F1 EAD to i485 EAD
Hey guys hopefully you can help!

I was in the USA on an F-1 from Canada. I am on my OPT (expires Monday) and my job wants to keep me but I haven't received approval or any news about my EAD through the i485 application.

Priority Date: 4/30/18
Bio-metrics appt: 07/05/18
USCIS Changed Status to "Fingerprint Review was completed": 07/09/2018
CURRENT EAD EXPIRES: 08/13/2018
Processing at the NBC

I am currently at day 99. I know that they are behind and say 5-7 months processing time but I was wondering about a couple things:

Do I need to do my i-485 interview BEFORE they approve the EAD?
If I have a job can I expedite the process?
I also read that if after 90 days they haven't denied you they MUST approve it and then it just becomes a waiting game.

Honestly any help you can provide is helpful. I am the "breadwinner" for the house so I need to be out of work for as little time as necessary.

F2A Oct-Nov
Fellow F2A peers from Oct/Nov. any news on your cases? We’re at 294 days (10/16/18), and my PD hopefully will be current next VB (8/11/16).

To be completely honest, my wife was taking it calmly but the last couple of weeks I have noted lots of anxiety from this. She is desperate without work or travel to visit her fam. Don’t know for how long USCIS is going to have us in this torture. I have an info pass for next Friday and also a pending SR (due by 8/13 according to them)

EB1 EAD cards current delay
Hi All

EB1 A
Filed I-140,I-765, I-131, I-485 all concurrently.
Date of Receipt: 16 July 2018.
Finger Prints Notice: Aug 3, 2018.
Finger Prints Scheduled: Aug 7, 2018

I was wondering that what is the current delay in getting an EAD/AP. Is EAD processing different for different categories or there is a consolidated processing.

Biometrics done 03/01/2018

It has been 190 days for us waiting for the ead, months of frustration, fights, and a lot of desesperation.. but finally it ended. Hang in there.. it might take a while and it might seem forever but it will get approved!
Good luck to you all!!
