EAD combo card taking over a year

[emixkid 48]

Hello, all. So, I filed my I-485, I-131, and I-765 on July 8, 2020. My wife, the one adjusting status, only recently had her Biometrics appointment on August 20, 2021. About a week after, my case status for I-485 changed to “Ready to Be Scheduled for an Interview”. I understand that there could be a long wait to get the actual interview scheduled. However, I was wondering if my wife’s EAD combo card would come anytime soon. I checked the case processing time for I-765 in California, and it was 6.5-14.5 months. We would actually hit the 14.5-month mark at the end of this month. I was planning to file an e-request if nothing updates by October 1. Do you think this would help expedite her EAD combo card issuance?

You lose nothing filing an e-request when the time comes. Hopefully that will trigger an approval -if it's not already in the process-.

 

Truly sorry you've waited for this long. 

Best wishes!

Check the I-765 and I-131 receipt notices. It should say "National Benefits Center." I-765 and I-131 are adjudicated at NBC.

 

Your wife can submit an inquiry today because it's already way past the NBC processing times: https://egov.uscis.gov/processing-times/ 9 Months to 9.5 Months  Based on a pending I-485 adjustment application [(c)(9)]

Thank you! I found out that the processing time changed from 6-13.5 months, so I submitted an e-request just now. Got an email confirmation that said they will reply by 9/26/21, so fingers crossed…
