Are people lying on here?! Lol

[Jamie and Richard 26]

We finally filed our AOS with EAD and AP. I came on here to check how long everyone’s EAD is taking to get a guesstimate, but still refer to USCIS processing times on their site. I see people are getting approved for their EAD in a 3 months or less, some I’m seeing as a little as a month?! Are people lying on here or is USCIS skipping to the back of the line to improve their processing times?

See ppl where?

In YOUR monthly AOS filing forum?

OR in a forum that is totally unrelated to your filing category and therefore, has no relevance to your timeline?

USCIS has appeared to have shifted to a last in first out process for process for most types of petitions.

A few people seem to get them super quick and most do not.

 

I do not know why some get them super quick. If there is a pattern I have not seen it.

if you ask 100 people they all will have 100 different timelines for EAD. so they are not lying. cause uscis processing in a random order

I seem to see it with 2023 filers

I think I started seeing mentions at the beginning of the year plus of course a lot of well we filed at the same time and how come they got it quick and we did not .

 

As you would expect

Unless USCIS issues an RFIE, I just don't understand why some EADs are approved in 3 months and other take 8 months.  I see no logic or reason....but, apparently, there is wide disparity sometimes.

Makes sense. Seems like more of the same with USCIS.

I agree. I do wish there was an explanation, but there never is with this process.

What benefit would there be for lying? 

Mine took 25 days, literally got it the day I got biometrics. I don't know why it happened, I didn't need it that fast. Took my friend a year. I also know people who filed after me and already got their greencard, but it's weird to come to a conclusion that they'd potentially be liars

USCIS is just a mess.

Remember that these are statistical - specifically the time taken for 80% of cases over the past six months.

 

So 20% of applicants will have longer wait times but the majority will have shorter ones. Plus as Mike has said it seams USCIS has started doing LIFO now.

Its probably because they dont see anything wrong with their cases thats why some are getting approved quicker than others

My EAD took 11 1/2 months......  oh well, it is what it is, at least we got it
