When I called the 1-800#, I was told that I could not work on the day the EAD expires. I missed that day too :(
When I inquired the same with the officer in the District Office during the appointment later, the officer said I could. I need to apply a PTO for that day and Leave Of Absence for the days following.....

I don't know why there would be different versions each time you inquire anything with USCIS. Anybody's guess....

So, nasreen_i, you could work tomorrow too. Hopefully you will recv your EAD card soon. Good luck.
 
Congrats....

Hi Nasreen_i
congratulations.... :)
don't worry if the case status didn't change or there is no LUD yet,the system update could be delayed couple of days,as in my case was approved dec/30/2006 and the the LUD didn't change until jan/04/2007, then the message changed next day jan/05/2007 with a new LUD, the message was" card production was order"
also today I have a new LUD and message changed to " approval notice was sent"
Did the officer tell you what date your case was approved?

about expediting : i called the 800 # today ,and she gave me 5 conditions that will allow me expediting my file :financial loss,uscis mistake...i don`t remember the rest ..i guess the first one fits me ,since i have a family and i have to support them
i was wondering of i should wait the extra 19 days or i can send an expedite request ?if so can you tell me how ,please ???
i checked the I-485 ,using my alien number ..it is because i didn`t register for NSEERS so i have to see a judge but it is taking so long

don't forget to write on the outside envelope:

Expedite Request
by doing that, you will be sure that your envelope goes to the right person.
 
EAD approved

Guys,
Glad to share with you that my EAD renewal case has been approved..... :D :)
I called USCIS this morning and the officer said my case was approved and the card was sent for printing and may take 15-30 days to get to me as there were thousands of cards that were sent for printing.
alas....the wait is not indefinite.

I appliad EAD on October 27 and it was transfered to Leese Summit, MO on December 20. I have seen some LUD on the case and the last one was on January 4. I have not seen any update since then. I called the 1-800.. Representer asked me if I have been in finger print appointment. I have gone for I-485 but not for I-765. He took my name address info and told me if I don't recieve any appointment date in 45 day I should call them.

LUD changed...

Thanks guys for your help... hossamny and nasreen_i in particular

Atlast LUD changed..... :D

Current Status: Card production ordered.
On January 11, 2007, we ordered production of your new card.

I am not sure if my employer accepts this. There are no validity dates mentioned in the status. Yet to hear from my employer. Keeping my fingers crossed... :confused:

************************************************8
Anyone here whose LUD/Status changed from Card production ordered to Approved (or anything next)?
If so, in how many days did the LUD change?
In how many days did you receive the card?
 
You Got It, Yaaaaaaaah

First, congratulation, and you are very welcome, it was a pleasure..
in regard of your question, LUD card production e-mail usually is the first one, and based on how busy the system is, it should be followed with approval notice e-mail, it takes between 3 to 5 business days for that second e-mail once your card was ordered to production.
now after another 3 to 7 business days from the second e-mail you should receive the card, now keep in mind that the card is sent by regular mail, so where is your city and state located from the shipping address might delay or expedite this time frame.
in some cases, people will receive the card in the mail before the approval e-mail. that's due to delay in the system updates LUD's.
Most important, don't worry, if your employer need the validity dates, you can call the 800# and ask them to transfer you to an immigration officer, they are able to see the start and expire date on your new card.
Good Luck :)
 
Thanks hossamny for the info.
By what you mentioned, the worst case scenario is waiting a week more.

The immigration officer I talked to yesterday mentioned the validity dates when she informed me that my I765 was approved. I told my employer that I can set up a conf call with USCIS for them to make note of the validity dates. But my company policy is that there must be something in writing to go into the file before I am allowed to work. Hopefully they will accept it this time.

Yeah, I need a lot of Good Luck. Thanks.
