EAD renewal for J-2
Hi Everyone,

I decided to share my experience with you all, since this forum was very helpful to me.

I am a J-2 visa holder, applying for a EAD renewal.

12/08/2017 Case sent to USCIS Dallas,

12/14/2017 Case received by USCIS Potomac
02/09/2018 Due to a change in my DS2019, I have sent a letter and a copy of my new form to USCIS, this was added to my case.
02/28/2018 Opened a service request
03/08/2018 scheduled an appointment at the closest USCIS office – Was informed to wait 30 more days for the case to be evaluated.
03/08/2018 opened a request with Ombudsman Office
03/09/3018 because I was about to loose my job ( my old EAD would expire on 03/14) I contacted both a congressman and a Federal Senator. Both opened requests for my case.
03/13/2018 case approved, card sent to production
03/15/2018 Card mailed
03/19/2018 Card received.

My case took around 92 days, but I would say that contacting the Congressman and the Senator was very helpful. I would also recommend signing up for the USCIS Myaccount (https://my.uscis.gov/account/).

Good luck to you all.
