EAD (WorkPermit)

I have applied EAD , Nebraska center on Nov-17 , Biometrics received on Dec-26. First SR requested on Mar-03 still there is no update on service request or EAD ..

Not sure why this unpresidential wait time.

Hi,
Still no updates for us. 2 weeks to get info pass appointment (currently scheduled on March 22).
SR - no update. Last update on Feb 5 case assigned to officer.

Anybody here who filled in Oct and got the card already from Vermont SC? Any advice?

Really desperate here. EAD expired, lost job...

Hi Everyone,

I have been waiting for this agony to end from 130+ days. My timeline and updates are as follows:

PD: Oct 24,2017

Center: Vermont

EAD: I-765, a new application

Raised 1 SR (90th days) and 1 Expedited SR(100th day): Both closed with a standard reply that they cannot commit to the timeline

Infopass appointment 1, Feb 23: Immigration officer confirmed that case was assigned to an officer on Feb 9, 2018, and raised expedite request to look into the case.

Request to Congressman: Received standard reply from USCIS that they are processing Sep 18 cases and will get to my case later on.

Raised Ombudsman Request, March 5: In progress

Infopass appointment 2, March 7: Immigration official confirmed that case was assigned to an officer on March 1, 2018 (Not sure what is going on)

I am not sure what security checks are carried on by USCIS, but I have stayed in Europe and South Africa for 2 years before coming to the US and my L1 blanket visa was denied last year. Has anyone else with the similar case has faced issue with I-765 approval?

Thanks in advance for any inputs.

Hi everybody,

Not to be a Debbie Downer again but I just got hit
with a RFE after waiting patiently for 7 months. I'm
devastated, I don't even know what type of evidence
they need. I'll have to wait to get it in the mail to find out.
I cannot believe this is happening,please can anyone
tell me if the clock gets reset after they receive the evidence?
It's a request for my I.485 so does it mean my EAD won't be issued
until that gets approved?
I didn't seek the help of Ombudsman in fear they might ask me
for one , still it didn't change anything. I did call many times due to being
eager to work and get out if this room my husband and I live in.
Today is my mother's 78 th birthday so it's been really hard.
Thank you for your help.
I hope none of you go through what I have to endure.
God puts us to test every day, if I didn't Jesus in my life, I would
not be able to cope.
Thank you dear fellows!
Good luck.

Took almost a week to got REf on hand by mail.
Send REF respond overnight through FEDEX 5-March-2018.. It was confirmed and Delivered at Morning.

I am awaiting for response that they received my Ref or not. I even called customer service , They are useless always read the guidelines without giving any suggestion.Please allow blah blah 60 days.. AS **** *

Hi all,

Wanted to share my timeline as I’ve finally received an update on my EAD renewal (Nebraska).

August 16th - receipt notice
January 15th - called customer service and spoke to an immigration officer who told me to be patient and that my card should be sent within a week.
February 2nd - raised SR for case outside of regular processing times
February 22nd - infopass appointment. The lady said she put in a priority request as the case was beyond processing times listed on the website (they were currently reviewing October application and mine had been filed in August). No updates on the website at all to show the request but she said I should hear back within two weeks.
February 26th - reached out to senator and congressman to ask for help with my case. No response (they might have contacted USCIS without letting me know though)
February 27th - reached out to ombudsman and asked for immediate assistance based on financial loss to company. They asked for evidence, which I sent straight away and was told they would review it and get back to me.
February 28th - ombudsman contacted USCIS about my case (they never got back to me about the evidence for priority request)
March 7th - USCIS responded to my SR from February 2nd “your card is currently under review and you will receive a response or other notice of action shortly”
March 8th - online status updated to “card being produced”

I have no idea which one of the steps I took helped in the end but I’m sure it’s something I’ve done in the past 2 weeks. My gut tells me it’s most likely the ombudsman. Regardless, I’m so relieved as my 180-day extension is ending on March 14th!

Hello lovely people!

I was wondering how to contact the onbudsman regarding my case. Is there an email or website to go?

MSC received mail from USCIS received my case FEB 2nd
Mailed me for bio March 2nd, March ** is my Appointment date for my bio
I’m married to USC, my attorney said it’s going to take 4-5 month to receive my EAD, I just want to know has anyone received theirs faster. I pray to receive my faster because I can’t wait no more. Have read a lot of experience but I have faith tho
