Ticia24

Finally got EAD/AP. Filed in April...in Minnesota looking at interview times for local office and looks like a year out. But it says they scheduled an interview...guess just gotta wait for it in the mail.

Hello: so I am in the same boat as the people above me. My EAD got approved on August 16... I was so excited I got the letter and that it. Nothing after. It's been over a month and not card yet. I called and talked to a second tier officer who told me "I don't understand why your card hasn't been produced everything is correct so I am opening a service request. I told her: "No, I don't want a service request I want my card to able to work. I just need someone to press the button to print it, that's it". So of course they open my 4 service request that nobody ever see it. With the title "resend card". What?! resend my card it was never produced the first time! So frustrating! She told me to wait for another 15 more days begin I call again. 

I feel you....Its ridiculous...I really don't understand how USCIS works, even some cases that had RFEs didn't wait this long for their EADs approval. Have you involved your local congressman/woman? I got mine approved and I am still waiting for my child's EAD approval and its well over 130 days, 2 SRs, still nothing, I am getting the senator involved today and I am waiting for a Tier 2 officer to call me back and explain why we have to wait this long when all other cases filled at the same time have gotten their approvals.
Its annoying

Same thing happened to me. They received my application April 24th and approved my EAD/AP September 4th. My status changed to "card mailed" on Tuesday and according to USPS informed delivery, my EAD/AP should be delivered Monday! So hopefully yours will be mailed out very soon! 
 
Congrats to all that have gotten their GC!

EAD/AP combo card came in the mail today. Wife is extremely excited!! Next up GC interview on the 4th

Update -- Received GC yesterday. 6th business days since approval. So relieved.

Good luck to all!  

it took me about 10 days.

I made an SR in July 3rd and another one in July 18 even tho no action has been taken regarding my first SR. 
 
The July 3rd SR is still untouched, they managed to work on the July 18 SR after 9 days. My request for expediting the case was in July 21.
 
I was told by a rep that once a request to expedite the case has been created, the SR registered is no longer of importance. But on the same day that I received the mail from them asking for more evidence proving the reason for me filing for expediting the case, I also received the NOA2 for my EAD and AP. 
 
They're kind of confusing at times but you just have to find the right person to talk to. 
 
How do you do that? Keep calling. I also try to get the agent names and agent IDs of each rep I talk to. I had spoken to a guy called Cesar, another one called Lester, a lady called Courtney and fella named William, but only Lester and Courtney managed to help me go through my concerns about EAD updates. Mine got approved by the 107th day of being active. I started calling them on the 81st day. 
 
I hope yours gets approved soon.

Can you tell me on which page you found that statement? The only thing I've been able to find is in regards to placing a service request. Beyond that, repeatedly calling probably won't cause USCIS to process a case any faster.
 
I've heard that the call center reps (Tier 1) and even the ISO's (Tier 2) are hit or miss. So your advice to call back is sound.
 
I'm glad you found it helpful! I don't want to discourage people from making an Infopass appointment but I want to be sure people have reasonable expectations before possibly making a very long journey only to be told the same thing as they were told from a service request. My only suggestion is to be polite to your representative's staff -- they have nothing to do with your case's delay and are actually on your side fighting for you. Give them as much information as possible and make sure to include all tracking numbers (alien number, receipt/MSC number, date applied, NOA1 date, etc.) so they can have an easy time talking with USCIS.

Did you talk to a supervisor or just a regular rep? Tier 1 and Tier 2 have more authority and can do certain things that a regular agent couldn't do. Try to call back and follow up on the same SR. I put 2 SRs and they answeres me on the 2nd one. Right before they answered my 2nd SR I even put up a request to have my case expedited due to severe loss of finances since only one person is working etc., by the time I received the mail of them asking me for evidences to support my claim for expediting the case, the same day I got the mail for the NOA2 of my EAD and AP. 
 
I have called I think 4x. I was only assisted properly by the 4th call. And I learned that I was given a wrong info by the 2nd rep I talked to.
 
Don't stop calling. You're already waiting too long.

Call USCIS and ask for a Tier 1 or Tier 2. It is actually in the USCIS website that you can start calling for an update on the EAD as soon as your application hits the 76th day of being active.
 
Make sure that the supervisor puts a service request on the system under "Beyond Normal Processing Time".
AP status will remain as Case Was Received as the AP and EAD are just in 1 card.
Congrats!

Hey, I'm from Virginia too. We are on the same boat. I filed at 4/24, no EAD updates since then (121 days already), GC ready to be scheduled since June. So frustrated:( 

Based on my experience, an Infopass appointment won't do you any good. If your case is beyond 106 days (current average VJ processing time), your next step after a service request should be to have your USC spouse contact their representative in Congress to have an inquiry submitted.
 
Speaking of that, I spoke by phone with my representative's office on 8/16 and they put in an inquiry the next day. I followed up with them yesterday. Their only update was that my wife's case was "with an officer" which was basically the same status update I received at the Infopass appointment on 8/9. However, given that there's now a congressional inquiry on record with USCIS, I've been told that we should have a decision by the end of this week. Fingers crossed!
