My Experience to get the EAD L2 Dependent
Before applied for EAD my main issue in my Visa, as my Last name was FNU in my I94 & Visa.

In my passport my surname was blank & due to this i have to apply for split name with new passport & after i got the new passport & then i have to reenter to US to get the new I94 for correct first name & Last name.

Finally able to apply my DMV & got my driving ,License.

19th Nov 2016:- Applied EAD via normal post.
2nd Dec 2016: After long wait got the update that USCIS Acceptance Confirmation & acceptance date was 25th Nov 2016.

After this there is a long wait & finally i was worried when the status will as till 74th day the status was "Case was received".

9th Feb 2017: I was about to raise a service request to get the status, but when checked the status it was updated with new status "New Card is being Produced" A big relief.

13th Feb 2017: New start update, card was mailed to You".

Waiting for card to get in hand.

Only one thing i will suggest, be Patience & wait till 75 days & till that no update , start the follow up.

I will update in my Blog what all issue & challenges i faced to fix my surname blank/ split name in my passport & update soon with link.

EAD Exceeded Normal Processing Time
I am adjusting status due to marriage to a US Citizen. Today is 90th day from the date my Application was received at USCIS (which is also my Priority Date), and I am yet to receive my EAD.

Here is my timeline:

Day 00: Nov 11, 2016 -- Attorney mailed out my complete application (I-485, I-130, I-131 and I-765).
Day 01: Nov 14, 2016 -- Received Date at USCIS (also my Priority date for I-485 and I-130).
Day 16: Nov 29, 2016 -- Notice date for I-485, I-130, I-131 and I-765 (Mail received 12/01/2016).
Day 26: Dec 09, 2016 -- Notice date to capture Biometrics (Mail received 12/12/2016).
Day 47: Dec 30, 2016 -- Biometrics taken at the Houston Application Support Center.
Day 78: Jan 30, 2017 -- Raised Service Request (for "Approaching Regulatory Time Frame').
Day 85: Feb 06, 2017 -- Received USCIS response that Case is "within current processing time".
Day 89: Feb 10, 2017 -- Reached out to Congressman to expedite Case with USCIS.

WAITING... WAITING...

A bit more information -- My Case is currently being processed by the National Benefits Center (NBC) in Lee's Summit, Missouri. All Application/Petition numbers begin with "MSC179026 YYYY ". Here is the current status of my Cases online as of 2/11/2017.

I-485: "Finger Fee Was Received" (Change date: Dec 05, 2016)
I-765: "Case Was Received" (Change date: Dec 05, 2016)
I-130: "Case Was Received" (Change date: Dec 05, 2016)
I-131: "Case Was Received" (Change date: Dec 05, 2016)

Out of curiosity, I have actually been also checking the status of many Case Numbers close to mine, MSC179026 YYYY , and all appears to be similar -- Priority dates of Nov 14, 2016, with I-765 status of "Case Was Received" , although there are a few of them with a "Card Being Processed" or "Card Mail" status.

I hope this information helps someone with similar timeframes. I will update this thread if anything changes. Please share you thoughts.

I've lost over 5 Job offers already because of this EAD delay. I have 2 others willing to wait at this point. I hope they are patient enough till I receive my Card because I'm beginning to run out of excuses. Wish you all good luck :)

EAD applied late - start date is passed
Here's my situation -
* Graduated in Dec 2016
* Sent packets to USCIS in Dec 2016
* Requested start date is Jan 23rd

My doubts are -
* Will the start date be changed to later date? If so what's the latest date they can give?
* By the time I get my EAD it will be in March and will I lose some of my 12 months OPT period?
* Has my clock already started ticking since Jan 23rd? If so, then I will lose 60 days of unemployment period.
* Since EAD will arrive in March, will I be in good status (legally) until I receive it?

Would highly appreciate sharing your thoughts. Thank you.

EAD taking way too long
I am now on my 88th day from the 90 days period.

11/14/16 They received my applications (I-130 I-485 I-765)
12/19/16 Biometric appointment done.
01/30/16 Raised an Inquiry on the 75th day.
 Right now it says that the inquiry was assigned to an officer for response. No response up until now, though.

Technically today is the last day they have to change the status because my 90th day falls on the next Sunday and I know they don't work on weekends.
I don't know what else to do.

This is so frustrating because we pay the obnoxious amount of money for those forms, and they don't even have the decency of following the schedule they set themselves.
