EAD approval time after expedite request approved by USCIS

USA
62

Your expedite can be approved only if biometrics is either done or if they could use previous years biometrics right? Is there any expedite option for those whose biometrics is not done yet?

My EAD got approved on June 16th and got the approval notice yesterday. Still waiting for the card.

My expedited request approved on March 16th. After 45 days I followed up with tier2 officer. They were not sure Why it was not approved even after 45 days. So again they raised one expedited request it seems. Again after 45 I received the approval.

Congratulations Preethu. happy for you …exact same experience .
But my wait time for approval was slightly shorter probably because of Senator Follow up. But I am waiting for the card now as want to start back with my employer they are waiting for me to send the scanned copy of the card .

We all who got expedite approved had Standalone EADs or already Biometrics completed .

How about you ?

@preethu09 any luck with EAD card ?

73

@preethu09 did you receive your card ?

My Senators office followed up with USICS today .

USICS has confirmed there is a delay in Production of cards from June .

But USICS has confirmed that we should receive within a month from the Production date of the card . So it can take up to 3 to 4 weeks to receive the card .

Thanks to Washington post to cover this important information .

Hi! I applied for my EAD renewal back in Oct 2019 (my current EAD expired in April 2020) and got the expedite request approved back in Oct 5th 2020, based on financial loss. It’s been more than a year, I’m current on a leave of absence since Oct 6Th and very worried about my job. Does anyone might have an idea of what’s going on or an estimate of how much longer until I receive my new EAD? Mine is at the National Benefit Center.

Thank you!
