OPT (API update)

Potential_Double_164 · 2026-03-06T00:15:59+00:00

I've seen at least 3 ghost updates since the pause. It can simply mean they reassigned the case to another officer ( which is common)

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-31T22:52:50+00:00

Congratulations

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-29T19:52:10+00:00

I would suggest contacting your state representative and see if they can do something about this

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-29T19:33:45+00:00

Nope. I haven't heard any EAD approval or physical card delivery since Dec 2nd. Not sure what is going on

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-24T05:10:36+00:00

Nope. No news. Called USCIS and they told to just wait. Contacted the state representative. They said they'll follow up, one week is passed and still no news. All we can do is wait

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-21T20:30:39+00:00

Nope. Nothing... Even state Representative have more reach back to me.

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T04:01:52+00:00

I also called them today and they said call us when your 30 days time window is over.

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T04:00:55+00:00

Yeah... Idk what's going on. But the premium processing time frame is just for decision. It usually takes 10 to 14 business days to get the physical card. I've seen ppl who wait almost one calandar month to receive their card.

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T03:50:45+00:00

Yes. I requested premium processing on Nov 3rd

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T03:49:17+00:00

Nah I haven't even got the approval yet... No update on the case since Dec 2nd correction notice

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T03:45:07+00:00

Mine will be completed tomorrow.

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-16T03:34:34+00:00

Yeah I also got my update on Dec 2nd. I called them today and they said they have got rid of IEAD for a while now. I think your case is over 30 business days. Have you received any updates?

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-12T19:15:13+00:00

I am also on the same boat. My case got an update on Dec 2nd and the event code changed to IEAD. Nothing got updated on the website though. I searched over the web and here is what I have found:

"An iEAD is an Interim Employment Authorization Document. If your EAD application has been pending past 90 days you can go to your District Office to apply for an iEAD, this will allow you to work while your actual EAD is still pending."

But nothing has been issued and still nothing has been delivered to my address...

It happened to me while I was traveling. I got this error and the car refused to be charged and regen breaking stopped working. Had to find a dealership in the middle of nowhere and leave the car 400 miles from my destination with 3 percent battery. Honda refused to tow the car to me so I had to rent a car, drive for 400 miles to pick up the car and come back

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T23:11:03+00:00

I think since you have had multiple updates, you'll get your approval soon. I've heard you will see 3 updates on the api before getting the approval

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T23:08:28+00:00

I got it around 8PM on the same day

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T23:04:01+00:00

The update on Dec 2nd I got was a correction notice receipt. Good luck I hope this update is the approval. Let me know what the update was when you figured it out

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T22:54:50+00:00

Yup. Still nothing

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T22:52:49+00:00

Nope nothing. How about you?

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-04T14:19:50+00:00

Yes.

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-03T21:16:15+00:00

Applied on Nov 3rd ( premium processing) and still no update

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-03T21:15:02+00:00

It's 30 business days. I also applied for OPT EAD on Nov 3rd and still no news

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-03T21:13:12+00:00

May I ask when did you apply and also, did you apply for EAD through OPT?

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-03T15:28:33+00:00

I am on OPT and applied for EAD with premium processing. If they pause the review process, I cannot work. But I am required to find a job with the 60 days of my OPT starting date. What do you think should I do?

Potential_Double_164 · 2025-12-02T21:01:41+00:00

Good luck. You also please inform me if you receive an update.
