Back to work!
Hi Everyone!
I finally received my EAD card, and was able to resume work this week. This was a crazy stressful period, but I am so thankful for this forum and the unconditional support from my family and employer.
Timeline:
May 28, 2019: I-765 and I-131 filed
Nov 21, 2019: Outside normal processing time. Requested a case status inquiry.
Nov 22, 2019- December 6th, 2019: Travelled outside the country. Received an RFE for on our I-131. We (our lawyer) responded to the RFE on Jan 24 requesting withdrawal from I-131, stating we will be refiling at a later date.
Nov 27, 2019: Response to case status inquiry, asked us to wait for 60 days.
Jan 27, 2020: No update on case status inquiry after 60 days. Talked to USCIS Tier 2 officer, but no luck there. Requested ANOTHER case status inquiry.
Jan 27, 2020: Reached out my local congresswoman's office. Filled the privacy release form.
Jan 31, 2020: Last day of work :(
Feb 5, 2020: Follow-up with congresswoman office
Feb 10, 2020: Response from congresswoman office stating that a USCIS is looking at my case and I should expect a response in 10-14 days.
Feb 13, 2020: Received the following response on the 2nd case status inquiry: "U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) records show that your case is currently pending adjudication. However, we have had to perform additional reviews on your case, and this has caused a longer processing time."
Feb 14, 2020: The day of updates! I-131 case status changed to 'case denied'. This was expected as we requested a withdrawal and refiling. Same day the I-765 status changed to approved and that the card is being produced.
Feb 18- Feb 20: Received the I-765 Approval Notice, I-131 Denial Notice.
Feb 22, 2020: Received the EAD card
Feb 25, 2020: BACK TO WORK !
Jan 31st- Feb 25th: Lots of netflix, naps, snacking and home projects. I was extremely stressed until my last working day- no sleep, not eating well etc. But, after that I decided there is no point in wasting my time crying and brooding over this, and might as well make use of the free time I have.
I definitely think this was a combination of timing and congresswoman's input(the office was great with communication with USCIS and response to follow-ups).
Good luck to everyone! Eventhough this process is so stressful and annoying, it all works out in the end.
