I applied for greencard and EAD. I received a notice receipt for both, but for EAD the website didn’t update anything else besides “we sent you a receipt” and that was back in January 2020. Whereas, for AOS around April, they said my case is ready to be scheduled for interview. The thing is when I applied, I already got an EAD from Optional Practical Training, which is granted by my school. But now that it expired, I still didn’t hear anything back, despite submitting a outside of normal processing time request on the website. What should I do?

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

Thanks.  Thread is moved from General Immigration Discussion to the "AOS from WS&T Visas" Case Progress subforum, to be among similar topics.

Try to contact your local senator and congressman for them to do an inquiry with USCIS on your behalf. Check the senator/congressman website and look for something like "help with a federal agency"

 

Also try to contact the ombudsman, see attached

 

The other thing you can do is call the USCIS 1800 number when you get a representative to transfer you to a level 2 officer to explain the delay for your EAD card.

 

Good luck
