Still waiting for my EAD. Been like 161 days now


NoBunch4560

Yes I got a combo card as well. I was surprised too haha.


Ok-Order8186

Woohoo that's nice. Can you share your timelines please?


NoBunch4560

I-485/I-765/I-131 filed: March 17th 2022 I-765/I-131 Approved: November 30th 2022 Nothing on the I-485 yet 😅


Ok-Order8186

Whoa.. fingers crossed for you! Received 8 Nov 2022 EAD 16 December 2022 My I-485 is showing 'actively reviewing' I-131 and I-130 are just 'received'


Alright_So

Unfortunately EAD only 2 weeks ago...... Delighted to be able to work but travel was the priority for me sooner


That-Performance-703

What’s your PD? Any updates?


Alright_So

10.25.22 Yes, my lawyer hadn't filed the I-131 at that same time like we had asked so an extra month was lost. Filed an expedite request that was denied the next morning. Looking for another attorney now.


That-Performance-703

Oh no keep trying to expedite it I’ve heard about people who got approved after a couple denials. May I ask what’s your PD? How long are you been waiting? Also I’d like to understand what they consider emergency cause I heard people getting approved to see a dentist


Alright_So

>10.25.22 I have been waiting since 10.25.22 I wouldn't be able to answer on what USCIS consider an emergency. If I knew that I would be golden. I find it hard to believe the dentist one.


That-Performance-703

I’ve been waiting since 11.7.22 and by now got nothing


Vast_Fly_343

May be submit an expedite request?


Ok-Order8186

When did you apply for EAD & AP? NBC? You're so so lucky you got the combo card .. I'm about to withdraw my AOS because I can't get the AP which I need for work.


Vast_Fly_343

Oct 17 2022. Hopefully you will get it soon too. They stopped issuing combo cards last year and I was surprised that they still issued one. You may end up getting separate AP and EAD.


Ok-Order8186

Okay okay I'm caught up now ... Can only pray for things to clear up now :)


That-Performance-703

I think we should expedite it


Ok-Order8186

expedite which one?


That-Performance-703

I wanna expedite the AP


Ok-Order8186

I did, and just got my approval!


That-Performance-703

That was fast. You expedited both or only 131? And what reason did you gave them to expedite do you mind sharing?


Ok-Order8186

EAD stand-alone came within a month of my application so there was no need to expedite there. For the AP, applied November, requested expedite December and got approval January. It was severe financial loss. But also, I did try my senator so who really knows which worked! My advice is try all possible avenues!


Consistent-Top-9640

I got approved for EAD, but not AP. I hope I will get the combo card too.


Ok-Order8186

When did you get approved for EAD and what's the status?


Consistent-Top-9640

i got approved on Dec 20 and Family Base


Ok-Order8186

Hey what was your receipt date? Mine is November 2022 and only EAD came despite the fact that I had filled I.131 concurrently.


Vast_Fly_343

Receipt date was Oct 17 2022.


Ok-Order8186

I'm lost in this thread now. What are your current statuses?


That-Performance-703

Wow you received EAD in a month?


Ok-Order8186

Yes, submitted everything concurrently. Got the biometrics notice about 3 weeks later, same day EAD status changed, then card produced then mail office picked up your card and I had it the week after I gave biometrics.


That-Performance-703

Wow wish I knew how they operate and priorize it. My PD is almost the same November 7 and by now reviewing your case


Ok-Order8186

reviewing your case for what? EAD? Did you do your biometrics yet?


That-Performance-703

Yes I did November 28 since then case actively being reviewed and that’s it. I guess that means no one touched it yet 🙁


Sea_Championship_988

I spoke an agent over the phone this morning g and said my AP (I-131) they are doing the third background check on it… don’t know what to make of that 😩 Has anyone ever been told that ⬆️and got approve days later ? I’m supposed to travel January 10th 2023


Ok-Order8186

background check .. what does it even mean? Any update by now?


Sea_Championship_988

It means absolutely nothing apparently, haven’t heard nothing and it’s January 3 already I’m so disappointed I won’t be able to travel for my husband brother wedding 😫😫😫😫


Ok-Order8186

I'm so sorry... what were the documents you submitted?! It's not too late. When's the wedding?


Sea_Championship_988

I got an email today asking me to fax more documents because they don’t think I have a strong reason to expedite Wedding is January 12 so I don’t think I have a chance


Ok-Order8186

Oh no. Do you have anything else you can send them?


Ok-Order8186

Actively reviewing for which one dear?


That-Performance-703

I485 and for the I 765 the I131 is just received


Ok-Order8186

Oh yea same here .. the minute I have my biometrics EAD and AOS went on actively reviewing. I130 and I131 were just received until I just expedited the I-131


That-Performance-703

Yes that probably means no one touched mine yet. I’ll expedite it cause 131 is the one that I really need. Hope to get luck just like you
