It's been 16 days!! What is going on??

I first received word that my EAD was ordered on June 3rd. I received another notice that the approval was sent on June 9th. Today is the 19th, but still NOTHING in the mail. I'm getting upset. What is the deal? Is anyone else experiencing a similar delay receiving their EAD card in the mail after approval notices?

I`m not sure... But could it have anything to do with the card production delays they are having at USCIS? Or is it exclusively for the green cards? I`m sure your card is on the way. Either way, hang in there!

I hope it's not the delay too. We just got the second email this week, which I thought meant the EAD card was being mailed.

I don't know if you have to wait the 30 days to call or see if it got lost in the mail. I hope it arrives soon!

Keep us updated.

Ok, I can relax now. The EAD card came in the mail this morning. The mailman was at the box as I typed my last message.

Thanks Marinko. We lost about 2 weeks with the RFE til we received the letter, we over nighted it back, and they opened it and put it with our other forms. Then we waited another 3 weeks before we heard anything. Waiting is hard.
