This shows that USCIS no longer processes the EADs within the 30-day timeframe as it used to.
Pending Asylees Affected by 25th Aug 2020 DHS Rule

You think the reason to deny will the new 365 day wait period?
Do you think this rejection will impact my future EAD application which I'll be doing in April 2021?

Applied April 2020
Biometrics October 14th, 2020
150 days ended September 21st, 2020
Well, that's quite a delay just to deny a case they knew it wouldn't qualify
This scenario was mentioned on ASAP website , you can resubmit with proof of ASAP membership and no need to submit biometric fee if you have already done your biometric at the time or after submittion of asylum

You think they'll accept the asap membership
They just denied my application for ead
If I send with asap membership you think they will think its fishy?

There is a section in between "USCIS returned my application"
And below mentioned is from official USCIS
https://www.uscis.gov/i-765
"If you are a member of CASA or ASAP, you may refile your Form I-765 without the biometric services fee under the preliminary injunction order issued in Casa de Maryland Inc. et. al. v. Chad Wolf et. al. To file your Form I-765 without the biometric services fee, you must include documentary evidence of your membership in CASA or ASAP in the form of:
(1) a copy of your membership card or
(2) a letter from either organization certifying your membership.
They do , only for ASAP and CASA members in order to comply with courts preliminary injunction

@Angelhernt his application for ead has been pending for more than 30 days I believe. Hes a asap member too.
I am in touch with @Angelhernt , he applied the same process as I did, using ASAP membership
His case is different, he did not even get an acknowledgement receipt or neither a denial (not at least until last Monday) and he applied before me
30 days process counts when USCIS "accepts" an application and issues a notification mentioning application was received or accepted. Without such acknowledgement I doubt 30 days process should be counted
After acceptance if no decision is made within 30 days the EAD application will be considered as complete
I am assuming, @Angelhernt case isn't even accepted yet, probably due to any documentation error or documents sorting error (just guessing) , although I learned from him before when I applied my case using his experience
Hi,
I submitted my case on May 2nd.
I did the fingerprint in September.
I became ASAP member on November 13th.
I mailed my documents to USCIS on November 16th and I got FedEx Confirmation on November 17th for delivery.
I am checking my status on USCIS and it didn't change anymore and still, it says: Nest step is the interview.
Is anyone else in the same situation? Should I expect any letter from USCIS or I should wait till December 17th?

c08 EAD application is a separate case, so you won't see any relevant update under your ZXX number i589 case. You should receive another mail from USCIS containing the receipt number for you c08 EAD i765 application.
Thanks, Do you know how long does it take to get the receipt? 2 weeks or more?
Thank you,
I do not know. It does not hurt if you push them on Dec17
Thanks,
I searched online it said 2-3 weeks. good idea. how can I push USCIS? by call? Email?
As I explained earlier for my case, I got an SMS (because I submitted G-1145 form along with my EAD application) informing me about "acceptance" of my EAD application.
Acceptance is "not" an approval. It is just a confirmation that my application is successfully accepted to be further processed . Which means there was nothing wrong with the application I submitted
If my application was not accepted to be processed further, they would send back the application along with a letter explaining the reason why application was not accepted. In such case (for no acceptance) they do not send any email or SMS notification
In Summary if you sent EAD application along with G-1145 form, then
1. If Case accepted, then you will receive an SMS or Email and in mail you will receive receipt letter from USCIS
2. if case "not accepted", then wait for USCIS mail for your application sent back to you along with a letter explaining the reason why application was sent back

Which office? Any updates on interview?
Thanks for the clarification, I didn’t submit the G1145 form, so I should wait for their letter in my mail!
No updates on interview. I sent my docs for EAD card to Texas, I sent my docs for Asylum to California
Correct, That's the only way left
Otherwise, call / email them on or after December 17th
Besides, a few minor (but actually major) considerations are very important while finalizing application. USCIS may reject or not accept an application if they get confused or lost in your application
Such as,
1. " Never leave a blank space" always fill it up with "N/A"
2. Documents sorting is equally important, like ASAP membership to be put right after i765 application
3. Cover letter should always be included and on top of everything (If G-1145 is included then it will be on top of everything)
4. There should be an index paper too, explaining the documents included and in which order
5. Do not staple or permanent bind your application contents which cannot be easily loosen by USCIS staff
