I have EAD approved on May 20th from TSC. Does anyone know how long it will take to receive the actual plastic card in the mail? It's the only thing keeping me from moving for a job. Thanks.
 
** welcome to the forum**

The normal time is 5 - 7 business days.
If you don't receive in 14 days you can call TSC.

Hope you didn't do any change of address.

Just to tell my personal experience.

My spouse’s EAD was approved but never received the plastic card. We had to resend the application and it took us three additional months. We did not have a change of address.

I think our experience is not very common but with TSC anything is possible.
 
I didn't have any change of address. I guess I have to call TSC and see because it has been more than 14 days. I hope I don't have to re-apply.
Thanks for the input.
 
Just to let everyone know. I found out that Approval Date is different from Approval Notice Date when they actually mail out the card. In my case the approval date was May 20th and the notice date was June 6th so now I know that my card is in the mail and should be here in 5-7 days.
 
Hi Manolacho,
I saw your message and I want to know when did it happened? What was your spouse's RD/ND for EAD? When did you resend the application etc..?
Because I am waiting for EAD card from May 13th. The web site says the card was mailed to my home address on May 13th. Still no sign of it. I did not change my address and after 14 dayscalled the IIO and confirmed the address.
I don't know what to do and how to proceed after that? Will you please share your experience? I am thinking of changing the job. But don't know what to do without the EAD card.
Thanks a lot for your help.
 
Hi Manolacho,
Thank you. Please tell me how long did you wait before you resend your application? I am going crazy, not knowing what to do about it.
Appreciate your reply.

Here is the information regarding my spouse’s EAD.

First time (I-765):
RD: 04/29/02
Approval: 07/08/02
The EAD card was never received. My lawyer called and sent faxes to TSC trying to get a new card but did not work. More than two months had passed with no results therefore, the lawyer recommended re-applying with new I-765.

Second time (I-765):
RD: 10/02/02
Approval: 01/28/03
This time we received the EAD card within 6 to 7 days from date of approval.

Hope this will help you.
 
To Immigma,

To Manolacho,

Hi,
Thank you for the information. I received my EAD card just now in the mail. I am very happy that I did not have to reapply for it. I don't know why it took so long, as the card was approved in the last week of March itself. Thank God and hope everything goes well from here on.
Thank you and good luck to you.
 
485_xx,

I’m glad you received your EAD card and did not have to go thru more re-applying suffering.

Wish you the best of luck for you too and hope to here that your case is approved soon.
