This morning I received the update of my I-765 "card is being produced".

 

Several weeks before, based on other members's timelines provided on VisaJourney without expedition, I set on my phone calendar that today is " expected of EAD being produced", which is exactly today I received the "card is being produced" update of my i-765.

 

So I suggest to research the members timelines around with yours, and with the Visa Journey's data helps, the estimation could be accurate.

 

Good luck!

 

 

Congratulations! It seems that EADs around our timeline are taking at least 110 days to process. Did you raise an SR? I saw your timeline and saw that you have been scheduled for an interview. I was wondering if I was still going to get an EAD since my interview was in a month. 

 

Good luck on your immigration journey!

From what I know, the process of i-765 is separated with the process i-485. So you should expect an EAD before your interview.

However, I also saw a case, her i-485 case processing timeline is very efficient and short (3months something?)

and even her interview was finished and approved. she did not receive the EAD.

 

and after receiving her resident card, she also received a mail about her i-765 saying that "since your i-485 is approved and card is mailed before the i-765, so you won't receive an EAD".

 

But this is just a case that I read online, I do not know if it is true or not.

 

Anyway, my personal feelings are : Before the interview, you should expect an EAD; after the interview and your case was approved, then probably you will not receive an EAD. Logic? Because the functions of EAD are overlapped with resident card, you are not expected to  have both cards in the same time, that's why (I guess) after the interview, if the case was approved, the interviewers always draw attention to return EAD cards to a specific office.

 

I hope it was clear for you! Good luck!

We filed in June as well along with EAD. Biometrics 30 days after. Just got an RFE for the EAD today--I placed an a6 code instead of c9 as the basis for the EAD eligibility. From another forum I am told this is fairly common. And I am thinking the 3 month clock will get reset now 🤔😡

Yes I raised a SR online, but it shows from " the case is currently not assigned for processing"directly jump to "card is being produced".

Thank you! And your explanation was crystal clear! We haven't heard anything about our EAD application so we've been worried. We were lucky to have had the interview scheduled but would still be grateful to receive an EAD just in case the decision takes longer after the interview. But yes, a PR card basically authorizes you to work so the EAD wouldn't be needed. Again, thank you! And good luck with your upcoming interview!

From what I've read on the USCIS website, your clock or timeline resets if you receive a request for "initial evidence". For request for (just) evidence, your clock only pauses while they check the evidence they requested and resumes once they confirm whatever it is they asked about. Hope this helps.

Update on our case. We called USCIS to check on our SR. Because it has been past the 90 days, he submitted a different request and we should get a letter within the next 5 days to explain what is going on. He said that he didn't see anything wrong with the case so it is probably because the service center is behind.

Hi Jass, your i-765 timeline seems to be approaching with mine, if there is no RFE, no faults on your forms, it should be fine, maybe just wait for another 3 or 4 business days! Good luck!

So do I... But as @Anthony and Bobby said, the DC field office is swamped. Oh well. I am more stressed about finally getting my EAD; I can't wait to help contribute and take the burden of full financial responsibility off my spouse (although she keeps telling me that she does not actually mind, but still...).

Yeah. Just make sure to call USCIS after 90 days have passed since NOA1 for your EAD. As long as you didn't get your RFE then they'll be able to expedite it. Waiting for Monday then i'll call them.

I'm gonna message you my own checklist from the checklist they gave. I'm adjusted for K1 visa too 😊

@Réina17 Can you please post the checklist here? In the end of the the day we'll very likely need to go to an interview sooner than later  Thank you!

I quit my job and moved in with my spouse because we lived in different states then got stuck at home for 3 months, not sure if I made a right choice but we couldn't stand Face Timing everyday. I hadn't stop working since I started my 1st job and now I feel so uncomfortable and stressed out. Although I tried my best to keep myself calm and patient in order not to make my spouse worried, I explode sometimes. LOL 

I'm so tiring from checking the status and mail box in the beginning of the day with hope and next Monday is my 90th day but nothing really happens. It seems I should count more days as you guys too. Irma really scared me because I haven't started my life here yet. Now I am keeping myself busy by self-learning English at home. Lol.

Good things come for people who wait. Good luck to all of us.

Would any of you mind sharing your plans after receiving the green card? Studying, working ... to join these fast-paced lives?

So basically you took the same documentation you sent when applied for K1 and AOS plus pictures and accounts?

After the interview what is next?

 

Thanks
