Vermot Service Center- L2 EAD experience
I was following this forum since I filed my EAD. This has been a traumatic experience but all went well at the end, I felt like this forum is keeping me alive. therefore, thanks to everyone who kept us updated. here is my timeline-
Vermont Service Center
Category: L2 EAD (Renewal)
Aug 15th: USCIS Received Date
I filled to Dallas center but my application was routed to Vermont. I filled based on receipt notice of L2 Extension. I did not have L2 approved by the time I filled. Though next week to filling date I got L2 approval notice.
Oct 21st: Current EAD Expired. Went on leave without pay starting 20th Oct.
Called USCIS call centers 23rd (I believe) they were not of any help. They advised to wait for 75 days.
Oct 25th : Visited USCIS local office. They said not much help they can do here, but updated that, your case was assigned to an office a day ago.
Oct 30th: Raised first SR (Online)
Nov 3rd: Called USCIS again and this time requested to speak to level 2 officer. Level 2 officer called back, I explained my situation. Officer suggested to expedite the case, also raised Expedite request for me.
Nov 6th: Response of first SR sent via regular mail (don’t have yet). Also, received email response of my Expedite request. Which was denied saying “Request does not qualify criteria of special handling and that this application will be processed within normal processing time”
Nov 8th: Visited Local USCIS office again, as response above worried me. They were of no help and scared us that normal processing now-a-days are 4-5 months and because of backlog your request was denied.
Nov 9th: Status changed to “New card is being produced” at around 11:30 am EST. (I have registered online with USCIS to get automatic updates)
Total: 87 days
Hope this helps to individuals facing similar situations on this forum. What I think is that SR’s are the key here. Keep checking all the options you have. All the best!
