After waiting 217 days my EAD finally arrived in the mail today! Thank you for everyone that shared their experiences so I didn’t feel so alone in the world. I’m also hoping that everyone who has been waiting even longer than I have will get their cards soon!

It's Finally Here!
Been lurking here for some time now. My EAD finally came in. I was just a little over 30 days b4 my 180 days extension were up. Here's my timeline below.

Filed: November third week
Receipt notice: December 2ND
Nothing since the Receipt
SR raised: April 3Rd week
SR was finally answered on May 24th
Same day EAD was approved
Got the card exactly after a week

It took about 190 days b4 I received the card. It was very frustrating. I was getting ready to visit the local office, and get in touch with a Senator from my State. I was getting ready to lose my job. It was a complete nightmare.

One thing that really helped me was turning to God. I don't I have ever prayed like I did everyday since this crap has started.

Don't give up hope, those of u who r waiting. It will come. Believe in yourself and keep pushing forward.

Good luck!!!

Tier 2 is unaware of my case is being expedited
The congressman who is helping me with my EAD expediting request received the following last week:

"Thank you for your inquiry regarding this constituent’s immigration matter. This case will be routed for expedited processing. Once this case is reviewed, your constituent will receive a decision or notice of further action. Due to the extremely high volume of expedite requests for this case type, there are numerous cases involving exigent or humanitarian issues already in the expedite queue, and we are unable to provide a specific timeframe for the expedited review. The strict enforcement of the expedite criteria means that all cases sent for expeditious handling are urgent, and we assure you that this case will be adjudicated as soon as possible.”

Today I called a Tie 2 USCIS (fist time) and asking about the process and the Tie 2 was not able to find any record that the case is being expedited. Is this normal?
The expiration date of my current work authorization is cutting close and now I am very anxious.

Question on EAD renewal - please advise
I have an L2 EAD expiring this September. I also received EAD + AP based on the 485 application filed for my husband. The EAD + AP is expiring this August. Question is when I apply for EAD + AP renewal, can I continue working. Any inputs will be really appreciated.

EAD renewal received - A18
Dear friends

I have been regularly going thru the posts and experiences shared over the last few months. Time to share mine

Category : A18
Documents for EAD renewal sent on 16th March
Docs received by Texas Center on 19th March and docs redirected to Vermont
Notice Date : 23rd March
Radio silence since 23rd March until 5th June
Checked status on 6th June which was updated to " new card being produced"

Roughly took 70 days for the renewal to happen. This was the second renewal for me. I got RFE in my first renewal process , so was anxious this time.

It seems Vermont center is doing better than some of the other centers (that is just my observation)

All the best to folks who are waiting for their EADs to come.

Ombudsman office
Ombudsman says they have no info about my case when they sent me two email saying they are still waiting for response from USCIS. Now they lost the communications between me and them. If this is the office that supposed to stand up for us is doing this, then no surprise USCIS is doing worse.
