I just got my EAD approved! After 140 days! What's your experience, when can I expect the card in the mail? They really should reimburse us for shattering our nerves.

I fully agree!!  It's a long time to wait, and the not knowing is the hardest part!  Congrats!

Update: last week I got an email update saying there were no updates to my file since May 17th.  This email update was received AFTER my interview on May 24th.  Then this update disappeared from my file, but received an email today saying my EAD and or combo card is being produced.  Now I know from other people here, that this really should say my Green card is being produced since I already had my interview.

 

There is one thing that is clear- the system is just all over the place and trying to figure it out is futile :-)  The only email that you can count on is the one that says your card is being produced!

 

My approval was 130 days after they received my AOS package.  I know I am very lucky to get my Green Card so early.  This is out of the Philly Office which has a current estimate of 9.5-19 months.  So the information isn't always right, for any of those that are trying to figure our when they will get their cards. 

 

Good luck to everyone!  I hope you all get your cards very soon.

@Aker Yes the online system is seriously flawed and needs to be fixed.  They hired Billy Bobs cousin and paid him millions to code it and guess what....it doesn't work!!  In any case congrats on getting your GC in a timely fashion.  Crazy to think someone would wait 19 months to get their card.  Our local office is saying 11-17 months but with the EAD already mailed out it's not that big of a deal.

Hey guys,

 

It's been over 2 weeks since our (horrible!) interview, and we still haven't received an RFE or NOID in the mail. Is that normal? Should it be here by now? I'm a bit worried because have been notified by both a credit card company and my mom that *some* of our mail has been returned as undeliverable, but I have also been receiving some mail just fine. I've never had an issue with receiving USCIS mail either (so I know they have the correct address). I tried calling them to ask them if they tried mailing us anything, but all I have been getting is automated responses. Any advice?

Do they give you a USPS tracking number for EAD? Does someone have to be home to recieve it? Just wodering so we don't miss the card

Hi KB2015, 

 

They didnt give me a number. The email notification said there was no number available so I just had to wait. 

 

You dont have to be home to receive the letter so dont worry. 

 

Hope you get your card soon!

I had an *horrible* interview as well. My case finally got updated a month later. Im guessing they need to take time to “investigate” or dobackground check, name check etc to make decision. After interview, I was handed out a paper stating they had 120 day period to make any decision. So stay put. You can try to call to check with ur status but they might say the same thing.

Hi!

Have you heard anything about your I485?

I believe you also experienced the user define error? and we are both from the same local office.

thanks
