EAD timeline for California?

[baze92 33]

Hi everyone,

 

My wife had her biometrics appointment in March. Based on others timelines, it seems like many were approved for their EAD in a few weeks (after biometrics). It's been over 3 months now.

 

It would be great to hear from others in this forum that are in California. Is anyone else waiting 3+ months? Is there anything we can do to try and speed this process up?

 

We filed AOS November 2020, so are over 7 months now, hoping to get her green card before the end of the year as well.

 

Thank you.

If she has a job offer, she can present it as evidence for an expedite request. It can still take some months though.

I-765 is processed by the National Benefits Center in Missouri, regardless of the local field office for the I-485.  Your wife's case is still within the current estimate for EAD processing, which is 5.5 to 10.5 months -- https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/

We filed AOS end of September 2020 with an October NOA date - and we are also in California.

 

I had my Biometrics in February. I have never received any EAD or AP notice of any kind, ever.

 

They decided to skip it, I guess - because my Green Card interview is tomorrow (July 13).

 

Maybe they're doing the same for you?

Just so you know. July 13 is today. You haven’t missed your interview, have you?

Haha, no, just a slipped-finger typo.  It is indeed tomorrow (Wednesday the 14th).

 

(OMG wouldn't that be SO bad if I screwed up in front of all of VJ like that LOL...)

So how did the interview go? A stranger has been saying some prayers for you last night

APPROVED!

 

9 months and 12 days from NOA to approval; not bad for during COVID times at an office with a reputation for typically very long wait times (San Diego).

 

Not a peep ever about my EAD or AP applications - but I'll take the full Green Card first / instead, thank you.

 

(Oh...and thank you so much for the prayers!)
