Waiting time is over!
Good evening,

After 206 days waiting, we finally received the message saying that our EAD cards are being produced.

Rd 10/15/18
Employment based
NBC
From Orlando

No calls, no expedite, just wait.
My prayers for all of those who have so many things on hold while waiting for this document.
I found a 10 dollar gym close to my house and started working out every day. It helped me a lot to keep my mind sound through this process. USCIS gave me some muscles lol.
God bless you all!

Udapte RFE and EAD Approved
Hi
i'm waiting for my EAD since 100 days now, and my service center is Potomac

I received a RFE on May 03, and I sent my response May 06.

I know they received it on May 08 because the tracker on my mail said it was delivered but there is no update on the website.

How many time does it take to be updated after they received my response to the RFE ?

Then how long it take to get the EAD approved after responding to the RFE ?

Thank you for your share

I put in 2 work authorization renewal application.....
Hey guys, so back in March I put in an application for work authorization and I didn't hear anything for a whole month from USICS regarding my application. Starting in April I started making inquiries regrading my application from USICS because my current Ead was going to expire EARLY MAY . Every time I called immigration they told me that they couldn't see any application I sent in so at the beginning of May I put in another work authorization application due to the fact that I assumed the other application was lost somehow and I didnt want to take the chance of losing out on my 180 days extension. Now, Ii just got a notification saying that usics received my application on the 17th of April.

The problem here is, I just sent in a new application not too long ago so whats going to happen now? Would the new application cancel out the old one or would the new one be cancelled? I am so worried.

October filer for EAD/AOS
Hi All,

I thought I'd share my experience to date as I have found this forum over the last few weeks a very welcome respite to the exhausting and stressful wait times being experienced.

Particulars of my own case:-

Texas Resident
Submitted I-140 NIW September 26th 2018 to Texas Service center. Jurisdiction change occurred on November 28th. No idea where? Time thus far:- now 224 Days. (7.4 Months)

Submitted I-765/I-130/I-485 October 26th 2018, NBC Employment based. 195 days ago. (6.4 months)

No EAD/AP approved as of yet with nothing imminent in sight.

Raised an expedite request with Congresswoman May 3rd and await response. I must say that I have to commend the Congresswoman's office for exceptionally fast attention and response in my expedite request.The black hole appears to be with USCIS unfortunately.

The I-765 / I-130 case will be outside of normal processing time on May 27 (7 months and 1 day mark for the EAD), so we'll raise a further service request at that time.

But that may all be academic as the I-485 Interview was just recently scheduled for June 4th 2019 despite my underlying I-140 still registering as pending online. Another uncertainty to contend with while attempting to prepare for interview which may be in vain given my I-140 status.

My L1A expired Feb 3rd 2019, and as such I have terminated employment from that time awaiting the EAD to be granted. I have been effectively "on hold" the last three months with no income where I am the sole breadwinner of the family. Thankfully legal presence after L1 Expiry is not an issue for us, it is just a matter of cash flow now to survive the excessive wait times for EAD. Our emergency funds that were readily accessible at the time (designed to cover one off expenditure's typically) have now dried up as we enter May and I am trying to extract additional funds that I have "locked" away to cover another three months based on past performance of USCIS processing cases. I thought I was generous with a 6 month time allowance for USCIS to adjudicate an EAD when I submitted it back in October especially given that when I submitted the process guideline was only 3-4 months.. How wrong I was in that assumption.

Thus far there is no indication that the EAD will be approved anytime soon. It looks like the I-485 interview will happen before I get the EAD, but I have no idea how long after the interview adjudication will actually be achieved.

I do remain optimistic that eventually the process will complete one way or the other so the only question now is how long more? A question I know that is echoed here on this site time and time again. I will update this post as I hear more to help in some small part to answering that question with a more complete experience data point.

Keep the faith!!
