Hello, 

a few weeks ago, I went to my local DMV to renew my ID with my new EAD card. Just like the first time, I needed to wait for a letter from the DPS stating my lawful presence had been verified by USCIS and come back to finalize the application. 
I finally received the letter but it says they verified my I-551 permanent resident card (green card) and that my lawful presence was verified. 
The problem is that I do not have a green card and applied with my EAD. All the other info on the letter is correct. 

One important note is that between applying for my ID and receiving this letter I got an update that my case was ready to be scheduled for the green card interview. 
Has this ever happened to anyone else? Any advice? 

thank you! 
ps: I tried calling USCIS but cannot get to a real person. I’m going to the DMV tomorrow.

Last year I renewed my EAD in May 2020 and got it in 3 months. This year people reported is more than double the time 

Hi! 
coming back to update.. I submitted my renewal mid-December and just received my EAD this past week: March 10th. Plot twist though… only the EAD was accepted but not the advanced parole. I read from the national law review that USCIS had stopped giving away the combo card starting March 1st to be able to catch up on EAD applications because they’re so behind. Just a heads up because I was very surprised to see only one of the two applications were approved.. good thing is the EAD is valid for 2 years instead of 1 with the advanced parole.

Hello! Yes, we did get it taken care of! The third verification finally worked. The entire process to get my husband’s documents verified took around two weeks.

 

You will receive a letter in the mail from DPS once everything has been squared away. Take that letter with you to the DMV and they will issue your license. You can also track your verification status on the DPS website. That’s how we found out that the process was completed. We didn’t bother waiting for the letter. You do need to be mindful about setting your appointments at the DMV. When we first attempted to renew my husband’s DL, we went to the DMV in Fort Worth (we live 20 mins North of Dallas). The staff there assured us that once my husband gets verified, we could go to any DMV location to finish the process without an appointment. That wasn’t the case. We went to two DMV locations that wouldn’t take my husband in without an appointment and had to drive all the way back to Fort Worth to finish the process.

Sorry for the delay But thank you so much for your response! 

Hello, 

I read this thread because I am in the same situation as you and your husband and live in Laredo. I will have to renew my ID at the end of January. I wanted to know if you guys figured it out. Thank you!

Not recently but still during Covid high- times it took 3 weeks for mine.

3 weeks to get your new EAD card?? I thought it took months.

Thank you for your answer

Hello! 

I am in AOS from a K1 visa. I got my EAD combo card in February and applied for renewal. I'd like to know if anyone renewed recently and how long it took to get the new card? Knowing I don't need to go through the biometrics appointment again. Thank you!
