EAD pending
Concurrent filing of I-485,765 and 131 with I-140 - March 26, 2018.
I-140 approved in 13 days.
Biometrics done within a week of the approval.
I-485 transferred to local office 9 days ago.
I-765 and 131 pending 60 days.
Is it too early to inquire about status of I-765 and I-131 ?

Got my card finally
December filer. Here’s my elaborate timeline. Hopefully it helps someone.
Category: c9, married to U.S. Citizen
Current visa class: F1
Filed i485, i765, i130. Center: NBC. Local USCIS field office: Atlanta
USCIS receives application: Dec 27, 2017
Receipt notice: Jan 5, 2018
Biometrics: Jan 30, 2018
*created account at www.my.uscis.gov*
Update on i485: We are scheduling your interview – Feb 8, 2018
SR on March 29, 2018 for “case outside normal processing time” (93 days from application receipt date and 84 days from receipt notice date)
Generic response at ‘USCIS my case status’ website: your case is yet to be reviewed blah blah
I did nothing else after this. I filled out the ombudsman form but I never heard anything so I’m not sure it ever went through.
May 8, 2018: Receives random email apparently with response concerning my March 29 SR:
“Your case is currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly.”
These are updates on www.my.uscis.gov following that:
May 18, 2018: We are producing your card and will mail it to you
May 21, 2018: We approved your case
May 24, 2018: We mailed your card to you. The U.S. Postal Service will deliver it.
*tracking number was sent. Expected delivery date was May 26, 2018
May 26, 2018: Card received (or to be unless the rapture happens and the usps driver never makes it haha)
Total number of days before card approved: 134 days (4 months 14 days). Or 143 days if you count from Dec 27, 2018
Total number of days before card received: 142 days (4 months 22 days) or 151 days (exactly 5 months) if you count from Dec 27, 2018
Hope this helps somebody!

Lawyers suck and outdated new policies
Lawyers suck, especially now with new rules and policies. Mine sucks big time as well. I will explain what I know from infopass and other info.
First, your i485 is the application to get a GC this is by far most important. One of the fastest timelines and ways to get it is i485 c9 via marriage to USC. So the timelines I will use are for that mainly, if your case is different expect longer waits.
Historically the entire i485 process took 4-6 months and all cases within 1 year. Then sometime ago USCIS fell back to all cases taking 8months or more, and lots over 1year and some over 2 years.
Thus USCIS created the i765 process to give you interim benefits right away while your i485 is pending. Till up to early 2017 all i765 cases basically were processed in 90 days and expedites took 30-45 days.
Unfortunately the current administration and one before saw that timelines for i485 continue to get worse and worse, and lots of people are almost on the i765 for over 1 year while their i485 is stuck pending. Basically just cue some Trump jokes here...
The result has become that the current administration has decided to bring focus back to mainly the i485 process. They done this by making the i765 be atleast 4-5 months and usually 5 plus months now vs 90 days for almost everyone. While on other hand easier cases like lots of k1 processes have their i485 timeline to be 5months total again.
So some people are benefiting and many others are stuck waiting. Versus everyone stuck for 8months to over 1 year.
What does this all mean for us all waiting? Based on infopass and other info I got. You need to push updates and questions around your i485 now and not just focus on i765 first coming like our idiot lawyers are telling us. That was old world.
First you need to see you are at the “Ready to schedule interview phase”. Also if you didnt frontload your i485 application like most idiot lawyers say dont you could see your case drag. Cause again they are focused on the i485 mainly again.
So try to push SRs on on your i485 as well and see what is holding it up, because without background checks done these days they will delay i765 for sure.
Hope this helps others.

Ready for interview
So last night I got a text message saying that there was an update on my I 485 case I checked it and it finally switched to ready to be scheduled for interview. However I have yet to receive an EAD my PD is Nov 1st. I really want the EAD so I can get my life moving.

235 days and counting - no EAD
Man, words ran out of me to describe the situation, I don't have anything to say more. Life has come to a complete stop without an EAD. You can't work. You can't visit your family home. You only have to sit home idle waiting and watching, hoping that someday, you will wake up to a notification of acceptance.

485 decided before 765?
Hey guys!
Can someone please help me understand the process a bit better.. So I read that USCIS has approve your AOS 485 - case before they issue you an EAD (765). What exactly does this mean? Wouldn't that then mean that the processing for 765 would take the same amount of time as the processing for 485?

2017 Oct filer
To those Oct filers who submitted your files to NBC.
Here is my timeline:
PD: 01-20-2016 AOS based on marriage (GREEN CARD HOLDER);
RD:10-16-2017 USCIS received my i485/i765/i131
219days later
05-22-2018 Case Status: Card/ Document Production(i765)
05-23-2018 Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview(i485)
Since this forum helped me a lot, here I just wanna share my timeline and tell those people who are still waiting for their case update that do not lose your hope and keep waiting.
I tried everything what I could do for my case(congressman/ SRs/ Ombudsman/ local office visit/ lawer), but I really do not think they can help us on our cases because USCIS is an independent department.
So, just do what make you happy, do what can let you out of this terrible situation, and the result is coming on its way.
BTW, is there anyone know that how long I will be scheduled after I received the notice of "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview"?
Thank you for all.

EAD Mail Process
Hi Guys
I was wondering what is the average time that it takes or an EAD to arrive after receiving the "we have ordered your card" update? I recently started a new job thinking that I could work with my expired work permit and SSN. I got a notification from the e-verify for the I-9 and I contested it but HR has not followed up with me or said anything and I am currently on payroll. Does anyone know if this is an issue, and if so, how long will it take for my card to arrive?
Thanks so much!!

:(
Guys, I can't endure this pain anymore. What have I done to deserve this? 190 day passed and nothing. I graduated from college 6 months ago and I had to turn down 5 different jobs because I don't have an EAD. I'm about to turn down another offer because the manager is rushing me. I don't know what to do anymore. Nothing has been helpful, Ombudsman, Congressman, Senator, etc. I'm always treated like **** every time I call the the customer service. I'm at this point where I want to call the suicide hotline but I'm too scared because it might affect my case. I'm all alone. I'm running out of money. I don't have anymore to pay rent. I don't know what I've done wrong. God please forgive me.
