EAD Waiting
I applied for the renewal of my EAD around November 2018 and got the receipt notice by the 20th of Nov. then I went to get my fingerprints on Dec 13, 2018. Since then, my status on the case tracker is still "Case has been Received. We had sent you a receipt notice." It is April 11, 2019 now and I still haven't got approval letter or rejection letter. It is very nerve breaking. I checked Processing times for I-765 last month, it was 4.5-6.5 months. Now it has already increased to 5-7 months! I don't know what to do now. My driver license will be expired soon and the DMV said I can't renew it without my EAD card.
Why is it taking so long for a renewal?! I don't know what is happening with USCIS right now... Anyone has similar experience which can be shared?

OPT denied while outside US
I had to travel out of the US after graduation during my grace period (medical emergency) whilst my OPT application was under processing but the same day during the flight my application was denied due to the 30 days rule. My DSO says my SEVIS is active and I am within 60 days of my grace period so with the help of friends I can reapply for OPT. Is my F1 still valid if I apply for OPT?? Any advice/help on this is appreciated!

Need to ask a few questions.
I always check the status of Case Tracker application.
Usually what time this update is updated?

And when can I expect to get the EAD card?

EAD approved two weeks ago - still waiting for card
Hey guys!

I live in SoCal. I filed in November 2018 through the National Benefit Center and finally got my EAD approval notice in the mail after 4 months. It's been 2 weeks since I got it and still no card.

On April 3rd it said online that my card was being produced and now it just updated the date to April 9th but its still saying the same thing. I'm stressing cause I might have to leave the country in a week but I obviously need the document.

I keep seeing cases where it took only a couple days to receive the card so I am a little annoyed. Anyone had the same situation? How long did it take for you?

Thanks! Good luck everyone!
