Well the good news is we are officially moving there in 2 weeks, and already have some mail going there. I was hoping to get the combo card before heading down from ND. Was wondering if anyone else has moved and had an improvement on wait times from St Paul?

Btw, I just checked the data on the official web, shows that Colorado is even more slower than Minnesota...

I'm in the state of shock! My EAD card is being produced!!! Took a little bit over 4 months. 💜It's just hard to believe...

Also, your EAD is coming from the National Benefits Center, so your local office won't have any bearing on that.  I'm sure it can't be TOO much longer, though...

 

Good luck on your move!  Colorado is so beautiful :)

Hey Guys,

 

I feel like since I’ve left home everything is falling apart :(

 

In April I was successful in getting emergency AP as my Gran was admitted to hospital and given weeks to live. I managed to get emergency AP by getting an info pass appointment at my local office (Detroit)

 

On Friday my uncle passed away. I called USCIS this morning so I could expedite my case based on the grounds of “family death”. The guy on the phone was really helpful, he gave me a case/reference number and said I’d here back within 10 days. He also said I will have to provide evidence. Has anyone else been in this kind of situation? Do you think I will hear back in 10 days or will it be longer? What should I expect now?

My field office is Denver. Colorado is VERY slow, you will be jealous of others who are dealing with faster locations. I am so anxious! A friend of mine filed 3 years ago, and it tool him a whole year to be approved. The processing time is getting longer and longer each year, so I am expecting mine to take... 1.5 years or so? Hopefully not that long though. *sigh*

 

Positive side is that Colorado is really very so pretty and there are tons of outdoor attractions to enjoy while waiting;)

I'm just enthusiastic to start a career and earn some money again, all this waiting around is a little painful! The EAD shouldn't expire before the Green Card is issued though?

For some people, your EAD will expire before your green card. 
U just have to make sure you get in your application for renewal- at least it is free with your AOS NOA1

I believe so. If it is going to expire before your GC is approved, you can also renew your EAD. (Someone corrects me if I'm wrong.)

 

I have an expired H1B, which is being extended by the employer. So I am working. I understand the frustration of not being able to work on your career... It would be stressful to be stuck at home:( 

 

My EAD was approved just yesterday. Hopefully yours come soon too.

Just renew it way before your EAD expires (I think you can renew 180 days before it expires), so you can renew your driver's license and I-9 without headaches.
