I have updated this date on February 2009 AOS Filers Progressive Report.

Now see...wasn't that phone call worth it? hehe Warning though...I was approved 4 days before you and I still have not received the notice of approval which usually preceeds the EAD arrival by 2 days. On average it takes about 10 days(depending on snail mail to receive the EAD after approval). If you were approved on the 6th I'd start getting my hopes up around the 15/16th.

I have 1 more day to physically receive my card and then my job offer is dropped. It better get here on time but it's not looking good.

Did you ever receive your notice of approval for the AP in the mail? The Officer on the phone said that if we don't receive it by Saturday to call him back.. we'll see. Which office do the notice of approvals go out from??

I only received the final approved AP. Two copies which is normal. There was no approval notice outside of the actual approved AP. My receiving that is what caused me to call up and find out if the EAD was approved which it was.

Well we called about the AP but they said that receipt/case number does not appear in their system... so I figure they lost it? It's not nearly as important as the EAD and we didn't have any travel plans - I just find it crazy how unorganized things are.

I tried calling them after reading your posts. All they could tell me was to call them back after 75 days from receipt. It sounded like they were reading a script as well. Maybe I will try again and hopefully talk to someone else.

Ask to speak to someone on the next highest level....they don't have access to what you need where as the second level people do.

Some will transfer you automatically to an officer if they can't see anything in their system but others you have to ask.. ask to speak with an officer.
