EAD processing time changes NBC

Sure, you could look at it that way. OR you could request to expedite based on hardship and unemployment - loss of job, etc. You could also follow up on it by reaching out to your senator

Right, thanks for the advice I will look into it. I've been waiting for almost 5 months now, PD is 3/2.

The auto 6- month extension applies to our new EAD under the C(9) category not our OPT EAD, so we can't work until we get the new card unfortunately

You have been waiting for 5 months? That's super long did you get your forms send to NBC?

Yeah, I thought all Employment Authorizations for marriage based adjustment of status are issued by NBC? Normal processing time is 4.5-6.5 months, I'm still in the normal time range, can't do anything, but i hope the EAD will be approved soon. People who filed in early March are starting to get their work cards..

I just got notice on my email yesterday. So I guess I will have to wait for another 4.5-6.5 months to see...if only USCIS did not mess up my case then I would have saved another month..

As of today, processing time for EAD/AP under NBC has changed again to 5-7months. It?s back on January 15th.
So frustrating!

Complete BS

I saw that too. This is some horsesh*t. People are getting angry over here.

No, k-1 AOS is also marriage based and category c9, as well. Texas and Nebraska service centers handle theirs. California might, too. Their stuff happens faster though. I just saw someone who filed in Raleigh back on 06-08-18 and they just got the interview letter. It's scheduled for 08-31-18.

I'll find a way to expedite...

Yeah lucky for them! Sometimes I wish I live in those places. I filed 3/2/2018, but got an RFE in July, god knows how long it would delay my case...

Yes, angry and frustrated! This sh*t harms our marriage too, as I am not happy staying home like a braindead houseplant (yes, I used to have a career in Europe) and not being able to see my family and visit my HOMECOUNTRY.

It's frustrating, yes. That's why often times consular processing is a good alternative to adjustment of status. Tanja sounds German. Germany has a USCIS international field office which processes I-130s in a month. Done. You get your immigrant visa. Then, enter the US and your green card arrives in the mail.
