EAD (WorkPermit)

Hi everyone,
Finally today, after 205 days, my status has changed to CARD BEING PRODUCED.
Just wanted to share my experience since I know how frustrating is this long waiting process:

EAD/AP - NBC - Marriage based (c09)
Received date: 08/28/17
Biometrics: 09/25/17
First SR: 01/29/18 - Didn't hear anything back
Second SR (tier 2): 02/26/18 - Didn't hear anything back
Congressman: 03/07/18 - Didn't hear anything back
Ombudsman: 03/10/18 - I received an email on 03/14 explaining they contacted USCIS about my case and they would notify me regarding any updates from UCSIS.

CARD BEING PRODUCED: 03/21/18 (the status' changed only on the website: https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov . The other one still shows "Case was received").

Guys, I honestly don't think that any of the resources I mentioned above were helpful. The Ombudsman email seems very standard and I didn't get any update from them since the status has changed on the USCIS website.

I was very frustrated and anxious to receive these documents for many reasons, then on last week I decided to change my mindset and started picturing this f***ng cards arriving in my place, I stopped coming to this website to read the experiences (the bad ones were driving me nuts), I even filled out the Social Security form YESTERDAY, just to try to keep the positivity lol... it can sound silly, but I really believe that this was what helped me the most (but of course you also need to be realistic about your timeline).

Good luck to all of you and always remember to keep the positivity!

My Experience:

Filling Date: 23 Aug 2017 (EAD, Travel Doc, Adjustment of status, C9)
Bio-metrics: 20 September 2017
Request for initial evidence : 22 September 2017

Received evidence: 13 October 2017 (Days Start over)

1st Service Request: (EAD) 2 Jan 2018 (81 days)- No response
2nd SR: 5 Feb 2018 (115 Days)- No response
Expedite SR: 22 Feb 2018 (132 Days) - No response
 
Infopass Appointment: 14 March 2017 (152 Days) - Useless appointment

Sent in request to Ombudsman: 14 March 2018 (152 Days)
Received email from Ombudsman that they have contacted USCIS and will let me know what information they get from them: 21 March 2018 (159 Days)

I will update this experience when i get any more info.

Still hoping and praying!!!

Any November 1st to 30th 2017 filers here?

How’s it going with your cases? An update would be GREAT.

Mine is national benefit center (MSC) waiting for 120 Days

Contacted ombudsman and awaiting for response.

Hello, I applied for my first ead card in December and I received the receipt on December 09.
I'm F-1 visa status.
Is there anyone who already received an ead card from December filers?
I called them to ask how long it takes and my case was assigned for review. It turns out they haven't reviewed my case yet so they want me to wait more patiently.
I guess I can't wait patiently since I already blew my job offer as the card got delayed.
Does it take forever because it's my first time to get it? or The process usually takes this long?
I'm looking forward to hearing from you guys
Thanks!!

My PD is November 7
Biometrics Dec 4

Up to this day I have heard nothing. I raised 4 Sr none of which have been assigned to a officer. Yesterday I decided to call and was advised a service request would be put through for a tier 2 officer to contact me...I have not received a call as yet but the new referral number that he gave me T1D××××××××WKD, as of today shows assigned to officer

What does the prefix WKD stand.

do you guys know if the EAD/AP renewals take longer than inital EAD/AP applications? Or the other way around? or are they the same,? maybe it just depends when you submit we all just get in a line and wait regardless of if it it renewal or first time. But just curious about the timing. I am waiting on a renewal, trying to manage expectations.

Hi!

Does any one here applied in January for EAD Renewal?

After reading experiences in this forum I'm getting anxious about my EAD... I'm currently working and don't want to lose my job.

Hello everyone.
Another average joe here looking for answers. Has anybody who filed in November 22 or after received their work permit yet ? My Fingerprint appointment was on Dec 26 and in two days i.e 03.26.2018 it will be 90 days since then. I got the preliminary receipts that says we are processing this and that. Yet nothing more than that. I filed them after i married my wife who is a citizen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

220 days plus have passed since PD. Many SRs have been filed. I contacted ombudsman 2weeks ago and finally informs me that USCIS expedites my case today (March 20). They will notify their decision by the end of March. But I need EAD card by the end of March. Are there any ways to have them produce it by this coming weekend? How many days does USCIS need to notify their decision, since they were contacted by an Ombudsman? Sorry for this silly question.
