Approval Time/Estimations Information

[TwoSwifts 11]

Hello Everyone,

I know not everyone's case or circumstances are the same. As well, processing centers I'm certain run on different intervals as well. I simply wanted to provide some information that might be helpful/reassuring for you. As of yesterday 4/10, my wife and I received notification that her I-765 (EAD) application was "Approved". We submitted on January 14th of 2025 (Along with the I-485, I-130, and I-131). Her first biometrics was on 2/28, however we got recalled due to her fingerprints and had a second biometrics on 3/20. Based on those calculations, her I-765 was approved in 86 days. I full believe it would have been less (65 days or so) had we not had to go back for the 2nd biometrics. That alone delayed things 3 weeks. At any rate, I know my commentary may not speak to every situation, but if you're looking for some generalities for time frames, I thought you might like to hear about our outcome. We're excited that she will soon be able to work, drive and feel more included here in the US. Onward and forward!!
