July & August Tracker!!!!!!With no reciept yet
- Thread starter trinigirl
- Start date
I completed my biometrics today and wasn't expecting to see any updates until tomorrow or Monday but to my surprise I saw an LUD late at night. I had been checking through the day and when I didn't see any updates by close of business day, I wasn't disappointed but was hoping it will be there tomorrow. Surprisingly, I decided to check again before going to bed and alas, there was the LUD stating the card (EAD) production had been ordered on October 25. I was so happy. Now I can begin to get my life together in this country.
Another interesting thing was that my I-485 receipt number which never worked on the online status check, worked tonight and there was an LUD for it too. I remember a customer support agent had told me that the number should start working after my FP - I guess she was right. I just wanted to let those people who still have their receipt numbers showing up as invalid to take a cue from my experience.
Finally, to the rest of the people waiting for their EADs, APs, etc I pray that the wind of good tidings bring forth some good news for you people. For those who believe in God, I remember you in my prayers and for those who don't I remember you in my thoughts. I look forward to hearing some good news from all of you...
awesome. congrats...
Well nothing exciting for me, that IO told me I should be getting an E-Mail, nothing yet. Tomorrow will be day 90 and no ead. Even though he said I should get it in about 5 days, I won't trust that until I see it.
sit tight trinigirl..its gonna work out.
crossing fingers for all of us who r still waiting...

wow, that was fast, congrats...could you share your DO?
Today is day 90 as you can see, no physical news about my ead, had another LUD this morning about my 485, mail returned again. When does this end, what are they sending that I can't receive. I already have my interview date, I hope it's not a reference. This is so frustrating. My ead I don't even want to go there.

Yesterday (Thursday 25th) I got my EAD card. I had only got the approval notice email on wednesday night and got the actual mail with the card the next day.
The letter itself that comes with the card is dated from nearly a week ago, so when you get the approval email it means the letter is already on the way.
So from receipt of my forms by USCIS to my receiving the EAD card took me 3 months (minus 4 days).
Note that I had an RFE that suspended my case for 3 weeks. But I guess that since I had my card in less than 90 days, I can therefore not know if the RFE delayed or not my case. But 3 months wasn't that bad. The hardest was gettin' those %$#@%^ checks cashed.
Never wanted someone to take my money so anxiously.

GC for Mother
My mother had her second FP done on 5th October.(first one was rejected as it was unreadable) It has been 3 weeks now there is no update on her case. Case was transferred to CA processing center before the second FP was done. No RFE either.
i did not apply for her EAD. I am worried. Hope everything is ok.

What is your DO
It is Chicago. I live in IL.
I just got off the phone with another level 2 customer service agent. More like level one. She was very friendly, but was unable to listen well. She was babbling about things before asking questions, she told me whatever they got back they would be sending out. I ask about my ead and told me it was not approved yet, it hasn't been 90 days, which she was counting from the notice date. So I'm not sure what going on, I don't think level 2 is not that much different for 1. So I'll wait and see, that's all I can do right know. I paid for this ead and that's what I'm stressing about, if I knew that the ead would come right around the interview I would have not applied for one. Such a wast of money. One you get it, you have restrictions anyway, then you get your gc and you still have to go to ss and get those restrictions lifted.
I HATE those babblers, the last one I had when I called to ask about namecheck didn't even let me ask my question before he started reading his little note cards. I want a job like theirs, just read a card all day. They're so useless they really shouldn't have a phone service if they can't have people who can answer questions on the line!
I totally understand your pain trinigirl. The customer care sucks big time. I think they should automate this -- ok, if your question is one of above 9 questions, press the number or press 0 to hear our standard answer -- Every individual is different. Thanks for calling. And oh yes, please rate how well I served you. You can only press 5 which is excellent and rest of the numbers also point to excellent service.
I think the whole USCIS should be out-sourced.
