Waiting for EAD, Can anyone comment how much time it will take and any philadelphia filers here give their time line please.

Let me preface by saying that the reason I got my renewed EAD in hand today is due to this group. When my lawyer was unhelpful and it had been over 6 months since I filed my EAD application, I took matters in my own hands, followed the tips on this blog and got my EAD renewed. SO THANK YOU SO MUCH TO EVERYONE who shared their experiences, tips and timelines here. You are helping a lot of people by doing so :)

Details:
EAD type: C-09 renewal, NBC Center.
Priority date 8/15/17
First SR: 12/25/2017, response on 12/28/17 citing that I refer to the 180 day EAD extension
2nd SR: 2/15/18: generic response that there are no updates
3rd SR: 3/1/18: again generic response via email after few days
3/15/18: Called helpline transferred to L2 officer said he will generate an inquiry and I will get a response in few days. A week later same generic response again that there are no updates on my case
3/15/18: Also contacted Ombudsman, Senator & Congressman in one day and also booked INFOPASS for 4/10/18 (heard back from Ombudsman after a week citing they have my application and have asked USCIS for a response)
4th SR: 3/24/18: No response
3/30/18: Called USCIS helpline again, spoke to L2 officer who said he will submit an expedite request on my behalf
4/3/18: Wohla!! I got an update on the new DHS site that the case has been approved along with my request for expedite
4//5/18: Update Card is being produced
4/6/18: Card has been mailed
4/9/18: Card is received in my hand :)

I now have a INFOPASS appointment that I am canceling and also reaching out to the Ombudsman, and Senator to let them know I am all set.

hell evrerbody,

After 120 days my cas status say 'case was approved. (EAD) ,after how long will i receive my EAD card .some say i take 2 months ,Man this is killing me ,Anyone knows!!

After 3rd service request i seen on the uscis app today is says

On April 9, 2018, we sent a response to your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application, referral number SR1080 **** ****
Does this mean they made a decision also if so how long will it take until i find out? Today is 175 days pd is oct 16 c(9) nbc service center made inquiry with ombudsman on 3/3 also hoping and praying for answers soon

Case filed on dec 22 2017
Biometrics done Jan 21 2018
Case inquiry done on March 2 without any response
Congressman contacted April 2
Expedite request by congressman done on April 3

Still no update, no updates on USCIS website

Any suggestions ?

I know that the processing times for EAD for NBC / MSC is 2.5 - 5 months according to the website.

However my question is: have anyone got EAD in 2.5 - 3 months? It looks like NBC is working very slow lately, and I wonder how accurate that range is.

Hey guys, long time silent reader. I wanted to share my experience with my EAD application.

MSC
Filed- Dec 8
Processed App- Dec 18
Bio- Jan 9
Notice of Action on Case- April 6 (We are producing your card and will be mailing to you)

120 Days since I filed my case to receive any notice. I did NOT contact ombudsman, senator or congressman/woman. I only called once around February to see where the status of my case was and that was about it. I was told repeatedly by my lawyer to not call. Especially when you’re within normal processing time (from my understanding it doesn’t look for you if you’re constantly calling them before the end of the normal timeline), which is 4-6 months now according to my lawyer. Calling does nothing. Hang in there guys! I counted my blessings because I’ve seen so many people on here that have been waiting 7+ months. It looks like a lot of Nov-Dec filers are moving quicker than others. I was out of job for almost 4 months now. I thankfully have a supporting husband. I had one job on hold and another recent job offer. Things will get better for you from this point! Prayers to you guys!
