September 2018 AOS Filers

Hello! 

We are still waiting on the combo card, via post. Is this out of the normal time frame to receive the card? I've been reading some of the posts and it seems that other have gotten their card within 5-10 business days.

EAD/AP Timeline

Online Case Update: Feb. 14,

NOA2: Feb. 19th via the update

Should I call or make an online inquiry?

Hi, it took about 5 days for the card to be changed to "card has been mailed" for us. After the initial approval app update, the status changed to card is being produced and stayed there for 2 days, after those 2 days it changed to in the mail. However, the status wasn't accurate. When I called to get tracking info the day it changed, they couldnt provide it because in fact it wasn't shipped yet. A day later though I called again and got the tracking, took 3 days in the mail for us. So in total about 7 business days from EAD approval to Card in hand. 

So did you see ‘case was approved’ status before ‘card is being produced’?

Hey guys

 

Relatively new to the forum! I’m at my wits end with this paperwork!

 

My story:

In Minnesota

Filed I-485, I-131, I-785 on September 12

Received on September 14

Biometrics completed on October 8

All cases are MSC - National Benefits Center

 

And I’ve heard nothing since 🙄

 

Stupidly booked to go on holiday with my husbands family next month for a destination wedding, doesn’t look so hopeful now.

 

Hmph!

On the update that says “Card has been mailed to me”, there is a line that says if you do not receive the card by a certain date, you can request for a new card to be mailed to you. My card was approved on 2/18, card in production on 2/20, mailed to me on 2/21 and received on 2/23. The update on mine said that if I don’t receive card by March 8, I should click on the link provided. Yours should have that too.

We never received any other update online besides that our "case approved" from Feb. 14. We received a paper confirmation of approval on Feb. 19th. So we are still waiting for the other updates as well.

Oh, so in that case you are well within your window to call and inquire. The upside is you know your case has been approved. It’s just frustrating that you don’t have any other update and have the card in your hands yet.  Best of luck to you! I hope it starts moving soon. Keep us posted!

Yes. That was the first status update we received.

I just went online to make a case inquiry about a missing or non delivered card. Then I saw this note. 

 

NOTE: Do not submit a request if you have just recently been approved, allow approximately 120 days to receive your new card. You can check the status of your case using the My Case Status Tool. If Case Status Online indicates that the card was mailed, you should be provided with a United States Postal Service tracking number.

 

120 days?! I hope to doesn't take that long!

What does your tracking number state on your status? Is it on the way?

Honestly, I am in that boat as well. We have been approved but no update on card production or process. Some people says 10-14 days, some posts on this thread are less, around 5-7 days. I have been waiting almost 3 weeks since our approval and according to the case inquiry page, I have to wait 120 days before we submit a case inquiry

Status hasn't change on either the old website or the new website. Old website says "case approved," from Feb. 14th. New website says "case received" from Sept. 7th.

Then you will just have to wait until it does and provides you with your tracking number. Should not be long though and if it ends up being a few weeks, you can call.
