Gosh....I could never work as a waitress again. I did that in Germany for a couple of months but had to realize that I'm not made for this kind of job.

Haha! He's been doing nothing for the past 3 months, he's so eager to work I don't think he cares!

Congratulations! I checked the Texas Service Center processing time for EAD and it says they're processing the ones from Dec. 2016. Comparing to your filing date, yours was processed early, so I'm thinking these processing times are not that accurate?

Dude most EAD applications are being processed at NBC and when NBC has too much workload only then they transfer to other service centers. The processing times are not inaccurate, you just need to check the NBC processing times instead of Texas, her application was processed in normal time. The receipts numbers containing 'MSC' tell you that the application is being handled by NBC (formerly Missouri Service Center)

Me too. I really want to work. I often feel sorry for my husband that he has to pay everything and I'm like "you know that if I could I would pay half of the invoices and rent". I want to help him but I can't help him yet. But soon I can and I'm excited.

From what I see, NBC is also processing early December filers

So today I asked about any update on my EAD case. I raised a service request on day 77. The CSR said that your is approaching the normal processing time and is under review. You may receive a decision shortly.

I received my AP document though which got approved on April 13, 2017 and I received it on April 25.

I have MSC receipt numbers for all three applications.

Oh I see. I just checked NBC as well and it says Dec. 2016 for I-765. Then again, the dates posted are as of Feb. 28, 2017, so it means to say add two months to the processing time?

I was wondering the same...

 

By the way, I like your signature

You got it. They started processing december 3rd applications from february 28th, 2017. But today its April 28. So its moving forward but they just dont update it instantly, they update the processing times after a month or two. So from december 3 to february 28 is just under 90 days. This gives us the idea that other applications filed after december or january may also be processed in around 90 days.

Got it! It is, indeed, on time but they should update the site more often. Thanks! 👌

I see that you had your biometrics and that your case is ready for an interview, but you still don't have EAD approval?

True. My AOS was updated earlier but EAD still says Case Was Received and judging from the processing times and other filers' advice as well, it will still take a month for me. I'm just glad we didn't get any RFE.

Our AOS application still says fingerprint fee received on Feb 27th. Not sure when we can call and inquire about it. Weird that you are moving along with AOS and not EAD, and that we're the other way around!

I got a letter saying my EAD was approved and I will recieve the EAD card in another letter. Anyone have this happen or know about how many days after receiving the EAD approval letter you should receive the actual card?
