EAD with AP (c)9 timeline
This forum has been so helpful for me, thought I would share my timeline and message of hope for folks:

Marriage-based AOS, Filed I-765, I-131, I-485, I-130 concurrently.
Receipt at MSC: September 11
Fingerprint appointment: October 3
Filed SR online: November 27
Obtained combo card in the mail during the holiday break, sometime between December 22 and 29.

Note: My case status online was never updated, it still says my SR is not assigned for processing. I never got a notification for "case approved" or "card being produced" or anything like that. I only had the nice surprise of getting the card in the mail.

Interestingly, my AP was approved even though I had traveled abroad after time of filing (on H1B status) - so they did not adhere strictly to the rule.

Emergency Advance Parole
Hi Guys.
Just an update i went to the philippines last december 5 till the 27th with emergency advance parole (attended my mothers funeral)
Just a suggestion if anyone of you wants to travel with the advance parole use it theres no harm at all. It only took me 10 minutes at the immigration office because my parole needs to be verify and passport needs to be stamped.

Package received : nov 2
PD : Nov 3

Called USCIS service center - asked L1 to transfer to L2 - He was very nice person. Told me that your I-765/I-131 were sent for Background check on 12/22/17.

 Did any one go through same experience?

The Average Waiting Time for EAD is 6 Months. GC is 1 year.
Hi guys,

After 2 hours waiting a callback, finally this nice level 2 USCIS agent told me that the average waiting time is 6 months for an EAD to get approved. He told me all kinds of immigration application is VERY backlogged now. GC average waiting time is 1 year. It DOES help to make an appointment with your local USCIS office! (especially you have a job offer in hand!)

So you all hang tight there and be strong! We left NOBODY behind.

Update!
Filled October 19, 2017
Receieved by USCIS: Oct 24, 2017
BIOmetrics: Nov 21, 2017
RFIE: Nov 22, 2017 (I think)
RFIE sent : Nov 29, 2017
.

Today is 65 days since I filled AOS and EAD. I was really losing hope as I missed a job offer. Today, I was following this forum as usual of new experiences. Again Today, I received mail from USCIS, Approval Notice of EAD saying on the letter :

"...We have approved your application for employment authorization. We will send your EAD to you separately...."

Thanks God! ... I didn't receive it yet but I don't think it will last a month to get the EAD, right? Any experience. God help you guys!

EAD Experience
I submitted i-140, i-765, i-131, i-485 concurrently early in June 2017. Nebraska Service Center.

For today: EAD/AP is pending. I-140 is approved (Premium Processing). Did a SR late in October and got a response to wait a 60 days more. Called Tier 2 support today, they said that call us next week if there is no progress.

Losing a hope. Does anyone still waiting for EAD/AP from June?

EAD experience
Hello everyone,

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

As of today, It has been 77 days since it has been received. I have still not got the EAD card.

After making a couple of inquiries regarding the same they ask me to just wait. 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 the EAD card. Any suggestions on how i can speed up the process? Also, is there a way I can start working legally asap despite of getting the EAD card?

Any other suggestions are welcome! Thanks in advance!
