Thanks! I hope I receive the physical card shortly. My approval date was 02/18. 

Approval date was 2/18 or recieved date? 2/18 approval date would be 5 months approval to card which is insane.

Sorry, I meant 2/18 Received Date. 7/24 Approval Date.

Ah so you mean your 765 and 131 was approved, not that your combo card is being produced. Sorry for the mixup.

Just got my new biometrics appointment for entire family. August 5, ASC Philadelphia. Original date March 26.

What was your NOA 1 date? When did you file?

EB AOS receipt date February 24. Or do you mean something different?

Don't feel bad at all. Of course we all want to see people succeeding but I feel you. We filed our case in late february and had to resend everything in mid march due to new docs and still haven't heard anything since then. It is so frustrating.. I am calling USCIS today. Can't wait to start working and being in this limbo is the worst. 

Hopefully we’ll get an update soon! Also hoping the call was helpful for your case. I was planning to call them but I gave up 😅 It’s just so frustrating to not hear anything about mine and I’ve seen 2 April filers posted updates about theirs. This feels like the K1 process all over again! 😅

Hello everyone! I received approval for my EAD/AP combo card this morning without taking biometrics. I heard most of these cards are not mailed until biometrics are completed...but I am still glad my case is moving. 

Congratulations! When was your receipt date?

Congratulations! I'm on pins and needles. My biometrics was on 3/16. Hoping for some news soon!

 

Thank you! I’m sure you will hear soon since you’re able to get your biometrics done before everything went down due to covid. 
 

It took almost 3 weeks for me to receive my card since I got the notification that it’s on production. Let us know when you get yours. 😊

YES ! Thank god!

 

Edit: I hope that 2019 is a typo LOL

This is perhaps the biggest news most of us could hope for. A ton of people are getting EAD “approvals” that are giving false hope since biometrics are still necessary. Others are awaiting biometrics in general. It was about to be a matter of  getting biometrics next week or waiting another four months. A big sigh of relief as we now have another five weeks for biometrics to get taken and keep us moving along. Thanks for posting this!

congrats and thank you for sharing this awesome news!!! 

We are also in San Diego, and our original biometrics appointment was also on Mar 18!  I hope I can soon get my EAD approved!  

I got I-765 and I-131 approved today as well.

I didn't have my biometrics yet, and still haven't received any biometrics appointment letter yet. (Original biometrics appointment: Mar18)

I know I can't work until I get my EAD card, but I am hoping to get driver's license.

Anyone know if I can get driver's license before actual EAD card? 

[YasminJose 17]

Ead card in hand today!

 

Filed 02/5

Biometrics 03/2

Card being produced 07/1
case approved 07/7
letter of approval received 07/14
card was mailed notification 07/22
picked up by USPS 07/23

 

Does anyone have any info on how long SSN are taking to be delivered? It's the last piece of the puzzle for us.

Congrats! I used the EAD approval notice to show legal presence for the DL and real ID and they said it’s sufficient as it shows expiration date. They made me fax it over as I applied about 2 months ago and they were waiting for me to verify legal presence before issuing the card. I hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing your experience!

I will try talking to DMV then!!!

Oh wow I see that people who have July 7th EAD approvals (and did Biometrics already) are getting their cards mailed! I hope I'm next. I'm in that July 7th pool of approval too! Congrats @YasminJose and @RubiCali! 🤠🙌🏿
