EAD renewal
Hi All,

Reading your comments gives me hope and I get to keep my sanity. Thanks for sharing.

My timeline
Potomac Service Center
Aug 4, 2017 Day 1 - Case Received
Day 90 - 1st SR (online) - Pending Security Check
Day 120 - 2nd SR(phone) - Pending Security Check
Day 135 - 3rd SR(online) - Case assigned to Officer. Response in 30 days
Day 137 - Senator office Inquiry - Pending Security Check
Day 138 - L2 Officer call - Confirmed Case assigned to officer
Day 146 - Expedite request via phone for financial hardship - No result; told expedite is for getting officer assigned, my case already with officer.
Day 150 - Current EAD expired. Unable to work
Day 157 - Contacted Ombudsman for expedite, under review
Day 167 - Ombudsman reply that they have asked USCIS for response. More wait ?

30 days also have passed and still no update. Wonder how long will an officer take. Spoke to L2 again yesterday and he mentioned security checks delayed my case. I feel all this is just excuses and they gave security check reason in my case. After I submitted my case, I went to my home country and got visa stamped in 5 days. I hear they do the same security check at visa stamping. hmm..

Thinking about EAD is so stressful. Don't want to think about the shutdown either. My last EADs from vermont center came in 60 and 45 days. now 168 days and counting.
