  • I forget who said it but I think it was 3-4 days? (two days till they mail it and two days to get to you). I'm not sure if they meant business days tho cause I got my "new card is being produced" notice last Thursday and they haven't mailed it yet.
    I did call the USCIS and they said it might take up to 60 days!?!?!?!? Very discouraging

      I don?t think it?s worth it either to spend the extra money for OPT when you can most likely to get the combo card by end of this year.
      Thanks! I moved to this thread because July filers are not as active, as June's.

      I was planning to not go back to school after I sent my application, but then decided that It is better to graduate sooner than later, the amount of money that I'm going to save is not worth the wait.

      But for the OPT I do agree, I will just wait for my work permit (I didn't apply for AP). And this leads to another question... I didn't apply for Advanced Parole, I thought I was not going to need it. Will the EAD card include both a work permit and Advanced Parole, or just work permit, as I only sent the I-765 and not the I-131????

      Let's keep hoping and praying for a fast turn out.

      • I'm not sure about AP..
        But depending on your case you could apply for in-state tuition! Thats what I did and am now paying in state tuition (HUGE money saver)

          Really? that's amazing. I will try to talk to my advisor again, I told her about my situation and she said NO, UNLESS MY GC IS APPROVED. But I live in Louisiana, every state is different, still will talk to them tomorrow, I'm paying on installments because it is a lot of money that I really don't have an my partner is loaning/donating me.

          • I have called USCIS this morning and they have put a service request for me for my i765. My case status shows fingerprint review was completed as of July 20, 2018. Anyone familar with how the service request works? I?m currently being put on suspension for my job because my OPT expires, I am desparately waiting for my EAD to get approved. Good luck everyone!

            • I took all the advice I could get from this forum! THey are extremely helpful!
              Some things I did:
              I put in the request to expedite (09/12) two days later (09/14) the USCIS sent an email saying I have to send in the fax of proof of evidence (I sent in my Job Offer and my RN license since my job offer was contingent on me getting my license).
              On 09/14 I also called my congressman who sent in a congressional inquiry the same day. Some people say calling a senator is better, but I called them on 09/20 and they still have not gotten back to me (my senator's office processes their cases before the caseworker starts working with you and it takes alot of time). Per USCFFS's advice I also mailed my proof of evidence just in case they did not receive my fax.

              On 09/27 my status changed to "new card is being produced"!

              I don't know what helped but I tried everything!! Have a job offer ready just in case USCIS asks you for proof!

                Awesome! I am glad you were proactive and tried everything. Maybe it was one thing, or the synergy of all things tried. We may never know!
                Thank you for sharing the timeline of everything you did to expedite.

                All the best!

                  No you won?t get a combo card as you did not send in the 131 but I believe you can submit I-131 now if you want. I have seen people done it in other threads.

                    This is correct, and helpful. You may submit it now. You just have to attach your I-797 I-485 pending Notice of Action.

                      • Travel abroad before AP / Combo card approved

                        Hi all ! Anyone experienced if we travel abroad before AP approved, then it?s approved during you abroad and your family mails it to you to re-enter US. Is that ok ? Please advise. Your response on the matter is highly appreciated. Thanks

                          I would not risk it, unless it is a life or death situation. In that case you might be able to expedite it. But more experienced filers might be more helpful.

                              as far as i have read, you cannot leave country before the ap approval date. It may looked upon as abandoning of your application and you may not be able to re enter. Pls consult an attorney before you make this move .

                              • Hopefully you hear some good news today!!

                                Question: How long does it take for the information to pop on informed delivery. My status changed yesterday (it has been 24 hrs) and I still have nothing. I purchased something online and the moment I purchased it, it popped on my informed delivery site.
