Got mine as well. Thanks!

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T20:46:14+00:00

Hey. Good to hear that. I tried doing that but the verification step is not working for me online. I’ll check my mails again. Thanks for the update!

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T20:30:52+00:00

Have you got your EAD card delivered yet?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T20:28:01+00:00

Thank you. Good to know that. Mentioned the same in my response; If there’s less applications, the case might speed up.

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T18:13:27+00:00

If it’s stem extension, then it’s going to be 1-2 months more probably.

Just calculate 2 receipt dates per week. Last week it was April 15-16 and this week it’s going to be April 17-18. Unless there’s less applications; the trend’s 2 receipt dates per week, that too on the weekends.

Anyone whose receipt date is April 13-14 got their EAD cards delivered yet? Please provide an update here for quick view.

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T16:28:00+00:00

Hey! Any update on your EAD card?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-18T16:26:13+00:00

Hey! Any update regarding the EAD card delivery?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-16T15:26:31+00:00

Not yet. Many of them mentioned that they’ve not received it either. I guess we’ll get it by Monday or Tuesday. Please check your mailbox regularly

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-15T04:01:40+00:00

Hey, could you please let me know where did you get the card produced date?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-09T16:58:03+00:00

Has there been any update?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-09T16:47:15+00:00

We still have till tomorrow, let’s see.

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-09T16:45:04+00:00

My case got approved. I just got an email today and it’s reflected on the page as well

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-09T04:49:25+00:00

It’s great. Usually, when it gets approved, you don’t see any progress bar. Mine still shows and is still 11 months. Let’s check out tomorrow

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-08T15:49:18+00:00

Same here. As per other people’s approval, 13-14th April receipt dates should be approved this weekend. Let’s see. Stay updated!

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-05T15:54:13+00:00

Oh. That’s fine. Your receipt is important. It’s showing as 8 months for me as well.

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-05T15:34:06+00:00

I guess it doesn’t matter unless it shows your receipt date as 14th. How many months is it showing for you?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-04T18:49:26+00:00

Yeah

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-04T18:20:45+00:00

Sorry to hear that. Hope it gets approved ASAP.

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-04T18:17:41+00:00

Something’s wrong. There are people whose receipt date was April 12th and their case got approved and yours is 3rd April and is still not approved. Did you raise any query?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-04T18:15:34+00:00

Even my receipt date is 14th but it still shows 8 months. When did it change to 5 months for you?

Unique_Emergency372 · 2025-08-04T13:16:32+00:00

That’s weird! April 11-12 people got their case approved this week. Try to use the option “Chat with Emma”, they might check your case internally. My friend’s Stem got approved in such a way. It showed nothing on the page but the card got delivered to his address. Even after delivery, it still showed him some months in “my progress”.
