Congrats! You can see on my timeline down the bottom. But basically I got the approval notification last Tuesday 3/29. I received the card on Saturday 4/2. So it's 5 days.

Depends on where you live I guess. My card is scheduled to be delivered Wednesday, so 7 days, if it gets here on time.

As others have mentioned, the status of the EAD went from "New card is being produced" back to "Case was approved."

Is it now supposed to revert back to "New card is being produced"?

Also roughly how long after should we get an update with "Card was mailed" or something similar?

Thanks folks and alot of great news for January folks.

Hi everyone, I just got email that on my i-765 that 'new card is being produced.' I am so relieved! Thanks to Fogles, SweetJuls and some others who advised me on the expeditious processing request. I am so glad I know you awesome VJ-ers! :dancing:

Congratulations!!!! :dancing:

I am so happy for you! And I'm so happy that I was able to share my experience with you.

Has your EAD/AP card arrived yet? Mine arrived Saturday (I didn't receive the tracking number until an hour after it arrived :oops: ), and everything re: work is starting to move so quickly now that it has finally arrived!

I had an RFE on the I485 so basically I haven't receive any update of my EAD/AP and neither from the AOS. Is a good sign that you are scheduled for an interview, but the bummer is that could arrive in two weeks, one month or sometimes more :crying: . But you can put a service request on your EAD/AP after the 75 days of the NOA 1. I've seen that a lot members do this and get the approval.

I am on my my 84th day but it does not matter because of the RFE ... I just need to wait. :clock:

Yeah that's what I've been hearing that the interview part can be anytime.. But I am trying to keep positive.. And I am going to be positive for you too that the RFE will not affect u getting ur EAD... Fingers crossed.

Thanks so much, Fogles!

No, my EAD/AP has not yet arrived. The case status update says 'card was mailed to me' yesterday. So, hopefully will get it later this week or early next week.

All the best with work and GC! :goofy:

Congrats to all approved January Filers. It looks like these past three days have been with a lot of activity for the USCIS. Tons of approvals.

Do you guys know if after the RFE is received by the USCIS I will receive any NOA or receipt?

How long until I hear any news for my case? I've seen people here saying that will reset and other people that just delays couple of weeks.

Any information is welcomed.

Hey,

I got an RFE on the day of my biometrics appointment on my I-485. I was worried that this reset my wait time for my Green Card and my Work Authorization/Adance Parol. I sent it out the information for the RFE and received acknowledge of receipt about a week later.

About a month and a week later, I received approval for my EAD/AP.

I think my Green Card application is definitely reset but my work authorisation went through.
