We were married 04/02/2011
I received my conditional 2-year greencard (AOS) in 2.5 months with no interview (April-June 2011)

Our son was born 02/03/2013

I received my masters degree in Speech-Language Pathology 04/17/2013

I received my 10-year greencard (ROC) in 3 months with no interview (March-June 2013)

My husband returned from deployment 06/20/2013

About how long did it take everyone to actually receive their EAD/AP card after they were notified it was approved? Just wondering because N has already heard of a few job opportunities and it would be great if we could estimate whether or not we'll have to wait the full 30 days.

Well mine got approved June 1st, but they only mailed it on June 7th and I got it the 13th.. so just assume 4-5 days from when your status says "We mailed the document..." That's what I think :)

BUTTTTT I am assuming that the only reason mine was mailed the 7th even it was approved the 1st was because of the RFE, they probably delayed mailing it until I was back on RFE review, which was the same day :)

It took 9 days to receive my EAD.

How long did you guys have to wait from the day you were notified of approval to getting it in the mail? :)

It took 3 days to receive Welcome letter and 6 days to receive the card so not long at all. :)
