Update Guys S.R was completed a few hrs ago. I received an email stating the following.

The status of this service request is:

Your case is currently under review.  You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly

Based on what happened to my SR, my EAD case status changed to "New Card is Being Produced" 3 days after I received that kind of response. Hopefully, yours will follow the same pattern. 🙂

Hey guys,

 

Here is my timeline : 

 

4/10/17 -- Received by USCIS.

4/13/17 -- N0A1 Date

5/04/17 -- Biometrics appointment in Philly

6/29/17 -- Raised service request

7/14/17 -- Answer " Your case is currently under review.  You should receive a decision or notice of other action shortly."

7/31/17 -- Raised a second service request

8/01/17 -- Just found out my case was assigned to an officer  

 

It's been 114 days today  - I really hope to get some answer anytime soon.

 

Congrats to all of the people who received their EAD/AP combo card. This definitely gives hope to all of us who are still waiting....

Hi A+S - We have pretty much the same timeline (2-3 days difference) including the 2 SR.

 

I called USCIS yesterday and the customer service rep reminded me the process can take up to 120 days - so I'm hoping to hear good news by next week since next week I will reach 120 days and you will too. I know this situation is so stressful but I think we can say that we are finally almost done waiting for the EAD.

 

Hopefully next week is THE week!

Hi April filers

Great to see so many of us are getting responses finally! I have a question for those who put in requests for EAD and got approved. Did you get notifications for the AP as well? And did you get the EAD/AP combo card or just an EAD card?

Thanks!

Hello,

I am from Seattle. I have been following you all for quite some time and now decided to share my timeline and issues in my case processing as I feel like i am going to go insane soon haha. The matter is that i have not even received my biometrics appointment notice since filing on April 27, 2017. 

 

04/27/2017 Priority Date, USCIS received the concurrently filed I485, I130 and I765 (Chicago lockbox)

05/18/2017 RFE (I130a supplemental form was missing)

05/26/2017 RFE response received by USCIS in Lee's Summit 

07/11/2017 SR#1 raised via Tier 1 representative (biometrics notice that i have not received)

07/12/2017 SR#1 assigned to an officer for response (response due 07/28/2017) 

07/28/2017 SR#1 assigned to an officer again!!! (they basically extended their response due date)

08/08/2017 INFOPASS scheduled at Seattle APC

 

I called the Tier 2 officers and they assure me the case is being worked on, but its so overdue. Day 97 and still no biometrics notice, no response to RFE or anything at all. I read some people have also had issues with biometrics but i am wondering if anyone can give me any more information. I wanted to request to expedite my case but am worried it can jeopardize everything.

What would an expedite request jeopardize? If anything, you'd get your EAD/AP card faster.

I have no job offer, only a serious financial hardship due to spent savings, low credit card money, and the need to get a car. So i am worried to get RFE if i try to expedite. Or what if USCIS later uses it against my spouse's ability to financially support me? 

 

Does anyone know, if i try to expedite, which category should i choose in my case when speaking to a rep on the phone? 

 

Thank you.

Hi! I received my EAD/AP combo card yesterday, but my AP status is still showing as "Case Was Received." It is not uncommon for the AP's status to be stuck.

Thank you.

Having a job offer in hand is the only reason to expedite EAD. You can also provide financial hardship documents but you definitely need a job offer.
