E2 EAD Renewal - Vermont SC
Hello - just wanted to share my timeline with all of you still waiting out there for a little bit of hope in this absurd, obsolete and completely unethical waiting process.

Case Received on Jan 19th 2021
Receipt Notice received on March 4th (official date on file was Jan 19th)
Expedite Request denied on June 16th 2021
Case Approved on Sep. 14th 2021
Card Mailed on Sep. 15th 2021
Card received on Sep. 18th 2021

Total process --> 8 months

Tip for all E2 visa holders: if you haven't exited the territory during the pandemic yet, do it before sending your EAD request: I94 is what counts for the duration of that *** card.

Good luck to you all!

Texas center E3 EAD April 2021
I have filed my wife's E3 EAD renewal and have the receipt date as April 30th, 2021. Applied to Texas center.

Looking at the processing times for texas center, i noticed it is taking around 11months.

Can we raise a service ticket as the receipt date is more than 90 days (hear from someone we can do it)?

Is there premium processing available for E3 EAD now? If yes, can we change the application to it?

And anyone who is waiting similarly for EAD please share your timelines.

It is stressful waiting like this, dont know how this country works with USCIS working as sloths.

can USCIS return your application if filing date is current but date of action is not current
I come to know that if your EAD filing date is current and if you apply for it but if your Date of Action is not current USCIS is returning application by saying "your date of Action is not current so we are returning your file" it it true?

Any expert who have this kind of scenario /case or have some knowledge pls share.

I really appreciate in advance.

EAD RENEWAL UNDER VAWA
I filed for VAWA last year and i renewed my EAD last year September through my lawyer. Upon tracking my EAD status, it's been stuck at "Case Updated To Show Fingerprints Were Taken" since October 7, 2020. My question is: when can i expect my EAD renewal to be approved? I was married to a USC and right now i am jobless and it's been so frustrating.

E2 spouse EAD renewal
Hi there!

The California Center received my i765 (E2 spouse EAD renewal) on April 16 and still waiting.
My actual EAD is now expired and I'm working from France until I get my new card.

Would be much appreciated if you could share your experiences and since how long you've been waiting, based on E2 spouse EAD renewal :)

Thanks
Alexandra

EAD extension notice reissue
The USCIS delay is unbecoming, after the long wait for my receipt notice, the USCIS sent it to me and the USPS basically misplace this document, I saw it in my informed delivery but it was never delivered, I have been on this issue for 3 months, the USCIS are taking ages to reissue this document or at least send it in an email attachment, I waited fir 30days for their level two officer to call me and send this document only for them to say it will take a week, 3 weeks lager, now they are saying I should wait an extra 39 days again for the same department that hasn’t done anything or email the lockbox who keep ignoring my emails. I have been fired from work over this and nobody seems to be working out a resolution.

L2 EAD Renewal a(18) - Vermont Service Center
We went through the agony of applying for L2 EAD renewal in December 2020 exactly 6 months before the expiry of existing EAD and USCIS as usual messed it up royally. Sharing the timeline below:

1. Submitted renewal application package - December 22, 2020 (it beats me to understand why can't they accept the online applications and insist on filing paper ones, RIDICULOUS!!)

-------------RADIO SILENCE FOR 3 MONTHS-------------
2. Received notice from Vermont Service Center on March 23, 2021 with a receipt date of Jan 22, 2021. This was a shocker because we had proof of submitting the paperwork on December 22, 2020, at the Dallas lockbox.

3. Raised service request to have the receipt date corrected March 30, 2021 but it was denied. Totally crushed by the news and resigned to the fact of job loss

-------------RADIO SILENCE AGAIN MONTHS-------------
4. July 22, 2021 Received SMS/email that case is approved

5. July 23, 2021 Card is in production

6. July 24, 2021 Approval notice dispatched

7. July 26, 2021 Card dispatched

8. July 27, 2021 Card Received

Officially USCIS took 6 months exact to process the EAD, but for us, it took 7 months end to end.

Submit every damn document you can think of in support of the application and don't give any reason to USCIS for issuing an RFE.

Good luck
