Hey guys 

 

So it’s now day 104 for my EAD, we raised a SR 2 weeks ago and today I received an email saying that my SR was assigned to an officer and then completed. 

 

Whats the next next steps should I be hearing a response soon and if so how long does it take

Thanks friends for your prayers. I received my EAD.

Yesterday I finally received my green card! I'm so happy and relieved that the wait is over and that I can work and go visit my family back in Spain!

Received a status update on my case this morning on the tracker that my case was scheduled for an interview. Ironically enough the new DHS website didn't update but the old tracker did.

After 3 Service Requests and 3 phone calls with tier 2 officers. I called today and they just approved my EAD and AP today and told me over the phone. Card has been sent to the printer. 

 

Finally after 124 days!!  Online status still says case received.

How do you speak to a Tier 2 offer, my SR has been assigned to an officer and completed but still no change

I just call the customer service line and ask to speak to tier 2 and the reason is that it's been pending for x many days and I need an update.

EAD  and AP Combo card received today :) 

First Status changed to card received = 8 days.

Total days = 100

 

Pointers:-

  1. If EAD and AP both are filed concurrently, status of AP may or may not change. Rely only on the EAD status. More often than not you'll get a combo card. 
  2. 2 NOAs (for EAD and for AP if filed) arrive within a week after your status changes to New card is being produced.
  3. Card will arrive usually within a week of status changing to 'Card was mailed'. It comes from Missouri , so considering distance and holidays, approx a week.
  4. Please register for USPS Informed delivery emails. That way you can track any incoming USCIS letters. USPS notification will come the same day around 8 am as the day of delivery. 
  5. EAD card can be tracked under USPS packages. It comes as Priority mail. It will show on the dashboard as coming from 'USCIS LEES MO'. You can track and find the exact date of delivery.

Also Note:

  • Follow up on the SRs atleast twice a week. But they are unreliable. My case was approved and status of 2 raised SRs still remain unassigned. 
  • Take help of L2 officers when in doubt.
  • Contact Congressman of your area ( street and zip code specific) on the 88/89th day. They take 2-3 days to get back in touch so just have some buffer time. 

All the best to all :) God is working, hang in there!

So it looks like times are running around 120-125 days for approval of EAD right now (with or without issuing an SR). 

 

Today the I-131 status was updated to Approved as well. Now we wait for the NOAs and then the card.

Two more status changes: For the first one, I received an email indicating an update for the EAD. The EAD status changed from New Card Is Being Produced to Card Is Produced and Ready for Mailing. By the time I got to the website to see the details, the status had changed again to "Card Was Mailed To Me" (followed by the associated email a few minutes later). So I will expect my wife to receive the card within the next week!
