New Card Being Produced - My Timeline
Hi everyone,

I want to echo the sentiments of how helpful this forum has been for my experience, and to share what I've done to follow up on my outstanding application for an I-765 C(9) pending I-485 status (family based application):

PD: 12/12/2017
Biometrics: 02/07/2018 (after being rescheduled by myself)
Card being produced: 04/12/2018 (through https://my.uscis.gov/account, NOT case status online)
Total days: 120 days

Follow up actions:
-- Case inquiry made by calling customer service line: 03/20/2018. Request for supporting evidence mailed on 03/26/2018. Faxed evidence to USCIS on 03/27/2018. No response since.

-- Contacted Senator Cory Booker's office on 03/20/2018, twice both phone message and online form. No response at all. Maybe i should've tweeted instead, he always seemed responsive on social media.

-- Contacted Congressman's office on 03/24/2018. Responded via email on 03/27/2018. They submitted request to USCIS on my behalf on 03/28/2018, said I should expect a 2 week wait. Upon two week deadline, they followed up with USCIS on my behalf Very responsive and helpful, wonderful service.

-- Completed InfoPass appointment on 04/06/2018. ISO very helpful, said that my I-485 was on the picklist and interview was ready to be scheduled. I have not received any direct notifications on my I-485 though.

-- Contacted Ombudsman on 04/10/2018. Confirmation of receipt via email immediately. No further response.

So I'm not sure which channel my "new card being produced" notice is coming through - congressman, ombudsman, or just the regular waiting line - but am grateful for someone's advice on this forum to sign up for account status updates in BOTH USCIS websites. It looks like case status online website is not as immediate as the USCIS account website.

New Card Being Produced
Hi all,

I finally received a notification today that said my new card was being produced. Hooray!

Application received: 12/05/17
New Card Being Produced: 11/04/18
Total Days: 117

I tried every trick in the book to get this sped up and nothing worked, service requests, phone calls, congressman assistance, expedite requests...

I am so happy to have finally received this good news after a long and stressful wait.

My advice to everyone out there, file 180 days in advance to save the worry of your EAD expiring before the new one arrives.

Thank you and good luck!

EAD received after 7 months wait
Been a silent reader here... .. It's been a frustrating 7 months wait but I'm glad that it's finally it's over.
PD: Sept, 1 2017, C09, (MSC )
Biometrics: Sept, 27, 2017
Several case inquiries.. not helpful. Requested for expedited processing... not approved nor denied. The most I got was that case was under review and should get a decision shortly.. Another response was that I should get a decision within 60 days from the date of the letter. That was like first week January 2018. I lost my job at the end of January.

Contacted Ombudsman - Not helpful
Contacted congressman in Feb 2nd- case was routed for expedited processing.
Got RFIE FOR i-485 on March, 9th (exactly 6 months of case pending.
USCIS received response on march 16th.
I-485 Status changed to response received on March 19th, Status changed to Response on review on March, 23rd.
I-765 approved on April 3rd
Approval received on April 9th
EAD card received on April 11th

The other good news is that my former employer told me that they are willing to re-offer my position to me.

Now waiting for I-485 to be ready for schedule for Interview. Hopefully that happens soon.

EAD Automatic extension c09 category
Did anyone get automatic extension after filling for renewal while stil waiting on pending adjustment of status. Secondly I sent my renewal application to the office that produce the first one( national benefit center lee’s summit MO) and it’s been two week and am yet to hear anything from them. It got delivered last week Monday. Or did I send my application to the wrong office? If I don’t get a renewal card before June 28 do I have to stop working or automatical extension will apply? Thank you for you views in anticipation.

New Status on EAD
Hi,
I saw a new status update on my EAD card (PD Jan 2018).
The my account website now says -
"We reviewed your biometrics and are still processing your case".
What does this mean? How much longer will this take?
Has anyone else got this status update?
Thanks
