Hi. For months I have been reading about others’ experiences on this forum. My EAD application was submitted last year, in March 2019. Still no update regarding my case. I’d like to ask if anyone has experienced a wait time like this before? Thanks.

150 Days and no update for EAD!
Hello guys,

I am on F1 Student visa and I applied for GC based on marriage to a USC, it has been 150 days since they received my application and EAD still saying "Case Was Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" I was wondering should I call USCIS or raise a service request? below is my timeline

PD: November 1st 2019
Text Notifications:November 14th 2019
Bio-metrics: December 5th 2019
Request of Evidence: January 27th 2020
USCIS Received Response: March 6th 2020
USCIS Updated I-485 on March 13th 2020 to "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview"
Since March 13th there is no update on the interview which will take a very long time because of what is going on but there is no update regarding the EAD as well.

I have an ead-stem extension but I want to switch my job to a company that is NOT E-Verified and I don't want to get out of status. Any help?

Thank you so much!

How are cases chosen / processed ?
Hi everybody,

My situation: J2 - EAD awaiting. Sent in response on RFE additional info request on February 12, waiting for 50 days now. USCIS wrote they would respond within 60 days. Filed in potomac service center on November 15 2019. Waiting for in total 150+ days.

My question: I see many cases being approved way earlier, even to RFE responses. I am wondering in general how this big of a time difference can happen?
Does anybody know?
Is it like they pick cases randomly? Do you think they will leave my case now to expire the 60 day deadline on purpose so I have to call them anyway about this, and they pick out easier cases to process?

Thank you for your help!

h4 ead I-765 approved but no card produced
H4 EAD was applied. Website shown 'case approved' more than 10 days ago, but status not changed to 'card produced/mailed' etc. Meanwhile I do see people approved on similar days got status change, and even ead card received.

Is it normal? Or shall I contact someone now?

Not sure if it has impact, but i do not need bio-metric fingerprint as my H4 status was applied via consular processing in Canada, not via domestic COS process. But i was told H4 EAD does not need bio-metric, so i suppose it shouldn't affect the EAD production?

timeline:
03/19/2020 - online status changed to 'case approved'
03/25/2020 - physical copy of I-765 approval notice received

thank you!!
