Card Received
Alright, I'm posting this as a PSA to everyone just in case you find yourself in this situation.

Timeline for EAD processed at NBC

PD - 3/19/2019
Painful silence on case
SR- 8/18
Card Being Produced - 8/26
Card Mailed - 8/29
Card picked up by USPS and tracking # given - 8/30

Here's where the story gets funky. 8/31 (a Saturday) the card was attempted to be delivered at a location that wasn't my address, but ultimately it was unable to be delivered. USPS said it would try again on the next business day.

Card "Delivered" - 9/3

The tracking info said that it was delivered to Washington DC, (Zip Code that is not mine). There was no street address listed, just the city, state and zip. With the Zip not matching our address, I began to think that the card was delivered to a USPS location and that my husband would need to go pick it up.

I tried calling the USPS location in that Zip Code...no answer. Tried calling customer service...nothing resulted from this besides frustration and tears.

I went to a USPS location and gave them the tracking number and asked that they tell me the address it was delivered to and that I would go pick it up. I kept getting the run around that it wasn't at the USPS location for the zip code I gave them, and they didn't have the street address that it was delivered to, they had no more information that I did etc.

So I'm standing at USPS nearly in tears, voice shaking, mind racing thinking that it's gonna be loaded back on a truck and sent back to USCIS...thinking that my Husband is gonna have to wait even longer for the card and continue to be unable to work

...Then it dawns on me to contact our Attorney's office...I look up their phone number, and when I do, I see that the Zip Code listed for their office is the same zip code that the card said it was delivered to.

Get the attorney on the phone and I'm informed that they have it and we can come pick it up anytime.

Key points to this story

1. If your card says it's delivered and you don't have it....contact your attorney

2. Don't waste your time trying to call USPS customer service...it's just an automated machine that gives you ZERO information...better to go to a physical location

3. Feel your feelings. Let yourself be stressed, frustrated, irate, jealous, cheated, exhausted etc. You need to experience all of those things to be able to properly feel the euphoria of seeing your card (or your significant other's) in your hand.

Good luck to everyone! And in case somehow the US Postal worker that I made a scene in front of is reading this... I'm sorry lol
