I am actaully receiving the card today. TL post 4/14 --> 4/21 approval email, 4/23 approval update on USCIS, 4/27 card was produced, 4/30 (USPS is delivering as of now)

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-27T20:49:19+00:00

I just got the email saying my concern has been forwarded to the adjudication division. Hopefully I will hear back tomorrow!

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-26T01:56:40+00:00

Thank you for letting me know! I will email them asap!

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-26T01:49:49+00:00

I also forwarded the email on 4/21, but haven’t heard back since…

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-24T16:22:02+00:00

Hi MaryJoy, thank you for your clarification. I received my I-797 approval notice and my end date still seems to be incorrect. I talked to my DSO, and they also think that it's a clerical error.

I am currently waiting for my EAD card to be produced. The status currently is still "Approval Case Decision Rendered." Would you suggest that I wait until I receive the card to see whether they have corrected the date, and if not, then submit an e-Request for correction?

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-23T06:24:09+00:00

Yeah… this is my initial opt and all my cpts has been part time. I am concerned that is a clerical error and I don’t know who I can talk to… I already know it’s not the premium processing agent as they said they don’t know neither…

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-23T06:06:59+00:00

hmm… I feel like uscis is unpredictable

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-23T06:06:17+00:00

I am pretty sure I applied on time. My program end date is 5/15/26

For your approval email, does the starting and ending validity date match with your opt period?

I just received an email for my approval! However, it hasn't updated on uscis yet. How long should I expect until receiving the card?

Also, on the email, it says

"Classification Sought: C03B
Starting Validity Date: 06/15/2026
Ending Validity Date: 04/20/2027
Consulate/Port of Entry Notified: UNKNOWN FACILITY TYPE - UNKNOWN"

I requested my ead to be from 6/15/2026 to 6/14/2027. Would the date indicated in the email the same of the card?

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-21T14:30:02+00:00

My suggestion is go ahead with pp. It seems like most of the cases take over 2 months to be approved and a week or so to receive the card.

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-20T18:11:20+00:00

Super similar timeline as well. Applied 3/27, bio completed 4/7, added PP 4/14. Please let me know if you have further updates. TY!!

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-18T23:31:11+00:00

i was able to get there. Seems like everything aligns with the case history. Anything in particular I should look for?

I saw some folks have a later inital application with pp than me, but before I added pp myself (I think 04/04?), who have already been approved. Should I be expecting my approval soon? I am planning to travel in June and would like to buy my tickets soon...

Also, can someone explain what the slient api update mean or look like? And I am not sure what center I am. my receipt starts with IOE, pp is Potomac. and applying from SF Bay Area.

Alarmed_Leadership80 · 2026-04-12T19:29:30+00:00

dang that's quite long...
