This looks like it is for OPT EADs rather than AOS EADs. From what I remember when I was on OPT the processing times (and potentially the office handling the cases?) were different. 

I thought the same but that’s what it says in their FAQ: „The data is only for I-765s. YSC series tracking numbers also contain other types of forms e.g. I-130, I-601A etc, those are filtered out. I make no differentitation between the Initial OPT cases and STEM Extensions, the data you see is combined (initial+stem). Unfortunately the data taken from USCIS is also not enough to determine whether the I-765s are only OPT or not. Other applicants that also use I-765 for employment authorization include asylum seekers, H4 holders etc. Asylum Seekers have a relatively shorter processing time. USCIS' website does not have any information to indicate that there is any difference in processing time of other non-OPT I-765s and OPT I-765s.“

 

so I figured it is for all I-765 because they can’t distinguish between the different I-765 applications. But maybe I am just grasping straws here.

I don’t know how accurate/trustworthy this tracker is, but according to the graph they are currently shipping out June 15th approvals. https://opttimeline.com ( you have to choose shipping status). So I’m keeping my hopes up that we get our cards next week. As for my Notices of Approval, I just accepted they are lost and I’ll request a duplicate when the deadline has passed.

Thanks foe the info and let us keep our fingers crossed! This week is our week, lets claim it!

Right but they are all YSC which is the Potomac service center. If your receipt number begins with something else then this website isn’t relevant. All they are doing is scraping YSC data off the USCIS website...I haven’t seen anything similar for MSC receipts.

Thanks for clarifying that. I may have misunderstood the data pool they are using. However, even if this is not for MSC receipts, I still hope next week is the week

Does any other person get this error message when they try to check the status of their case on USCIS website

Thanks.

For some weird reason, I can't access it from Chrome. I had to use Firefox.

When was it “approved”? Haven’t seen any movement on our end for our approved EAD since 6/18

Hmm I think my case jumped from "Fingerprints were taken" to "Card Produced"...

I would send USCIS a letter explaining that the SS department wants you to mail them the Card and ask them if there is anyway they can order the SS number from their side given the covid circumstances.    They should be able to submit tue request from there side and save the risk.    Or call them and discuss what they can do from their side as if you would have checked the box originally. 

This is a good suggestion! I will try it. Thanks so much!

No clue why but in most cases the approved update comes after the card produced update 🤷‍♀️

I think it was a mistake...

It's not a mistake. Like I said that's common

That’s true. My wife’s status at first was “new card being produced” then hours later it changed to “case was approved”. And it has been sitting like that for 11 days now. I hope she gets it in time before the start date of her job.
