Application for EAD Approved, but Card not received
Hi everyone,

I am wondering if there are folks here who are/were in a similar situation as I am and if there are recommendations to get some clarity on my filing.

My wife and I received an approval notice for our I-765 applications on 30-March-2020 based on our I-485 filing (which is still in progress & in good standing). Since this time, we've not seen any movement towards production or delivery of the EAD cards.

My wife was able to secure a job offer in April and is scheduled to start work end of June (3 months after the EAD card was approved). Now, given the lack of mobility and direction from USCIS, the recruiter and Hiring Manager are considering rescinding the offer (& understandably so!).

I have a couple of questions in case people have experienced something similar:
1. Is there a way to get more clarity around what is going on here? The CS agents are pretty much parroting off the same information that we get on-site and basically told us they are unable to forward or connect us to an officer.
2. Does this qualify for an expedited request since there is likely a financial loss involved?

Thanks and any inputs here are greatly appreciated!!

EAD Timeline
Hello all,

So I've been blessed enough to get an update to my case on may 15th. They have finally approved my i-765 application and I wanted to share my timeline with those of you that are checking their status on the daily. Though, I do not have my EAD in hand, I just figured I'd brighten someone's day.

I-130/ i-765/ i- 485

PD: 01/24/20
Receipt: 02/02/20
Biometrics App: 02/18/20
Fingerprints Applied to apps: 02/18/20
Expedite request -financial loss due to covid: 04/14/20
Expedite Request Denied: 05/01/20
New Card Ordered: 05/14/20
I-765 Case Approved: 05/15/20

Active Days: 114 as of today, 05/18/20

So those January Filers might be getting some good news soon enough.

I cannot wait to go back to work. I've got my job lined up, just need the EAD to arrive.

I485/EAD Processing time
Hi,
I applied for a concurrent I485/I130/I131/I765 on 01/30/2020. I have completed bio-metrics on feb 27,2020. I-765 updated for biometrics on March 1, 2020, I-131 updated for biometrics on March 3, 2020. Then received RFE on March 14,2020, submitted response by March 30, 2020. Status shows I485 "received response to RFE". No update since then.
Can someone please share if the next step here is to see "ready for interview", or can it be EAD approved? Also, anyone else with a similar timeline, who has received their EAD?

Do not know what to do anymore - I765 EAD
Hi guys,

Service center: potomac

Timeline:
November 12/2019 - Case received by USCIS
February 12/2020 - Reply to RFE received by USCIS
April 12/2020 - Deadline passed of decision making / Out of processing time

It it unbelievable what a chaotic process USCIS processes have become. I have been waiting for over 6 months, the deadline at potomac is maximum of 5 months. I have called with USCIS on a weekly basis, the congressman is involved and tried his best, all they say is that my case is under active review with an adjucation officer, the final stage. This case has been with this officer for over 1,5 month, the deadline to respond by them is 30 days, so almost double that deadlin. I have absolutely no clue what to do anymore. My job offers have been retracted, also because of covid unfortunately, and my visa expires end of october, question is even if an extension would be processed on a timely basis.

Just wanted to share this story with you guys, I truly hope for the best soon and for everybody. But it is super frustrating that processing times have doubled or even more in just a matter of time!

Please stay safe everybody!

Anyone here with case still pending since August? please share

My case has been pending for 272 days now. All requests from Congressman and Ombudsman come back with generic responses stating that "case us under active review"

Not sure how much longer I need to wait...
