EAD (WorkPermit)

Hi morning everyone,

I had a dream last night that my i-765 and I-131 got approved. Woke up around 7:30 to check my status, nothing changed. Checked around 9 in the morning, my I-765 status changed to “ new card is being produced” after 132 days, about 4.5 months. My I-131 status remains the same “ case was received”.

I am not that excited about I-765 because I really want my AP get approved, I really need to go back to my home country to visit my grandma. i am not sure if I will get a combo card or just my EAD card.

I saw some people said even they only got I-765 approved, but they still received combo card. But there’s people also said they only got EAD, no AP. Also, people are saying when receive EAD, it will state AP is approved on the card. I am really confused and desperate want to get my AP. Could you guys please share your thoughts? Anyone had similar situation?

I need to book my flight back to my home country soon since my school will start next month. Do you guys think I will get a combo card or just EAD?

I also want to share my experience since you guys posts also helped me so much. I want to let everyone know that you are not alone, we are in this fight together, keep your head high!!

My timeline:

Category c9 , married to USC, I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765 filed together to Chicago lockbox.

Married: 8-05-2017
PD: 3-16-2018
BIO: 4-16-2018
I-485 status changed to “case is ready to be scheduled for an interview” on April 18th, 2018.
I-765 status changed to “new card is being produced” today (132 days total)
I-131 status “case was received” (132 days total )

I submitted e-notification form, but never received any messages or emails. Signed up for USCIS my account through that dhs website, all case status still the same “we received your case” based on my experience, I can’t say that the website is accurate.

I didn’t expedite my case. Went to info pass because I need my AP, it was useless. Called L2 officer twice about my AP, they didn’t help at all. Last time I called was last week, she told me the same answer I saw on the website, “your case is within normally processing time, you need to wait, you have a long way to go, you have to wait most likely 3 months “ I was pretty pissed after that phone call, honestly, if you guys gonna give me the same answer that I can check online by myself, what’s the point of having this customer service line? Aren’t you guys wasting your time and people’s time? I think they know as much as we do. But again, that’s from my experience, I saw other people said L2 officers helped them. So I can’t say all L2 officers are the same.

Anyhow, if you have similar experience, please give me some advise, anything would be greatly appreciated! I hope everything goes well with everyone, and wish you guys all the best!

I will update my case once my case has update.

GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
