be done quickly but have some Qs

1) I need to apply for FAFSA scholarship ASAP (class starts Aug 22nd), but dont have the card in hand, but USCIS site says its ordered. Can I go ahead and apply for it using the A# on my EAD?

2) I want to remove the "INS authorization" thing on my SS card, is there specific time period I need to do that by? I would do it ASAP but I JUST got hired for a job and presented my employer with my EAD, which was sent somewhere to be processed so I dont know if anything will be interfered if I changed my SS status immediately.

3) I can remove the "temporary" mark on my DL, right? Not only that I want to remove the "temporary", they also only gave me like 1yr expiration period so I want to extend that.

4) (this question is not urgent but just thought I would ask) - If I were to go out of country, do I still present my home-country passport? If so, what could I expect at the airport? Anything particular I need to know about before exiting US (and of course reentering)?

EDIT: one more thing quickly just to confirm... EAD is no longer needed/relevant to me when I get the GC, right?

1. Yes
2. No specific time period
3. Yes
4. Yes you present your passport
5. No EAD void once you get your green card.

Next Question?

Thanks ananga73
I came across another question while working on my FAFSA application.
It says that "Most male students must register with Selective Service to receive federal student aid. If you are not registered, select Register me"
I have heard of this but really dont know much about it. Am I automatically registered for this? How would I find out?

I have heard of this but really dont know much about it. Am I automatically registered for this? How would I find out? Sorry I went to grad/business school on full academic scholarship so I dont know anything about students loans etc. You may want to ask the people at the financial aid office.
