December filler, NBC
Hi everyone!

Is anyone waiting for the EAD/AP since December 2017 like me???

It's been 254 days now and nothing.
2 days ago I called USCIS customer service and they raised my first service request.
But from what I've been reading here USCIS replies never give any specific information.
My lawyer says I need to patiently wait but I'm thinking to contact a congressman or an ombudsman.
Has anyone have positive experience contacting them??? Please share!

Waiting for EAD
Hi everyone,

I need some advice.

My PD was April 18 at NBC
I’m still waiting for my EAD/AP to get approved.

I currently have a work visa that is expiring in September. Can my employer put me on unpaid leave until I get my EAD?

Dear All

Just want to share with you all the update for my I-765:

PD: 2/20/2018
California, LA Filer - NBC processing
Married to USC

8/7/2018: case was approved
8/9/2018: received approval notice
8/10/2018: EAD was mailed by USPS
8/13/2018: Received Approval notice

Just a lot of patience and trust. At least now it's a little easier to wait for my I-485 cause I can work while waiting. I am getting my driver's license too as well!

Goodluck to everyone!

Expedite with Job Offer (Atlanta)
Hello!

This website is really helpful and I want to share my experience with EAD so far.

I applied for my green card (marriage based) and work authorization all together. Here is the timeline:

07/02/2018 I765 Received Date
07/09/2018 Notice Date
07/30/2018 Biometrics Appointment
08/03/2018 Got a job offer
08/07/2018 Contacted Congressman and sent all documents
08/10/2018 Called USCIS myself and asked to expedite based on "Severe Financial Loss"

The USCIS website now shows:
- On August 10, 2018, your request to have your case expedited, referral number xxx, was completed.
- On August 10, 2018, we sent a response to your request to have your case expedited, referral number ZZZ.
- On August 10, 2018, your request to have your case expedited, referral number YYYY was assigned to an officer for response.

Here are some details:
1. The congressman officer told me "a congressional inquiry has been made on your behalf. As soon as a response is received, you will be contacted."
2. 3 days later I called USCIS and they said that there was no EXPEDITE request and that the only person that could this type of request was me.
3. I then opened the request with an USCIS officer over the phone.
4. The USCIS website says that my request was assigned to an officer, a response was sent and the request was completed all on the same day that I called them.
5. I never sent a copy of my job offer or anything to USCIS.

I am now waiting for a mail with the answer for my request.

My concern is that they never asked for a copy of my job offer... and I am not sure what's the congressman role here. It doesn't look that they can help at all.

Any thoughts?

Reasons to request expedite
Hi all. Been lurking as a guest for a while and really appreciate a lot of questions and answers on here:)

Decided to register so I could ask my own!

I’m curious if a good enough reason to request my EAD/travel docs be expedited due to my husband working out of state. We live in a rural area, no public transport whatsoever. Basically stranded without drivers license when he’s away (which is about 3 weeks monthly) depending on my fil for rides to and from anywhere.

Received date for both said forms March 29/18
Notice date April 9/18
Biometrics done May 9/18
I-485 ready to schedule interview

  Thanks y’all for taking time to read:)

Anyone with cards approved today?
Hey!!

So I’ve been obsessing about my timeline and I haven’t even reached the 90 days mark.

Can you guys share if you’ve received the notification of approval lately?

Thanks :).

About to be unemployed and maybe homeless
This has been a horrible experience. I'm a single mother of 3 kids. I do not have any family or friends to help. I was staying at mother's and she asked me to leave. She made up these sorry excuses for wanting to put me out. I was only there for 3 months. My mother is root of what I am going through. She never filed for me as a child. My case is a VAWA case and I have been waiting since November 2017 for my renewal. If I lose my job, I will be homeless. I have sent letters and called. This is extremely tiring.
