Receipt times for EAD renewal?

[Tilly87 14]

Hi all,

 

My EAD combo card expires 08/09/2019, and I have a job I'm hoping to keep until my immigration process is over, so I applied (with my lawyer's help) at the end of April for a renewal for both my I-176 (EAD) and I-131 (Advanced Parole). At that point, I knew processing times are very long, but that with the renewal receipt notice, the EAD card is automatically extended for 180 days. I still haven't received even the receipts for these. I had my lawyer follow up and he confirmed that the renewal applications were delivered to USCIS, also that several of his other clients are in a similar situation (waiting on receipts for months), and also that he spoke with an officer that sounded like he would track it down. That was a week ago, still no movement. Just curious, are there any other people on here who are in this situation, waiting 2+ months for even the receipt notices? I think my application is at the National Benefits Center, that's where the initial I-765 and I-131 were processed (based on a pending I-485).

 

Thanks!
