For August 2017 Filers
After a long 6 months my EAD card is finally being approved. I thought I'd share my experience for anyone else that has been waiting for their EAD.
My i765 is dependent on i485 AOS. and was post dated August 7th 2017 at NBC.
October 2017: Raised first service request - no response
November 2017: Raised second service request - no response
December 2017: My original EAD expired... out of work as a result and employer is okay with waiting
First week of December 2017: Raised expedite request based on financial hardship/Company hardship. This was approved.
Second week of December 2017: Reached out to Senator/Congressman, they also asked to expedite my card, this was also approved.
January 12 2018: Reached out to USCIS Ombudsman (in my opinion this step helped the most)
January 19 2018: Received request for initial evidence on i485 sent (interim benefits are put on hold while USCIS awaits receipt of RFIE)
January 25 2018: Received RFIE
January 27 2018: RFIE sent FEDEX over night
January 29 2018: Senator follows up, and receives response that interim benefits are put on hold while awaiting RFIE on i485
February 1 2018: USCIS receives RFIE
February 16 2018: Ombudsman sends followup request to USCIS, since we received no answer from them.
February 20 2018: Finally received an updated saying card in production
All in all, using all the resources at your disposal will help the process in my opinion. Even though it has been over 6 months... I think if you reach out to your senator/ombudsman earlier than I did, they can resolve it quicker.
Good luck to the rest of you and all August filers.
