EAD (WorkPermit)

I filled for my EAD new card OPT on 5th october 2017.
Raised several service requests. got response saying its assigned to an officer and you will receive a decision within 30 days.
34 days over and still no response. Asked my DSO to mail USCIS on my behalf. got this reply.

"USCIS responded to say you case is currently in transit to an officer. Once with an officer, you’ll receive a decision or correspondence within 30 days."

What does this mean? Is my case getting transferred to a new officer? Any feedback would be great at this point. I am losing hope.

Hi all,
I'm a silent follower of this forum and this is so much helpful to share their experiences.
After 154 days of waiting my EAD got approved and they mailed the card yesterday.

I got an email and message regarding card mailing today mid night / early morning . Even I got mail and message when they sent RFE.

My L2 EAD timeline for new application.

PD : 25th Sept 2017
RFE 10th Jan 2018
sent response on 5th Feb 2018

Raised 1 SR yesterday ( 26 Feb) and SR has been completed the same day . ( they updated my account with this info).

Got email and message to mobile at 1:42am today tht card mailed to my address.

I didn't contacted ombudsmen , senator or congressman . Raised only 1 SR yesterday.
Good luck to all..

Hi,
Just want to share my experience so far and get replies.
A18 renewal. Received date 20th Oct at VSC. Current expiry date is 28th March.
SR1 29th Jan "In line for precessing"
SR2 22th Feb "We are still reviewing your case and will mail you a decision once made"

That would mean they were already reviewing my case when i raised 2nd SR. That is reassuring, but wow long it usually takes to receive card after such response?

I got my work card yesterday feeling relaxed now.. 190 days wait

Hi

Thanks to this group!! I received my EAD today. Raised 2 SR's and 1 expedite request but that was denied. Contacted Congressman/ Ombudsman and even no response from them. So don't know who helped me in this or it's just a usually processing time. But the status remains Case was received. So keep checking mail box often and don't lose hope. Your day is going to be any day soon!

Hi all,

Here's my EAD renewal timeline:

Receipt date: August 16th 2017
September 15th 2017: Received a letter stating I don't need to attend a biometrics appointment
First SR: Feb 3, 2018 - no response
Infopass appointment - Feb 26, 2018 (today) - officer sent an email asking to expedite my application since it is way after the regular processing times (she said they are currently processing October applications)

My question is- my case status doesn't show the expedite request yet. Is that normal? I'm also thinking of submitting a request with the ombudsman and NY senator today. My 180 days extension ends on March 14th and I am currently employed so won't be able to go back to work on the 15th unless I receive my card.

195 days an counting...

Just received an approval notice in mail. Online status still says "Case was received". Total time to approval 107 days.

I raised two SR's first via phone and second online. Second SR completed on Feb 12, generic response to that and approval date is Feb 21st.

Good luck to others! Hope you receive your EAD's soon.

Hi there,

EAD based on marriage with USC

PD Nov 29,2017
Biometrics Dec 26,2017
1st SR- Feb 12th - answer: As of February 13, 2018, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number T1B0441805825MSC, is currently not assigned for processing.

I would like to know when would be a reasonable time to request another SR.
currently waiting 89 days.

Thank you so much

Hi!
Today I received my first employment authorization card, I applied 10th Oct 2017 / L2/A18
Within this time I sent three status inquiries.
Since today no Case Staus Online changes on my USCIS account (still 'Case was received info'), it seems they do not provide any updates.

I'm so happy , I was losing any hope!
