I have a pending I 485. The application for EAD renewal (3rd card) was received in April 20th. No RFE. Still till now I did not get any response back from the INS. My attorney called them a month ago to inquire about the application and was told that we should get a response within 30 days. The 30 days have passed and we didn't here from them. Any one had any similar senarios. Any suggestions will be very appreciated. I went to the local office to get an interim card but they refused to give it to me.

Thank you
 
What was the reason they gave you for refusing an interim card ? Sometimes it helps to come back every other day until they give you a card.

Their initial stall tactic is to tell you 'well it might be in the mail, so come back in two weeks'. Just keep going back, keep insisting to talk to a supervisor, they are supposed to give you a card after 91 days, unless there is an RFE on the I765 which would 'stop' the clock.

Recently there was a directive to the local offices that the practice of issuing the interim EADs was being eliminated. I am not sure what the recourse is for those like this unfortunate individual that are being inconvenienced by the USCIS delay.
I would talk with a competent immigration attorney about this. Fortunately you remain in legal status due to the pending 485 but not sure what to do about the work situation.
Your situation makes one leary about moving onto EAD as bad as things are with retrogresion.
 
Thank you for your comments. My attorney is going to make another call in Monday to the INS. I hope he can get any informmation.
 
EAD delay

Thanks for the update. When was the EAD card dated and when did you apply? Also did you have any recent RFEs or anything else going on with your 485 case? I am just curious to see exactly how long it took and wondered why the delay. USCIS eliminated the local office temp. cards on the premise they were unnecessary as they are now so efficient. I personally have recieved 2 EADs to date and both within 6 weeks, but it only need happen once to screw you. By what you are saying their claim on efficiency is not so. Your lawyer should perhaps go through the AILA and enquire about the delay.
 
EAD renewal application transferred to Miami

My EAD renewal application was filed with Nebraska on July 18, 2006.
On Aug 11, 2006, I got a notice that they transferred my file to Miami
for expedited processing. I have not received my EAD todate. I am planning
to go to the local office on the 90th day. My understanding is that interim cards are no longer issued at local offices. My current card is about to expire soon.
Any one else with similar situation have any advice? Thanks!!!
