hmm thank you! When you check your status on the USCIS website, does it say that the card was delivered to you? or does it still say that the card was mailed to me?

 

Thank you for all your help!

it only shows "Card was mailed to me" on both egov.uscis.gov and my.uscis.gov. so your card must be somewhere in the post. Give it a couple more days and call USCIS that you think your card is missing in the post, they should be able to find a way to track it or send you tracking info.

Hi guys! I'm living in Brooklyn, NY now. Still waiting for my EAD/AP.  Longest waiting time ever! 

 

2/23 immigrated to NYC

3/30 got married

4/20 sent my application package I-485 I-131 I-765

4/27 case was received by USCIS 

5/01 NOA1 received

5/04 NOA2 received (for biometrics appointment)

5/24 biometrics appointment

7/17 "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" I-485

 

Although my I-485 case status has changed to "Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview" but until today 8/27 there hasn't been any further update on my I-131 (AP) and I-765 (EAD) case, which is still pending at "Case Was Received, on April 27".

 

Is there anyone here with the same situation as mine? Starting to feel worried now. :((((((

 

 

I feel you. Trying to be sane and patient with the long wait..

 

4/19  NOA1 received

5/17  Bio appointment

5/21  Case is Ready to Be Scheduled for An Interview

6/27 1-485 Changed to Fingerprint Review Was Completed

 

No more update with EAD & AOS

waiting..

 

I think I'll try expediting my EAD.

In NJ they used the NOA1 that was issued for the I-485 to issue the license for 6 months. I was told it would be a 1 year license but was tired from 8 hours at MVC and didn't pursue it any further. 

 

So in NJ (at the one particular office I found) they did not mind the K-1 date, just that we had proof we filed the AOS. 

 

 

That's interesting. The DMV in NY explicitly told me that they wouldn't take "open-ended" immigration proofs, like my NOA1. Everybody is so fantastically incompetent on this particular issue that I can't work out whether the rules are different or incorrectly applied.

Hey guys just got a notice my interview was scheduled...file on April 5.. ead received April 10.. i485 received April 17... biometrics done may 10.... i485 update on August 22 saying its ready to schedule interview... interview schedule august 27... no updates on my ead

It appears you’ll be getting your AOS before your EAD.

 

im  it sure why but I’ve seen it happen this way for a couple others as well.

[AZSunshine78 437]

Has anyone received the message

”withdrawal acknowledge notice has been sent”

 

what happens with this?

we ended up with 2 cases for 765, sent a written request to cancel one months ago, called to check on it recently and USCIS told us to request the other one be cancelled.

 

we did this and then today the original one we had requested be cancelled was.

 

now they’re going to cancel both and I’m scared they’ll reject the 465.

 

we are just waiting for the 465 and hoping it’s approved soon because we do not want to start 765 again, pay for it and the 465 gets approved.

 

uscis is a mess😣

EAD/AP card in hand, 140 days between sending the packet off and getting the card. Better late than never I suppose!

[Cookie13 16]

154 days and counting... 

[Sarah&Facundo 614]

Woohoo EAD changed to "New card is being produced." It's weird because the status for the AP document didn't change. I thought they come together?

Congratulations! 

 

When did your combo card get shipped to you? Mine was shipped on 8/22 as per the status tracker but I still haven’t received mine. 

 

I was approved on 8/17- new card in production. 

Card was sent to me - 8/22

received approval notices in mail -8/23

as of 8/27- I still have no received my combo card. 

 

Thank you for all your help! 

 

[Rbalsara96 16]

I called the USCIS and spoke to Tier 2 and they said that my Combo card still has not shipped even though the status says that it was shipped on 8/22. Anyone have this happen to them?

Congratulations!. Status for AP never change on online but you will receive letter of approval EAD and AP on mailbox before you receive the card.

Ah- I still did not get the card in the mail today. Did your USCIS Case Status change to Card was delivered or does it still say "Card was mailed to me"? I really appreciate all your help.

hi, i feel bad you haven't recieved your card. keep on praying. maybe it will be on the mail today. no the status haven't changed. it is still card mailed to me. did you change address?

Welp, we've officially reached the 4 month mark of waiting for my husband's EAD! We had to cancel our plans to travel back to India in November to visit family because even if the EAD/AP arrives next month *fingers crossed* it will still be cutting it too close to book tickets and plan the trip. This whole process is really making me re-think filing for the K1 in the first place. Obviously nothing I can do about it now and I'm glad we are together while we're waiting, but the spouse visa option is seeming a lot more practical now! 90 days waiting for EAD would've been no big deal, but 4-6 months is just outrageous! I really hope they get a handle on this and get approvals processing quickly.

 

Question - does anyone know if the EAD/AP is processed by the local office or at the NBC(i think that's what its called)? In other words, I know the Phoenix office is pretty slow for AOS - but will that mean the EAD/AP gets processed slower than others also? Or are all done by the same office regardless of local office? Trying to decide if I should get excited about seeing others on this thread getting approved or not

NBC processes EAD/AP
Your GC is local office- which is why there's a big range in when people get their GC. If your office is fast, you can bet to even have ur GC before your turn at NBC with the EAD/AP
