After 93 days - just received EAD and AP approval

[killabee]

I'm so happy! I just got texts and emails saying my EAD and AP application have been approved. It's only the 93rd day after they received my application - I had expected it to take longer. I'm glad to see USCIS is still working, and maybe even faster than normal now!

I'm still waiting on I-140 approval, but fingers crossed that will come through soonish. I filed in December 2019.

Keep the faith folks! Thanks to everyone on this forum who has posted their experiences. Has been very useful.

Thanks and wishing you all the best!

Hi there, may I ask what your timeline was like? When did you do the biometrics and how soon after the biometrics did you receive the approval?

I don't want to be a crusher of hope or to be pessimistic but for you to file on August 10, 2020, and expect to receive your EAD before October 1, 2020, is over-ambitious. Unless there are extenuating circumstances to your case, I genuinely don't see that happening. I am sorry but I thought I should let you know.

@aph,
Thank you for the heads up.
Submitted with expedited request together with evidence why... so keeping my fingers crossed.
Keeping positive and hopeful whoever my case officer will be will act fast and approve it or else I will be separated from my company that I worked for for 25years.

[aph]

I pray you get it cos that last thing I wish is for you to be separated from your company of 25years.

All the Best! Let us know how it goes.

Congrats! Same thing happened with me! Seattle filer here! I got my EAD combo card after 3 months (Oct 2019 to Jan 14, 2020) and I've just filed for renewal 2 weeks ago.

Anyone knows anything about the 180-day extension? Is it automatic upon submission and receipt of renewal package?

Your NOA will have all the information about the 180-day extension on the last paragraph with bullet points. Basically, if you qualify for extension (C09), you sent your renewal before your current EAD expired, you received the NOA and your current EAD expires without receiving a new one, your expired EAD and the NOA extends up to 180 days your expired card.

I found this information in the NOA and I qualify for the automatic extension. Thank you! Appreciate it!

Hi! I am eligible for automatic extension (c9) but I don’t know how I can apply to it, do I need to fill a form?
