I just received the EAD/AP combo card today. It took exactly one week after I received the approval notice.

congrats.!

did you receive the email notification or you got it in the mail.

I only got email notifications and no hard copies yet or card.

That's gives me concern.

I received the actual card by mail today.

Last Wednesday i did receive an email notification that they sent the card and today I got another email telling me that the card has been delivered. So I went to check my mailbox and indeed the card was inside.

Congratulations to all who currently receiving their EAD/AP

When I received my combo card (EAD/AP), I thought I could travel in Canada. We are only 2 hrs away, however Canadian boarder acknowledge Greencard only. My perception of having AP will enable you to go out of US territory and travel in a different country. But I was wrong, AP will only allow you to travel to your Country of Origin and back to US.

I have not received it yet. It just updated to card was mailed yesterday. It took me a month and two weeks after my bio to have an update,

If it helps ease your worries any, my son's EAD card was mailed 2 day priority so you should definately get it this coming week

Just want to let you know guys, after my interview yesterday, I got an offer letter today (on a Saturday). I feel so blessed, after almost felt like giving up. 2 weeks after I got my EAD card, I finally got a job.

Don't lose hope guys! I had offered a job before but lose it because of the delayed EAD. After getting my EAD, I went to 4 interviews and felt like giving up. But now finally got it.

To God be the Glory! Goodluck to those looking for jobs.. You will get it soon Happy weekend! Never ever lose confidence! More so Hope!

I'm frustrated it's been over a week since I got the approval notice and still nothing did they send you a tracking number for it? Thanks and congrats!!

You can travel anywhere. Whether you get into the country you're going depends (logically) on your passport*, not your AP. Your AP only determines whether you're allowed back into the US.

So if your passport/citizenship is from a country that needs a visa to enter Canada (or whatever country you want to enter), you'll still need a visa.

( * only exception to this is that once you have a green card, Canada (and I think Mexico) let you into the country without needing a visa)

I received the notice of approval (06/07/2015) for EAD/AP in the mail yesterday.

But no information about mailing the card. I am still hoping that it won't take too long for the card to arrive.

I don't think you are only allowed to travel to your home country.

Please correct me if I am wrong.

That makes the most sense!

You're allowed to travel anywhere you want with the EAD/ap. there are no restrictions. However, you maybe need a reason to travel. I'm okay for multiple entries.

[DaveNot 55]

I don't know how the process works exactly, but I cannot remember seeing a so how restriction. and reading this forum have read that not many have had issues with travel if you fit within normal guidelines of not abandoning your status

Hey fellow filers. Hope everyone having a blessed day. I received 2 things yesterday. The first one is really important. I received my baby girl yesterday. And I also go in the mail the aproval notice. Quick question. How long do it take to get the actually card? Does anybody knows?

[nadsa 1]

I received my approval two Thursdays ago, and still nothing, that same day I checked my online status and it was still the same since the beggining, it changed to "your EAD has been approved" last Tuesday. Last Thursday I checked my status again and it said; "your card has been mailed" so I'm expecting it tomorrow or the next day after tomorrow, so around 10 work days.

[DaveNot 55]

Mine took around a week
