I called earlier today and I got text saying my card is being produced a few minutes ago! If it has been past the 75 day mark, you should give them a call!! 

Just called them, no change in my case and since I got a RFIE it paused my case for 11 days so I haven't really got up to the 75 day point yet.. sigh. I'll go check the mail next.

Great news!!

Last night at 9:30p Et I got a text and email saying that my wifes I-765 and I-131 were updated. At USCIS.gov it said that her EAD card is in production and will be mailed!! Woo hoo!!

 

For those of you that have already received your card how long did it take from when you were notified until you actually received the card in the mail??

 

For those of you still waiting hang in there. We filed 11/3. So you all should be getting good news soon!!

Congratulations!!! We received the Combo Card just 5 days after approval.

So your i-485 RFIE led to a pause in your EAD case too? Or was it just your i-485 that was paused for 11 days?

Hello guys 

im in the same boat l, I mailed my package 9/28 got a RFE on 11/1, biometrics done on 11/7 and I haven’t get any updates since. 

Ps: they received my response to RFe and updated online theb11/13, but i still didn’t get any info about EAd card

Yep, still says 'fingerprint fee was received'. Doesn't even mention the RFIE, and like you I responded to the RFIE already and had biometrics last month.

Just noticed from case status that the person with receipt number next to be got an update "case is ready for an interview" but mine is still "fingerprint fee was received" so I guess ours should receive an update in like a month.

[Mr_Bridge 20]

Quick question everyone. 

 

In regards to the EAD, my first update after they received our application was "Card is in Production".  However, I see that others get a message saying that their I-765 is "Approved" followed by another message a day or two later that it has been "Mailed". 

 

Is there a difference?  Should I assume that our EAD was approved since card is in production? Sounds like a silly question but I just find it odd.

Yes as far as I understood her. But then again, I didn't speak to a supervisor, just the regular phone person and they just read stuff from a script which is often wrong. We have had personal experience with this, we have spoken to a regular phone person before who say one thing, we call again and talk to a supervisor who says the opposite thing and they are right.

I ask this every time I call and they have always told me that an RFIE for our 485 does not pause or hold up our EAD or AP.   

 

I always ask a couple of times.   I can’t imagine We have gotten the incompetent employee every time we have called.

It looks like we were among the lucky ones!  AOS/EAD/AP applications delivered to USCIS 11/14/17.  EAD/AP Combo card received 01/20/18!  Somehow, our case has moved faster than average through every step of this process, so I'm going to remain optimistic that the same will happen for AOS.  Fingers crossed! ... Or, Dedos cruzados as my husband taught me en Español

 

I wish I could get some information on processing times for Fort Myers FL field office.  It's a relatively new office, about 2 years old as I understand it, and even though it's listed on USCIS' field offices page, it's not available in the drop down list on the USCIS processing times page.  Equally frustrating is the fact that VJ also doesn't list this office on their website.  It's presumably a catch-22 where VJ maybe doesn't show it because no one has entered any statistics for that office, but until that office is added to VJ, no one CAN add any statistics for it.  

 

I've tried letting both USCIS and VJ know about this missing office, but neither one responds to my inquiries. :/

When was your biometrics done?  The posts of people getting their EAD/AP approved is getting closer and closer to the date we filed.    

 

Cancel that.   After I posted I checked your timeline.   

 

We were 11/27 and 12/26.   Can’t wait.  It’s so satisfying to reach a step in the ladder.     We are in west palm.   Hope things go well for you in fort Myers.
