I must remind you that USCIS didn't say "after 75 working days", it is "after 75 days"; I'll advice you call them on Monday to possibly open "ARTF" SR on your EAD. I believe a lot of us would worry less if we got our EAD on time and got busy working. Checking our emails/text messages and USCIS website has become a job...lol

lol tell me about it, I'm constantly tracking my case and looking at jobs hoping I can start soon. I will give them a call next week.

My timeline is below in case it is helpful to anyone. For whatever it is worth and have been married to my US citizen wife for four years and we have a child. I've adjusted from F1, to F1-post completion OPT after completing my PhD, then to H1B, and have been cleared for work authorization three times in the last three years (including this AOS). Anyways, here is my breakdown:

  • 04/07/2014: Package mailed to USCIS
  • 04/10/2014: package received by USCIS
  • 04/15/2014: NOA for I-485, I-130, I-131, I-765
  • 04/22/2014: Biometrics appointment letter received for 05/08/2014
  • 05/08/2014: Biometrics taken 05/08/2014
  • 05/27/2014: Status change to 'testing and interview'
  • 06/02/2014: Interview scheduled for 07/03/2014
  • 06/20/2014: Notice that EAD and advance parole are approved
  • 06/21/2014: EAD card delivered
  • 07/03/2014: Interview. We were approved on the spot after about five minutes for a 10 year card. The AO was super friendly and said my card should be delivered in the next three weeks and gave me a warm welcome.
Based on what I have seen here, this was incredibly fast. Hope this helps!

Congratulations! That was fast. Where is your local office?

Awe you are so sweet. Same to you. I am not too worry because I know my husband will make sure I get my GC. It is just 4 days before our wedding ceremony. We are having a big ceremony and reception on Aug 9th. I'm so excited for both events that just 4 days apart. Then, we will leave town for own honeymoon to Mexico after I receive my GC or I make sure I got stamped on my passport.

I have a quick question. I received an update on June 30 that my EAD and AP were approved. My EAD status shows that it is in production, and my AP shows that it was mailed to me on June 30. I thought it is a combo card (EAD + AP).

I haven't received any notification with a shipping number that some of you have mentioned in your posts. Did anyone receive their EAD without notification about the shipping? I Have run out of patience with this waiting game, need to be able to work ASAP

I never seen what either the combo or either documents look like. I did not apply for AP because I don't intend to leave the States before my green card. I haven't got an update on my EAD so, congrats on your EAD/AP updates. I so look forward to my EAD, too!

FWIW, we were notified about my husband's EAD/AP being approved by our congressional contact; a day later the EAD changed to the in production, a day after that, we got the USPS number. The entire time, the AP status was still "initial review."

He did receive a combo card, and a week after receipt of the card, AP status switched over to match EAD. Honestly, I just don't think the online system is as updated and accurate as we'd all like.

I never seen what either the combo or either documents look like. I did not apply for AP because I don't intend to leave the States before my green card. I haven't got an update on my EAD so, congrats on your EAD/AP updates. I so look forward to my EAD, too!

EAD card and AP is the same card. I didn't apply for AP. So my card says "not valid for reentry."
