Congrats! That was speedy!
Now get off the couch and go to work!

Out of interest: Does the EAD say approved or producing your card?

 

Thank you!! 

Only said "approved" never "producing". 

As you said, real life starts, lets find a job!

Did you apply for them together? We haven't gotten the same online updates for both but we know they are coming together.

Yes, I applied for them together! Thanks for the info, its great news =D

Just checked my case status online for EDA ---> "New Card is being produced". What a relief!!!

Hopefully, my travel authorization is coming soon too?

Have a great day everybody! =D

Hello!

Same for me, haven't done any kind of inquiry yet.

As you said we are still in "normal processing times"... but I mind try to contact the Ombudsman if in two weeks I am still waiting.

Have a great day!

Looks like a lot of december filers have received their EAD. Is there anyone else out there from early December filer? NOA is 12/4/17, going on 126 days now without any updates...  

You are not alone! It's really frustrating but let's try to stay positive...

Hello everybody!

I wanted to ask a question to the ones who applied in December and already received their travel authorization.

All of you did a special request (job offer, ombudsmen or other) or applied for an expedite working authorization?

Is there anybody who just waited and received their combo card already? 

Thank you and have a great day!

Hello Emilie,

 

Try to get on the website aroung 12am midnight and 1am, thats when you would be able to see available times and book an Infopass.

During the day there is never anything available.

Good luck

Thank you! Really appreciate the advice! 

Hello all!  

I am trying to get an "Info Pass" appointment with the Baltimore Field Office but according to their website there is no availability for the next 14 days. It was the same last week, and the week before that.... https://my.uscis.gov/en/appointment/new?appointment[international]=false

Someone was able to get an appointment in the past? If yes, how did you do? 

We still haven't received any news since December (no travel authorization, no EAD) and we want to make sure our application is still under review. 

Thank you in advance for your help,

Have a great evening!

Hello everybody!

As I am new to this forum, I am not sure if you talked about it already, so I would like to apologize if it's the case.

If I understood correctly, the local office doesn't deal with our EAD or travel authorisation, the National Benefit Center does. Right now, we can see online that it takes between 2.5 to 5 months to received it (the first number is the time it takes to complete 50% of cases (the median). The second number is the time it takes to complete 93% of cases.) More info here: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/#mainContent

Today, the case inquiry date is October 30, 2017 (yesterday was October 29). Our application will only be considered as "outside normal processing time" when this date will be December 15, 2017...meaning we shouldn't worry for now (even if I am definitely getting extremely tired of the wait!). 

Sorry again if that was discussed already.

Have a great day all!

Emilie 

Hello everybody!

Just wanted to say that I am with you. I applied December 15th... still waiting for the EAD!

Hopefully it will come soon as I have to travel in June.

Have a great day all  =D

We applied July 2017 and it took just under 100 days. I would suggest filling out your VJ time line. They will use everyones updates on VJ to give you an estimate of your approval dates. It has been relatively accurate for us during the process (assuming there aren’t any issues with processing). It will also update continuously depending on what others are reporting. 

Thank you for your help! If the estimate date is accurate, I should receive it in March (and I will have 3 more months before my trip in case!). 

Have a great week! 

Hello everybody!

Thank you for all your comments, this forum is really useful.

My biometrics appointment is scheduled for Friday this week in Baltimore. I applied for adjustment of status on December 15th, 2017. 

I would be really curious to know how long did you wait to received your travel authorization.

I applied for my Advance Parole at the same time as the other forms. I have to be back home at the end of June. I wanted to know if 6 months is enough to receive the document enabling me to travel?

Thank you sincerely in advance for your help!
