EAD (WorkPermit)

Hi All,

I have been a silent visitor in this forum for a while. This forum provide me with plenty of information which I appreciate very much! Here, I would like to share some of my EAD card experience and hope this piece of information can help some of you.

I am a EB2 applicant
Service center: Texas Service Center
03/22/2018 Submitted I-140, I-485, I-765, I-131 (Paid $1225 for I-140 premium process)
05/04/2018 Went to USCIS local office to request EAD expedite. However, no use. They told me that my case is still at Texas Service Center and they can’t help me locally.
05/04/2018 Called USCIS and spoke to level 1 officer for EAD expedite. They said they will call/email me back if they need further information
05/07/2018 Received an email from USCIS asking for further document for review.
05/07/2018 Same day email replied to USCIS including I-140 approval letter and a letter with EAD card expedite
05/11/2018 Received a notification indicating “We ordered your new card”. Super excited!!!
05/14/2018 Received another notification indicating “We received your correspondence for Form I-765 and your case is being review” Feel confused as I though they already approved my case? Not sure if this is because on the same date they transferred my other filed case to another service center…
05/15/2018 4pm ETS Called USCIS again and scheduled a call back
05/15/2018 6:30pm ETS received a call back from USCIS (They did call back!) She said my case was approved
05/17/2018 Received another notification indicating “Card was mailed to me” (Thanks God!)

I didn’t ask for Congressman’s or Senator’s help, part of the reason is I don’t know how to and I am not so sure if they will care about my case. However, I do think USCIS calling number is useful! And I pray every day!I hope this piece of information can provide some hope to those who are still waiting for their card! Whoever you are, I hope you could receive your EAD card asap! God blessing

Blessing,

CY
