J2 - EAD Applicant
Hey Everyone! :)

I have been following this forum for a while now and it has helped me keep the faith during my EAD process.

My EAD was approved today, October 22, 2018 and I could not be happier!!

It took a total of 105 days for my EAD to be approved.

I just wanted to provide some information on my EAD experience, in hopes that it could help others in the same situation.

I am a Canadian citizen on a J2 visa in the U.S.

I filed my application at the Potomac Service Centre.

No biometrics/ interview required.

No expedite/ SR sent. Did not call USCIS service centre at all.

July 9, 2018- Case was Received
October 22, 2018- New Card is in Production

As a side note, you are ALLOWED to travel back to Canada while your EAD is pending! You must have a travel validated DS-2019 to re-enter the U.S. Traveling back to Canada while your EAD is pending will have NO impact on your application.

As mentioned previously on this forum, the USCIS Case Tracker App is a really great tool! This app allows you to track the status of your case and where it is in relation to cases filed around the same time. My case was approved in numerical order.

For those of you who are in the same situation, please feel free to reply to this post if you have any questions! :)

Good luck and trust the process!
