Hi everyone,

I have applied for adjustment of status (from a K1 visa) and my employment authorization (I-765) in January and I had my Biometrics appointment late February 2020, I still didn't receive anything from the USCIS. Does anyone have an idea about how long it is taking recently to get an Employment authorization ?

It took 6 months for me to get my EAD in 2017. And that was without a pandemic. At this point no one can tell how long it'll take.

I don't think anyone wants to believe it's going to take "28.5 Months to 37 Months".

But I can’t do anything about what someone wants and what is officially being reported?

I applied for EAD on 9/23/19. 
I had biometrics on 10/31/19. 
I’m still waiting for approval. 

Did you receive a RFE? You should've received your EAD in January/February. I also applied in September and it was approved is January 1st.

I haven’t received an RFE

I called the USCIS a month ago and they told me that my EAD is delayed due to circumstances that are not concerning my case. I also submitted an inquiry for outside normal processing times, but I haven’t received any response.

Mine took 6 months last year. Applied in March 2020 and I got it in August 2020. It’s now expired and I’m still waiting on my green card interview. So it took 5 months last year. I have no idea how long it would take now.
 

It’s so confusing because they have put a pause on a lot of employment based immigration cases and you would think that would speed up the process for family based petitions, but everyone on here seems to be saying we can now all expect huge covid delays. I’m guessing that would be due to staff being furloughed? I don’t know. It’s upsetting because I’m now at 17 months since filing my AOS application, which has been the median amount of time for a Seattle green card interview up until now, and to think this limbo will go on for longer is gut wrenching. At this rate it’s going to start taking 3 - 5 years to get a green card interview in Seattle.

It’s upsetting also because the DMV is requiring EAD for a drivers license. it’s not reasonable that someone who came to the US legally, would not be able to obtain a drivers license nor work authorization for such a long time.
