My AP and EAD got approved on the same day, I got my EAD but not my AP, they said they would mail my AP separately, until now and it has been more than 70 days since the approval, I have not got the AP yet and my status online still says ''case approved''.

I went to an appointment a month ago and they said they would mail it to me, nothing received!! i called many times and each time i hear something different, the last one told me that she would make an inquiry to make another card for me, the other one told me that they made a mistake and they already sent me one without changing the status online, but i still did not get anything...... I am frustrated!

My AOS still says that my case is ready to be scheduled for an interview, and it has been like this for over 70 days as well ,and when i called and asked they told me that they just started working on applications that were filed in May, and mine was in September so i still have 4 to 5 months to wait, while others who filed after me got they GC in hand already, why mine is different?

I dont understand what is going on with my application.

Any ideas?

The EAD and AP is a combo card, you don't get two, you get only one so I really don't understand what you are saying about them wanting to

send another card.

Your EAD card does not state "Serves as I-512 Advance Parole" on it? If not, was there some reason you did not receive an EAD/AP combo card, such as applying for the AP after the EAD and not at the same time?

As for wait time, different USCIS offices have more backlog than others, so it can take longer in some places to get an interview scheduled.

If you need to travel abroad, make an infopass appointment and your I-131 approval notice. Let them know you have been having issues receiving the actual AP document and need one to travel.

I did not understand why they did not issue me a combo card even though i applied on the same day for both the applications, they said they would separate them, so i already got my EAD that says it is not valid for US re-entry, now still waiting for the separated AP that was approved a long time ago.

My EAD states that it is NOT valid for US re-entry. and I applied on the same day and sent everything in the same folder.

I had an infopass appointment and they said that they would mail it to me, that was last month and I am still waiting. the status online still says '' Case approved''. so they have not sent anything yet nor produced a card. why? God Knows! everytime i call i hear something different

Thanks for clarifying, it is definitely high time for involving your senator/congressman with assistance.
