It's a combo card. On ours, the status only updated for one of them on the website but we got the card for both. That seems to be the norm for most others also.

That’s encouraging!

 

they are processed independently though so I’m not holding my breath but I do thank you!

I requested an expedite on August 20th (near abouts) on April 23rd my case stated “we have completed your expedite request” I haven’t heard anything since! I recieved no mail, no email - nothing! My case is still at “case received” 

 

I think I’m probably the earlist date filer to have not recieved any news (Recieved date April 2nd) 

 

I really think that something has been lost or misplaced! I’ll take your advice and hold off calling them until I’m out of processing times. 

 

I’m getting really fed up.

If you haven't done so, I suggest to check the status of your cases in the DHS website:  https://myaccount.uscis.dhs.gov

All of my cases in the USCIS website (https://egov.uscis.gov/) are still "Case Received"  but they are all up to date in the DHS website

I have been checking both websites! Both still on “case recieved” unfortunately

Finally an update!!

 

Just recieved a notification “request for initial evidence” 

 

Still no update on my EAD/AP but at this point I’ll take any kind of movement! 

 

Almost had a heart attack when I recieved the text! I have a job interview in a couple hours and was excited to be going to it with an approved EAD. Oh well!

Great news!  It's an indication that they are actively working on your case now.   All the best on your interview!

I just saw many June filers got their EAD and they are from Europe. I am thinking maybe USCIS makes people from European get their EAD quicker than other countries, which is disgusting. Totally unfair. GC process is not fair and EAD process is not fair either, not depending on the date you sent in.

I think it’s just minor lost count. Spring - Summer filers.

I just got a notification that they are producing my new EAD card! I finally work.

I am right. It takes 15 weeks after biometrics (without RFE)

 

I still couldn't believe this!!!

Congrats!  My Biometrics appointment was May 24 and EAD approved Sept 21 so yeah around 15-16 weeks.

Guess again! I’m from the UK and I haven’t received mine.

You got RFE, that also will pause EAD. 

 

I have nothing against european, I just think they process EAD and GC not fairly by the date we sent in. Some people filed behind me already got their GC and my case didn’t move a bit. It is so frustrating. 

GC has to depend on your local office, which is not fair either, because it is federal government, why should be depending on where you live? Isn’t that ridiculous some people just wait 3 months and others have to wait a year or longer to get GC?! EAD are processed in NBC, everyone in the same place, but they still approve people behind me. I just don’t get it. It is totally unfair. 

Apparently, we can’t do anything. Ugh

My RFE for green card will affect my EAD??? Really? I thought they were separate. 

 

Can anyone shed shed light on this?? 

 

Well, like I said - my recieved date was April 2nd and I only received an RFE today. Still no EAD/AP update! So If they are approving Europeans quicker then others - they missed me out! Haha

Yes. An RFE will put a pause on your application until it is resolved. Sometimes, it resets the clock. 

We got an RFIE and thankfully, it did not reset the clock. Our EAD came in about a week ago. I wouldn't fret. I'd reply the RFE as quick as you can.

Ah okay! Thanks! I will reply as soon as I receive the letter explaining what it is! Hopefully it’s something easily resolved.

 

I received an RFE 8 and a half months after submitting my K1 too! Government forms clearly aren’t for me!
