After a LONG wait!


I filed for the EAD 08/28/17
Notification they we're going to use past biometrics 09/15/17

Then I called, the day 75, and the day 90. Nothing happened so I created an inquiry

11/16/17 (Day 91) nothing happened.

I called again, talk to a level 2 officer, really nice person, told him about my concerns. He told me, there's nothing that anyone can do but wait. Time processing table is in the website, BUT, those times are estimates.

So I created another inquiry

12/27/18 (Day 121)

In January 1st. I checked the processing times tables, and EAD, showed 06/03, mine was 08/28, so I decided to stop giving that much attention to this. Checked occasionally (Once a week), and of course NOTHING.

01/13/18 (Day 138) I received a notification in my e-mail, that the first inquiry that I generated, was answered and assigned to an officer. But, it basically said: CASE UNDER REVIEW, Working On it.

I was afraid, didn't know what to expect, UNDER REVIEW? That sounds pretty bad. Whatever, I just continued my life.

Last week on Wednesday 01/31/18 (Day 156) I received on my E-mail, the notification saying "YOUR NEW CARD IS BEING PRODUCED"

and last Night, (02/02/18) (Day 158) Notification that it was Mailed to me.

Do they need to approve my husband's petition before granting
EAD? I just don't get it.

EAD card not received.
Hello everyone,

I had applied for my EAD card on the 10/10/2017. The date it was received was 12/12.

As of today, it has been 115 days since it has been received. I have still not got the EAD card. The status update shows that it has been approved on the 12th of January and it is being processed.

My OPT start date was 12/20/2017. i already have a job in hand but i cannot start working just because i haven't received my EAD card. I raised a couple of service requests but no positive results. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!
