over +190 days waiting for EAD! 3 service requests later and contacted Ombudsman a month ago and nothing! what is going on? 

I’m on day 200 waiting for EAD/AP. After 2 service requests I received a letter 1-2 months later saying “you will hear something soon”. Not sure what “soon” is to them, cause it has now been 3 weeks since I received that letter. I see people that applied long AFTER me, receiving their EAD as early as February/March, so I’m worried something is wrong. But I guess they are working on my case as I received that letter, but I’m a little puzzled why it has taken so long when it says normal processing is 2-3 months, and I have almost waited 7 months (and that is just for the EAD!!)

Am a November filler k1 AOS and my PD is Nov 3rd I'm yet to get my EAD or GC my case is at NBC and l can see they are now processing November 14th. I have called like 4 times(l call once per month) ,raised so many SR and even at one time spoke to  tier 2 officer But nothing seem to be working. Am frustrated  to say the least. Are there any other early November fillers who haven't received their was or gc interview date?

Yes. My PD is November 6. I have not heard anything at all. I went to an infopass appointment on Wednesday and spoke to an officer. He said my case was assigned to someone and they had been working on my case since February 25. Not sure why it takes THAT long to work on a case, but he said give it like three more weeks. But at this point I do now expect anything, even within these three weeks. I have two unanswered case inquiries too.

Going over 4 Months now for AP and EAD......

 

says between 2.5 to 5 months normally.   Has everyone else been closer to 5 months?  

Me too.. going on 5 months on Thursday. Unbelievable how it can take this long.

Today marks 90 days since my NOA... how long will I have to wait to start living?  This is soooo frustrating.. 

Day 101 here.. still not a word since 11/13. I did a case inquiry around 3 weeks ago, but they say it takes 15-30 days just to get an answer on the inquiry. Had to leave my job two days ago as my OPT EAD expired + my drivers license expired then too. Not allowed to renew it without new EAD, so just sitting at home now patiently waiting for my new EAD/AP.

You could call the 800 number and try to expedite your ead, based on your current one expiring. If you have a job explain that you will lose your job and be in financial trouble, lose your license and be unable to drive and help pay bills.

Thanks, I will give them a call again. Already called them twice... is there a difference in the case inquiry and to expedite the EAD? Last time I called them they said they will send in an inquiry and I will hear back within two weeks. And I have not heard anything. It says online: “As of January 23, 2018, your inquiry about the status of your Employment Authorization application is currently not assigned for processing.” 

But I will call again today and ask to expedite the EAD, as I really need to be able to work.

I filed 11/06, still haven’t heard anything. I’m at day 93. Have not heard a word since I filed apart from biometrics that I had 12/07. It says online last updated 11/17. I already filed a case inquiry two weeks ago, still heard nothing. I’m going crazy. My current OPT EAD expires in 6 days....  Did anyone else file early November and are still waiting? I’m not sure what more I can do......

Hi guys, since I have no update on my case I decided to call USCIS and when they ask for my receipt number, I enter the 10 digit number (minus the the three letters) and it says it’s incomplete? Anyone knows what is this? 

Yes, you have to write the letters as the numbers they are on the phone keyboard. For example if your letters are MSC, the numbers you type in are 672. If that makes sense? 

Does anyone know if I can work remotely as a freelancer here in the US, while waiting for EAD approval? I am a Norwegian citizen, and would work for a Norwegian company remotely, so I wouldn’t see anything wrong with that..? It is just so I have some source of income as this process is taking forever.

hey all,

 

I'm sending out my AOS package soon. Did any of you decide to not send the I-693 (medical examination), and wait to take it to interview? If so, has anyone actually got a RFE for not sending in the medical with the package? I don't want it to expire, so would rather wait to take it to interview. However, I don't want to risk an RFE and risk delaying my EAD/AP!

I did not send the 693 with the AOS package, and have not got a RFE. But I wrote in my cover letter that the medical i693 will be provided later on. I’ve done the medical now though, but I’m just going to bring it to the interview instead of mailing it separately now. Still waiting for EAD/AP though, been 79 days.

ooh ok, did you call to 1-800-375-5283 ? 

 

Yes. The representative said they would have an update for me within 15 days via email/mail.

I just checked and since my case was received (nov 6), it is now over 75 days waiting for my EAD document. 

 Although I received an RFIE, do you guys think I should call? My case and all paperwork still says 'received' since November. 

 I have the same date as you (nov 6). I have not receive an RFIE, or heard anything after my biometrics on December 10th. Still says received on 6th online, like yours. But I called USCIS an hour ago and made a case inquiry, as it is now 78 days ago since they received my package.

Still waiting.. No updates on my case. USCIS received my case on Nov.6, I had biometrics on Dec. 10. It still says “case received November 6” online. I am currently on OPT through the F1 Visa and my current work permit expires in three weeks. Hoping i will receive EAD asap, so I won’t have to take leave from work as I am the main source of income in our household.

We haven't gotten anything as far as an RFI and our Case still says the last update was 11/29 is anyone else's still stuck on that far back of an update??? We called because my husbands  biometrics was 12/18 but they didn't even put that on the online update. The lady on the phone said to just watch the mail the online updates aren't always accurate. I just feel stuck in limbo.  I'm so happy everyone else's cases are moving along

Mine still says “case received” and it was received on 11/06, so I’m still waiting.... have not heard anything except for my biometrics that I had on December 10. I filed from F1 visa, not sure if that affects the processing time.
