Case approved but no EAD yet
My case for L2 EAD-I765 was updated to:-
- "New card is being produced" on 26th March.
- then it changed to "Case has been approved" on 27th March.
There has been no change since then. I got the approval notice but the I do not have the card yet. Also the status has not changed to "Card has been mailed" on the new or the old USCIS website. Called USCIS & they said this is normal & asked me to wait. Is anyone else facing delays in received the card after the case was already approved. It has been 11 days now since the last update.
Thanks

Almost 8 months no EAD
Maybe someone can help me. I am a Canadian citizen married to H1b, I moved to US on H4.
We applied for AOS separately, he applied in April and mine was filed after I moved in Aug, 2017. We got married in Jan2017.
He already got his EAD/AP in Aug and still waiting for interview. Whereas me I haven?t even got EAD/ AP yet.
Questions:
1) is it possible I won?t get EAD/AP and straight interview?
2) do you know if our interviews are going to be separate or since I am follow to join, mine would be with him when he gets his?
3) I read anyone else listed on primary applicants application has to join for interview? So will I have 2 interviews or both will have 2 interviews?
Anyone has similar experience?

F1 transtion to AOS
I am a student and dont want to quit school before receiving my EAD card.
Some told me that I could have already done it, as my F1 is not needed anymore.
But I am affraid to be out of status.
Have anyone here faced something like that?

EAD concerns
More I am reading this forum and more nervous I am becoming about my EAD situation.
Applied under marriage Adjustment of Status.
PD 02/14/2018
Biometrics done on 03/19/2018
Now I have been just waiting with no communications or changes in my case. I have been regularly checking my case status on https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov/, but there is nothing.
I am currently working on a non-STEM OPT and my current EAD expires a few days before the 5 month mark. Reading that people are now waiting for 6 months, this is extremely discouraging because I don't want to lose my job.
Does anyone know how long it takes for the "we received your biometrics information" to be updated in your case file? Any insights will be appreciated.

EAD wait
So this morning I woke up to an email from USCIS saying my case was under review and I would receive a decision within 60days. But we all know how that goes. I’ve seen people get this same message and they are still waiting months later. My PD is November 1st. I’m really tired of waiting. I’ve been having panic attacks randomly because I can’t feel at ease. Apart from my yoga class I try not to do too much or go anywhere because I’m out of status and just in case there’s trouble I don’t want to be anywhere near it. So I’m trying to keep a low profile until at least I get the work permit so I can get a SS number.

114 DAYS - EAD - A18 - First Time - Vermont Office - Arrived on 114th Day
1st; I advise you to prepare all the required documents and write a Cover Letter which explains what is inside of the envelope and maybe stick on that cover letter on the envelope. I believe it would help.
My Timeline is like below;
Dec. 12th 2017 - I shipped my docs to Dallas TX
Dec. 15th 2017 - My case was received by them.
Dec. 26th 2017 - Receipt Notice USCIS Website (Still the same notice as of today :))
Jan. 04th 2018 - Receipt Notice arrived via USPS
Feb. 02nd 2018 - 1st SR Generated - Answered as 'On Processing Time'
Mar. 07th 2018 - Ombudsman Requested - (Did not help any; only created confusion.)
Mar. 15th 2018 - 2nd SR Generated - Answered as 'On Processing Time'
Mar. 19th 2018 - Expedited Requested - And Denied the day after :)
Mar. 21st 2018 - Congresswomen Visited - Her assistant helped; at least listened and tried to help.
Mar. 27th 2018 - Congresswomen Visited 2nd time - Her assistant made some call and advised me that my 'File on Process' and 'Should be arrived soon.'
Apr. 02nd 2018 - I-797 Approval Notice arrived
Apr. 05th 2018 - EAD Card Arrived at the end of the DAY of 111. and 114 days after I shipped my documents.
2nd Advise; You should definitely contact with Congressman. Otherwise nobody will help you. I don't believe Ombudsman. Its only confused me by giving wrong information in my case.
Best of Luck!...

EAD Card
USCIS received my I-765 and I-485 on 10/26/2017.
My EAD card (student -OPT) expired on 01/27/2018, and I was worried if I can apply for the OPT- EXTENSION or not! Because in this group I was told applying for the OPT- extension, it's fraud since I 've applied for I-765 based on I-485.....
Anyway, I decided to apply for the OPT extension although I filed the I-765 (based on I-485). Because while I'm waiting for OPT extension, I can work for another 6 months. I'm glad I did it!!
I received my STEM-OPT extension and EAD Card (based on I-485) yesterday.
please don't share FALSE information!!
