Positive Experience J2 EAD Renewal
Putting up my positive experience to hopefully give hope to those applying and hopefully encouragement to those checking USCIS multiple times daily like I was for an update!
I'm a J2 EAD renewal at the WAC center:
June 26th - Posted Application
June 29th - USCIS received notice via txt I think or a day or two later. This is the day they got my application though.
*received my letter probably 3-5 days after I got the text (can't remember exactly)
September 7th - Card ordered
September 8th - Case Approved
September 12th - Letter received
September 13th - Card received
Last year as a J1 EAD applicant at WAC I was super lucky and got it in 45 days from date I sent application. I was hopeful it would be the same or less this year as a renewal but I think the system was flooded by H4 applicants (who I'm super happy for) so it took longer. Only thing was I was over two months off work as sadly I couldn't apply early enough to prevent this lapse as we were waiting on my husband to get a job confirmed so we could get new DS2019s so that I could apply for renewal. Frustrating but I know I'm still very lucky to a) be able to work and b) get approval under 90 days so I'm not complaining it is just always a frustrating process when you want to be working. But thanks to WAC center for getting me processed under 90 days as I'm excited to get back to work!
Good luck everyone else waiting!
