Hey, I received a notice in the mail 10 days after sending the documents. Did you create an online account? Sometimes you can find updates there, before receiving them in the mail

Thank you for your response. I have an account and I don't see the new case there. It's been more than a month and I'm anxious that my case is lost somehow.
Sorry for that, hopefully you will get the notice and approval soon.

This morning, I called USCIS to report that there was an obvious tech issue or that my case was lost. I wonder if it helped. Just now, I received a notification that an action was taken on my case. My renewal application finally appeared on my profile. It says that my case was received and the notice was sent on August 12. However, I haven't received anything by mail.
Btw, good news, everyone. Now we can apply for a fee waver online.

I sent by mail. Can I see online status? How to create online account? Did notice say about 5 yrs extension?

After how many days (after you sent the application) did you receive the card?
I have not received a card, still waiting. Applied by mail in June. You can check the status online, after you get the notice with case number.

I received my new 5-year card
My final timeline:
Aug 9: Sent all my documents by mail with a fee waiver. I didn't receive any notice, and my case didn’t show up on my profile for 5 weeks. I actually thought my case was lost.
Sep 16: My case appeared on my profile, stating that my documents were received on Aug 12. I also called USCIS that same day. I wonder if that helped.
Sep 18: I got a notification that my I-765 had been approved.
Sep 24: The new card was delivered.
I also received a notice by mail (it wasn’t on my online profile) that my fee waiver was approved on Sep 16.

Awesome! I have one question though. When your case appeared on the website what was your estimated time on myProgress tab? Mine keeps changing from 3 to 2 months back and forth. And it’s been like that for 4 months lol

Many Congrats! When you call them, what all the info you can ask for?
Common sense change. I'm sure USCIS is 'tired' of charging those renewal fees. This should have been done a long time ago.Announced September 20th 2023,
New / renewal EAD's will now be valid for 5 years
