EAD (WorkPermit)
Fields marked as * are required.
EAD approved (C09)
Hi All,
My EAD was finally approved after 116 days
First of all, I wanted to thank everyone who share their experience with us. it definetely help me a lot with this process
I want to do my part and share my experience
A little background: I had an EAD based on OPT and I have job. My company was kind enough to let me take a leave of absence after my EAD expired, while I waited for my new EAD. I also got married (same sex if that helps) earlier in the year and I started my green card process in May.
Here’s my timeline:
May 4th_ USCIS received I485, I765 and I130
May 12th _ received all the receipts for my application.
May 15th_ received a letter with my biometric appointment
May 31st_ biometric appointment for I485 and I765
July 20th_ raised my first SR at 77 days through the phone
July 21st_ USCIS requested for RFIE for my I485 & I130 (RFIE resets your I765 processing time back to zero. I didn’t know this until recently. Also, the website at time said it was a RFE and not a RFEI as the letter stated, so watch out for that)
Aug 4th _ raised my second SR at 90 days and requested for my case to be expedited base on financial loss (possibly losing my job if I didn’t have my EAD card soon)
Aug 7th _ My 90 days SR was assigned to an officer and got response saying the following:
“Recently, you contacted us regarding your Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization. Your case is within our current processing time. Our systems show that we received your response to our Request For Evidence (RFE) on your Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status, on July 24, 2017. Your Form I-765 will be processed within 90 days of the receipt of the requested evidence.”
(Here’s when I realized my case was reset back to zero and when I started to freak out)
Aug 7th _ on the same day I got a response for my expedited request saying the following:
“Your case in currently under review. You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly”
Aug 11th_ received a response for first SR with the same response as above
Aug 12th_ contacted my local congresswomen for help, just in case
Aug 17th _ the office of the congresswomen informed me that my case was being expedited and under review by an officer.
August 22nd_ got scheduled for an interview for my I485. (I don’t know if this affected my i765)
Aug 30th_ card in production
This was definitely an ordeal. Never been so stressed and depressed and whatever other feelings you can think of.
I hope you find this helpful and please feel free to ask me anything that wasn't clear
GOOD LUCK AND HANG IN THERE!!
