I have not heard anything from the ombudsman office as of today. Based on your experience how long did you have to wait to hear from them saying they have sent an inquiry on your case?
 
Any Aug/Sept filers still out there waiting?

Today on my 157 days I received a mail from USCIS saying that my case is under review and I will receive a decision shortly. How many times will I have to wait again? Ohhh my God, I was excited when I saw the letter in mailbox, I thought it was my approval notice, danm it!
Uscis really wants to kill me...
Please your advice would help!

Current USCIS timeline for MSC as of today (oct.1 2017)

Hello All,

I had applied for my L2 EAD renewal on Dec 5th,20187 at Vermont center. So here my timeline -

The most recent actions taken so far -

Day 77th : 02/20/2018 - Raised Service Request with USCIS

Day 78th : 02/21/2018 - Status was "your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application was assigned to an officer for response.".

Day 79th : 02/22/2018 - Again the same status updated as "your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application was assigned to an officer for response."

Day 79th : 02/23/2018 - Reply from Ombudsman's office that they have reviewed my case and contacted USCIS regarding my application.

Day 83rd : 02/26/2018 - Response was mailed(which I didn't receive yet) and SR was completed.

Day 90th : 03/05/2018 - My Case status changed to "New Card is being produced" :)

I tried every possible thing in order to get my EAD at the earliest.I tried raising expedite request,reached Congressman,Ombudsman's office and called USCIS T2 Officers almost twice in every week. Out of which, I guess, Ombudsman's request made some difference in my case(I am not sure though as I did not receive any response from Ombudsman's office yet!). Overall this whole process was so frustrating! Calling USCIS representatives almost never worked for me ! Based on their current processing time, I was expecting my Card in April. But today I am so happy that it got changed on 90th day itself :) Hopefully, I will receive my card till next week..

Thanks and All the best to everyone :)

Hi Everyone,

I thought I would share my experience after having spent so many hours reading posts on this forum.

- Case Received - 6th Dec 2017
- Contacted Congressman (after having spoken to my lawyer) to expedite my case - 22nd Feb
- Congressman got back to me a few minutes after and was extremely helpful, I sent him my story alongside some documents and he contacted the USCIS Nebraska- 26th Feb
- New Card Being Produced - 5th March

Total - 89 days - Waiting for card to be delivered

If you have a good case - you can find a list of reasons to expedite your case online - I would strongly recommend getting in touch with your congressman because according to my lawyer and current delays for the Nebraska center, I was expecting to receive my EAD in May. It really made the difference.

Does anyone know how long does it currently take between New Card Being Produced and the receiving the actual card?

Thanks and Good Luck to everyone,

Dear All,

Can anyone help me on how to contact the Ombudsman? What is their website address or contact info?

Thanks!
