Your green card starts counting on the day it's approved. Not even on the day of your interview  

Unless you get approved on the spot which was our case.

For those who have already received their EAD in hand, how was it packaged? In a USPS Priority Mail envelope or the normal USCIS envelope? Were you able to track it via the USPS Informed Dilevery daily digest of mails coming to you? I see three mails from USCIS but I’m expecting just two approval letters from my EAD and AP. I don’t know about the third envelope though all three envelopes are of the same size.

Cards (Green and Combo) are sent via USPS Priority Mail, so it's a slightly bigger envelope, and it shows in the packages section on Informed Delivery. You should get track information for that one via MyUscis... though we all know that doesn't always work for everyone.

Hopefully that third envelope is a nice surprise, like an appointment for your GC interview. Who knows with USCIS

Google Congressman or Senator with your zip code and you should be able to find their name and then search for their web site

Thank you so much. I just got a letter today that my spouse EAD has been approved on the 27th of June 2018..Does anyone know when he would receive the card from the date of approval?

The delivery of your spouse’s depends mostly on where you guys live here. My EAD/ AP were also approved on June 27th but I’m yet to receive my combo card but I’m sure to receive it on July 05th. I think you may receive yours by Friday July 6th latest.

Usually between 5 and 10 days for you to receive it. July 4th may slow things down. Take it into consideration 

Congrats on the approval

Hi everyone! We had our AOS interview on June 26. The officer was probably new to this job because there was a supervisor present. He just went over the form with me and my daughter (14 y.o.), she got fewer ''terrorist" questions though. My son (11 y.o.) was just asked his name and address. My husband got only one questions that he had absolutely no clue about - my parents' names He is terrible with names! The officer didn't even look at supporting evidence, he only took the kids' copies of vaccination reports, and my new form I-693 that says that I can't complete vaccinations due to pregnancy. He was not sure if the kids' ones were complete (in spite of them being marked as "Complete"), so he said he would double check and make a decision later. On July 3 I got an email that the case is still being reviewed and there are no updates - and several hours later there were 3 approval notices in the mail!!! Yay!!! 

Today the status changed from "My interview was scheduled" to "My card was picked up by USCIS",  nothing about being approved.

So, the electronic notifications seem to be not very reliable...

Hi everyone, is there any EAD expedite process I could refer? I got a job offer and wondering what’s the next step I should do for expediting my EAD.

Call USCIS via this number:‭ 800 375-5283‬, ask that your case be expedited under severe financial lost to a company or person with your  job offer as the main supporting evidence. You could also include a negative bank account if you have one. USCIS will create a service request for your case and give you the referral number while asking you to wait between 5 to 30 days for your request to be processed. If the result of the processing isn’t favorable to you, book a infopass and possibly consider seeking assistance from your local congressman or senator. Hope I’ve answered your question in some way but the best SR you can put is out of processing time if you’re an early January filer
