How long from Card is being produced to receiving your EAD in the mail?

 

 

I haven't received my card yet but this morning, the status changed to Card Was Produced and the case is now closed. 

 

I'm guessing I'll receive my EAD in the next week or so!

Hello, I checked the case status for the I-485, and they scheduled biometrics... we still haven't received any physical notices in the mail, not even the NOA 1, how long does it take?

I took a look at your timeline and looks like we both sent the package on the same week. I got my biometrics appointment scheduled yesterday too! 
 

USCIS received my package on November 29th and I got the firsts physical NOA Monday Dec 5th. I would recommend you to ask Emma about it on the USCIS website.

Hey guys, do k1 visa holders have an A number?

Is A number same as USCIS account number? 

There are sections in the form where they are asking for the US citizen partner's A number too, but is this something everyone has in the states?

Yes you should do, it is on the K1 NOA2 for me (in the beneficiary box), looks like A### ### ###.

How are you dealing with the EAD wait? @Nylar

 

I've received no update since expediting on the 2nd December.

The boredom is really setting in, annoying having to turn down job offers because of no certainty when I will get my EAD. 😞

 

I ended up sending an expedite this morning, not expecting anything to come from it but that won't stop me applying again and again until they give in. Did you get a confirmation email from them after you expedited or has it been complete radio silence since the 2nd?

Ah man. Yeah it sucks. I have a job offer from November - they're waiting patiently for me though. 😃

 

Nice one on the expedite. 

 

I didn't receive a confirmation email. I was surprised by that. But it's clearly in their system - I spoke to AskEmma today for an update, here's what they shared: 

 

 

Not sure what to make of 'should'.

Hopefully if they do respond it is positive 🤞. Interesting that you said your application will soon be out of the normal processing time, isn't that months away?

Ah that was a mistake. I copied someones AskEmma message from this Reddit thread!

Update: I received my EAD and SSN today! 

 

From biometrics till having the EAD and SSN in my hands only took 1 week (Dec 5 - biometrics). I'm honestly quite shocked by how quickly it got processed but nonetheless very grateful and glad I got it this fast. Hopefully everyone who's still waiting will get theirs soon!! 🙏🤞

 

Also, I did apply for AP as well but it didn't get approved with my EAD - still pending.

My mom also received SSN today but not the EAD yet, status was Card Was Produced on December 10th so hoping it comes in the mail soon.

I'm still waiting on my biometrics! How do you know if your case is outside processing times??

You can check on the USCIS website what the processing times are but for EAD at NBC it is 8.5 months. I'm surprised you haven't had your appointment yet, have you tried calling them up?
