hello dear group, does anybody knows how long is it taking nowadays to receive the i797c for ead renewal?

Took 30 days for me. 

Divorced US citizen spouse in December 2017. 

Filed I-360 on Nov 12, 2019

Filed I485/ C31 EAD / AP in Feb 2020 (Stupid lawyer filed C31 instead of C9, and I didnt know EAD codes, didnt know about this VJ forum either)

On H1b status since 2014, H1b 6 years expired in May 2020. Out of status / Period of authorized stay since then. 

Amended EAD petition to C9 and filed expedite request for same in mid-may 2020. 

C9 EAD approved June 4, 2020. 

Biometrics done in Oct 2020. 

I485 case transferred to NBC for "faster processing" on September 30, 2020

Filed C9 EAD / AP Renewal petition in February 2021. 

Initial Advance Parole (from Feb 2020 application) approved in June 2021. 

C31 EAD production update - Nov 1st, 2021. 

C31 card delivered to attorney's office on Nov 8, 2021. 

I-360 case approved status update - Nov 22, 2021. 

No RFE throughout.  

Senator's office confirmed via congressional inquiry that the St. Louis office has received the I485 file and is currently awaiting interview scheduling - March 7, 2022

C9 EAD renewal card production case update - July 20, 2022 (took them just 17 months to process)

C9 EAD / AP renewal approval case update on both cases on July 21, 2022.

Combo card delivered to attorney's office on July 27, 2022

Medical exam RFE Drama: Second congressional inquiry sent in early July 2022 for I485. USCIS responded on 8/12/22 to this congressional inquiry that they issued an RFE on 5/24/22 and were waiting for my response. My lawyer denied receiving RFE and there was no such update on online USCIS portal. Lawyer's old firm was safe mailing address on my case. Lawyer changed firms a year after I hired her but did not change mailing address for my case with USCIS, she said she had a deal with her old firm to forward all her clients' mail to her new firm. Old firm denied receiving RFE. Sent another congressional inquiry requesting copy of RFE on 8/17/22. I also got medical exam done on 8/17/22 as I assumed RFE was for medical exam (thanks for this forum's insights.) Yelled at lawyer and threatened her with dire consequences. On 8/18/22 my lawyer's old firm finally found scanned copy of RFE in their "archived scans" (whatever the duck that is) and emailed it to me. It was indeed RFE requesting medical exam. On 8/20/22 I mailed medicals sealed packet with copy of RFE to St. Louis field office. Also sent a notarized letter with the packet - updating safe mailing address to my home address and informing St. Louis field office that I fired my lawyer. Sent similar letter to Vermont Service Center on the same date. 

8/23/22 - Fedex confirmed delivery of medicals packet to St. Louis Field Office. 

8/26/22: Case update on I485: New Card Is Being Produced

8/29/22:  On August 29, 2022, we approved your Form I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR ADJUST STATUS

9/3/22 green card delivered to attorney's office (they didn't change safe mailing address despite my written requests to FO AND VSC.) 

9/6/22 VSC returned AR11 and my letter requesting safe mailing address change. In their letter they said something to the effect of "you can do this online, we wont do it via snail mail request etc." Just posting as an FYI, its weird. Also received I485 approval notice on the same date.

Hope everyone is doing great, really happy seeing all approvals. Those are waiting, i will keep you in my prayers. 

asking for the friend. 

 

What are the consequence of working without EAD? He had F1 EAD prior and during his marriage, his wife made him lost his job and status both, he filed VAWA but now working with his SSN and getting paid by payroll, honestly dont know how but for few months already doing this, just got to know about it. Will it cost him dearly? I asked him to stop working till get his EAD but damage is already done. TIA

If he filed vawa and concurrently filed for work permit, he should wait for it to work lawfully.

Working without a permit is unlawful. Tell your friend to respect the laws of the country he is seeking to stay in legally. He can apply for government benefits with prima facie meanwhile.

Hello dear group.  Can  everyone tell me which date of I 360 they working right now Bcz I  was apply my case sine dec. 2019  . 
and also I apply my work permit for renewal. In March 2021  I ma still waiting.  I lost my job. I ma so sad 

Most recent approval I know of on the forum was from nov 12, 2019 - my case. Unless you got an rfe previously, you should definitely hear something (hopefully approval, of course) in a month or two. 

 

As to EAD renewal, they are taking as long as they can in many cases, like 13 months. I applied for renewal for c9 EAD in Feb 2021. Even sent expedite request last week for c9 ead. (I got the c31 card production update on Monday Nov 1st). 

 

Please consider sending expedite request based on USCIS expedite criteria for the C9 EAD, link for criteria is below. You can try financial losses as a criterion, for example.

Hi MGJ_NY 

Where you called to redo your medical or was your previous one still in date after the changed the validity of them? I will be thinking of you November 17

Hi @lonelyheartclub!

 

I didn’t receive anything about my medical but I still did it just 2 days ago, just so I’m ready ☺️. I passed my medical in 2017 before I filed VAWA. I doubt that is still valid. Thank you! I’m going by myself so I hope it will all go well 🤞🏼

Hey Everyone, 

 

Sharing my timeline in case anyone is in the same boat. I got my C31 renewed.

 Received Date - February 8th 2021

 I-797 - February 25th 2021

Card produced - October 15th 2021 

 

I applied for my I-485 on July 2020 after I-360 approval. My field office is Brooklyn, NY. Can any Brooklyn filers shed light on how long it took to get an interview date or a medicals request notice?

@Shroy123 Thank you very much for checking on me. Just logged in after a long time. My case is still pending. Funny huh?! Case approved on Sep 30 2019. Sent 2nd inquiry for congressman a few days ago. I don't know what to do at this point. God knows. . .

When did you file I-360 and when was it approved?
