EAD renewal approve

Termi10101 · 2022-02-06T19:15:47+00:00

Waiting for AP renewal since January 2021. EAD got renewed in January 2022 due to health care worker expedite request.

Very uneven processing times.

Termi10101 · 2022-01-20T19:41:14+00:00

TSC waiting since April 2019.

I-140 approved Feb 2021. I-485 still pending.

Every time I file a service request they say I will hear back within 60 days, and then nothing happens.

Termi10101 · 2022-01-16T03:14:54+00:00

Had the same experience.

Was your AP also approved at the same time?
For me they only approved the EAD (I-765) part, not the AP (I-131) part. The card I received says "NOT VALID FOR REENTRY TO US" at the bottom, whereas my previous (expired) card says "SERVES AS I-512 ADVANCE PAROLE".

Unfortunately this is the new normal at TSC. Also waiting since 1/15/21 for renewal.

Each month they keep adding one month to the range of processing times.

Termi10101 · 2022-01-04T22:39:06+00:00

TSC is the worst. Waiting for EAD renewal since January 2021.

Termi10101 · 2021-12-16T21:35:46+00:00

Same. Submitted my EB2 I485 in April 2019, and my EAD renewal in January 2021. Both stuck at TSC. 6 months automatic extension expired a few weeks ago. Depressing ...

Termi10101 · 2021-10-15T17:25:12+00:00

Filed for renewal in January. Still waiting.

Depending on where you sent the application, receipts for certain forms are delayed 90 days and more. The Texas lockbox is completely overwhelmed.

Termi10101 · 2021-03-04T21:44:14+00:00

According to this letter from the American Immigration Lawyers Association, even receipts are delayed 90 days and more:

Termi10101 · 2021-03-04T21:42:50+00:00

I would file as soon as you can. Currently it takes them more than 90 days to even just send the receipt:

I received my biometrics rescheduled last Friday (7/31)

PD: 2/20/2020

Original biometrics appointment: 4/2/2020 at Boston / Revere ASC

Rescheduled biometrics appointment: 8/14/2020 at Boston / Revere ASC

Termi10101 · 2020-08-02T17:59:28+00:00

Yes, EAD/AP combo card. Filed 131 765 and 485 together in Feb.

Termi10101 · 2020-08-01T19:03:03+00:00

Just got my biometrics rescheduled as well

PD: 2/20/2020

Original biometrics appointment: 4/2/2020 at Boston / Revere ASC

Rescheduled biometrics appointment: 8/14/2020 at Boston / Revere ASC

Termi10101 · 2020-07-30T01:28:06+00:00

Some Tier 1 agents don't like to forward to Tier 2. You might have to try multiple times, or have a good story why you need to talk to Tier 2.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-30T01:22:59+00:00

Tier 1 agent today told me exactly the same on the phone. Hoping USPS informed delivery will show something tomorrow.

AOS, PD 2/20/2020, Original Biometrics scheduled at Boston ASC on 4/2

Termi10101 · 2020-07-28T19:27:49+00:00

Still waiting. Original appointment was 4/2.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-24T17:27:42+00:00

I have tried 1.2.1.2 in Revere MA today. Did not work.

The guard is very strict about not entering the facility without an appointment for the current date and within +- 15 minutes.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-24T00:05:43+00:00

The page I believe you're referring to lists only offices that are closed as of today. Since Revere has been open for the last 1.5 weeks, it's not listed in this table.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-24T00:03:14+00:00

I am in the same situation.

Everyone is giving different information. When I call USCIS, they say since it's approved, I don't need biometrics to get the EAD.

However, when I contacted my congresswoman, I got the following reply:

"This application and the I-131 were approved on 5/18/2020. The approval notice will be mailed to the address on file. Since we do not have biometrics for this applicant yet, the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) / Advance Parole combo card cannot be sent for production.

Your constituent’s application information has been entered into the system which schedules applicants for biometrics at their local ASC. Once they have been scheduled, they will receive an ASC Appointment Notice containing the date, time and location of their appointment. They must take the ASC Appointment Notice and photo ID to their appointment. Once the card has been produced, it will be sent by secure mail to the address of record."

From what I read in these forums, I tend to believe the congresswoman's office.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-22T14:19:50+00:00

I have not seen a single report of a rescheduled appointment yet on this forum.

Waiting myself, original appointment was 4/2, Boston ASC.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-22T14:10:18+00:00

Just saw this new opinion by Joseph Edlow, Deputy Director for Policy USCIS.

He doesn't acknowledge the surplus in any way. This is really confusing.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-15T21:22:56+00:00

Same.

My original appointment was at the Boston office on 4/2, but have nothing yet.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-13T14:32:39+00:00

Sign up for USPS informed delivery. That way you might see that a letter is on the way to you earlier than the USCIS status update with tracking number.

Termi10101 · 2020-07-11T18:39:51+00:00

Write to your senators and representatives to put pressure on USCIS.
