It’s crazy guys! Yesterday morning I was so sad and desperate you should see me (I have reasons to travel), I found this topic, thank you JloveN 👏 and joined you guys!

 

And yesterday evening (same day!) I was sitting on the bench and decided to check my status and Oh My God!!!!! It was approved! 😍  🤸‍♀️

Congratulations! Guess they're in that range now. Between March 31 and April.

Guys, I've got my EAD & AP combo card as well as the SSN today 9/18/2018...

 

...BUT at our PREVIOUS address mailbox!!! @.@ LUCKILY, somehow we did manage to get them from the old apartment mailbox which was 15 mins away from where we are currently living. Therefore, I'd strongly recommend that, in case you are about to move and you're 100% sure of the new address where you're moving to, you should start to submit the address change request online 7 days before your actual moving date so the new address can be completely updated into USCIS system, thus to avoid such terrible inconvenience as shared above.

 

Below is my journey obtaining the EAD, AP & SSN so far. Next chapter, Green Card! 

 

For those awaiting for your EAD & AP card, just be patient and optimistic, they'll be coming very soon, surprisingly!

How long did they usually have the EAD valid for?

Yes,  they arrived in two envelopes at the same time. But I've heard some people got the EAD card before the SSN. You'd better check it with SSA just in case.

Yes. I checked with SSA and they said it has not generated yet. Waiting for one more week then i will apply for SSN.

 

Thanks for the quick reply.

It will come....dont worry!

My offer has been rescinded as of today. It’s a bummer to lose an opportunity because my EAD is taking forever.

Can’t you ask them to give you an offer letter and you can expedite it?

Expedite doesn't really helps. I tried doing that last August 30, still no decision with the expedite until now so I made a follow up.

 

I called USCIS regarding that and he said to "wait".  I was told the same thing like 3 weeks ago that they're currently working on it. (scripted I guess)

 

It's really frustrating!
