EAD (WorkPermit)

L2 EAD

Jan-2-2018 : Sent documents via USPS Certified Mail. Cost 4.96$. Ensure you opt for certified mail so that you can track it. I used money order of 410$. Preferably use check so that you immediately know when check is realized.
Jan-5-2018 : Received by lockbox. you can find this by tracking the documents.
Jan-10-2018 : Received email stating case accepted and the receipt number and forwarded to Vermont.

Absolutely no update until 75 days post case receipt.

March-26-2018 : Raised first service request for no update on my case.
Mar-28-2018 : Received standard response "We are still reviewing case and no updates at this time"

Apr-3-2018 : Case approved
Apr-3-201 : We mailed your card and USPS will deliver it.

Received card in about 90 days

Note:
1. I had sent an affidavit which mentioned the full form of my initials. My marraige certificate had iniitals whereas my passport had expanded form.

My PD is November 1st. I contacted my congressman on April 4th to see if they could help to expedite my case. This morning April 17th I woke up to 2 emails. My congressman said my case was sent for expedite but also that the expedite wait time might be long since there are many cases waiting in the expedite queue. So I’m not sure if it made a difference with the wait time but I sure hope so. I don’t think USCIS really understands how we applicants feel being in limbo. We go months without getting updates and if I hadn’t found this site by accident last year I’m sure I would have felt alone in this whole process. I wouldn’t even have known I could contact my congressman for help. Thanks to everyone that posts here. Your stories and experiences really help.

Hi guys.

I just want to know after fingerprints how long take for me to take my EAD in mailbox. I’m having fast process but I’m not sure how long takes. Some people are saying can be a week or two. My attorney said depends on homeland can be fast and slowly.

Thanks.

Hey guys,

I applied for STEM OPT extension and USCIS received my case on NOV 24th 2017. Till date I have no update on my case. I tried various sources like, Congressman, Senator, Ombudsman to get any update but none of them were useful. I also went to local USCIS office to ask for my case status and even there the officer asked me to wait. Is anyone in same boat as me and is it normal that they are taking so long to process a STEM OPT extension case?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

this if my first time applying for my work permit. i did my biometrics on the 24 of january. and my case status hasnt changed from "if we accept your case we will send you a receipt notice" on 12/22/17. I dont know if this is the normal waiting period or if its taking longer then usual. if someone could give me some advice or tell me how i could find out what process my app is at. this wait is really stressfull.. thank you.

 Hi everyone,

I’ve been following this form for couple of months and I really appreciate everyone’s feedback.

My application date Was on the 23 October 2017 and now I’m just passing 175 days and nothing as of yet. I did submit to the ombudsman three weeks ago and got a response last week saying that it’s under review. Anyone on the same boat?

My application is based on C9 marriage at the national benefit center.

 Wishing everybody all the luck and success

Hi,

My I765/131 PD is on 10/16/18. I opened 1 SR in March with no response and another in April which I just got a response saying I should get a decision within 60 days. Have you received the same? Also, how true the 60 days is?

Finally looking forward for the recently approved folks to hear which was their PD on NBC to kind of see where I am relatively standing in the line.

Thank you!

In old case status site history it say my expedite request is completed. New site says just case received.
What does expedite request completed means??

Plz help me

Thanks in advance

Hi guys, I filed my I-765, I-485, and I-130 applications on 10/10/17 and I haven't gotten my employment card yet. I contacted my congress woman but she was not very helpful. I am in the process of contacting ombudsman, but I am unsure of the documents to send as support for my case. What documents should I send to prove my case? Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.
