EADs and Background Checks

[IHRL]

Hi all,

Do background checks have to clear before they can issue you your EAD/combo card? If not, is anyone else experiencing long wait times before receiving their cards?

I ask because my case is now outside of normal processing time and I have yet to receive a notice that my EAD is being processed. It also took five months for my status to update to "Case is Ready to be Scheduled for Interview."

It looks like you are in the 7% of cases for I-765. I think you need to make a query about it.

My pd is 8/24 and nothing yet.

I did. Unfortunately that SR hasn't even been sent for processing.

Still wondering if anyone has insight on the background check process; particularly whether the lack of if being completed prevents you from receiving an EAD/combo card.

I believe they do. Befor they give you the right to work and travel they want to make sure you are eligible to adjust status and stay.

Same here; 8/24. No sign yet of my EAD, very frustrated about it. Hopefully it arrives soon, even our receipt date for SR is approaching, I would not like to go thru it as some people said it can take another two weeks after raising the SR. 😩

I submitted renewal of EAD back in June. It's way outside processing time. I submitted SR in 12/11 and hasn't even been assigned to an officer yet. I'm on the 180 day extension that will expire 4/27.
.
Waiting!

Thank you! I guess I thought since my case was ready to be scheduled for an interview, I was under the assumption that my file was complete and that they had completed all background checks. At the same time, my case is beyond processing time and I haven't received any updates on the combo card.
