The multiple notices are just USCIS operating at its bumbling best. You might get a couple more before you get your EAD card. As for the GC, I think the big delay there is that USCIS appearently has to do the same background check it did for your visa. Waiting is the only thing to do.

Ah, thanks for the response. I hope I don't get any more emails before I get the EAD (being optimistic about getting it this week, based on the forums) so I could start working on Monday.

All I need is the EAD for now, I am no rush to get the GC, can easily wait one more month before getting frustrated as I have to plan to visit the motherland with the wifey

My EAD was approved on 9/27 (email) and then I received an email on 10/3 indicating the same (exact same email except for the date, I would think this is called a touch) and then today I received one more email informing me that a notice was mailed. I am hoping this is the EAD card and that I would receive it in a day or two.

I hope everyone's application is moving along as well.

I have not yet heard anything about my green card. No Appointment data, no touches since 8/4.

I received an email yesterday about EAD card production and this morning about AP approval.

I am hoping that the EAD card will arrive next week so I can start working, the future employer has been waiting for over a month.

How long has it taken for you to receive the card from the date of card production?

I believe you will be in the "Initial Review" stage until they send you an inverview letter or an RFE (God forbid). So, I would say, it's normal. Regarding the "touches", when you sign up for the case status updates, the main page you see when you log on is a list of Cases and their corresponding dates as to when they were last "touched" or reviewed.

Hope this helps..

Oh! and thank you =)

My sincerest congrats to you!!

Thank you for the quick response. I presume there is nothing I can do but wait and hope the new employer can wait for a few more weeks.

I hope you are approved w/o an interview. Good luck.

Hey guys,

Congratulations to all those who have started receiving a word on their EADs/APs/GCs.

I have checked my status and for some odd reason, even though it has been a little over a month since it has been since my bio-metrics appointment, I see that my status still says Initial review. Did you have the same status and when did it change? Also, I am not quite sure how you figure that USCIS touched your case.

appreciate any response.
