If you have been waiting for an EAD for more than 90 days, you can apply for an interim EAD.

Quote:
Current regulations require U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to decide a pending Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization within 90 days from the date of receipt. If USCIS fails to decide the pending application by day 90, federal regulations direct USCIS to issue an interim Employment Authorization Document (EAD) valid for a period not to exceed 240 days.[i]
Quote:
An interim EAD is an EAD issued to an eligible applicant when USCIS has failed to adjudicate an application within 90 days of receipt of a properly filed EAD application or within 30 days of a properly filed initial EAD application based on an asylum application filed on or after January 4, 1995. The interim EAD will be granted for a period not to exceed 240 days and is subject to the conditions noted on the document.

How Does One Apply For An Interim Employment Authorization Document?

When the Service Center has not otherwise adjudicated the Form I-765 or issued an interim EAD by Day 90, the applicant must first use USCIS’ InfoPass appointment reservation program to schedule an appointment at the nearest USCIS field office. Information about InfoPass and appointment scheduling may be found at http://infopass.uscis.gov/.

What Documents Are Needed To Apply For An Interim Employment Authorization Document?

An applicant for an interim Employment Authorization Document should take the following to the USCIS InfoPass appointment:

1. a new, completed Form I-765 Application for Employment Authorization;

2. the original USCIS Form I-797 Receipt Notice regarding the pending Form I-765 application, and the original of any other USCIS correspondence regarding the pending Form I-765;

3. the original USCIS Form I-797 Receipt Notice regarding the underlying pending application giving rise to eligibility for employment authorization, and the original of any other correspondence regarding the underlying application;

4. the applicant's passports (old and new);

5. the applicant' original Form I-94;

6. two passport-type color photographs;

7. proof of residence within the jurisdiction of the USCIS office, such as a State driver's license listing the applicant's U.S. address, or any other proof of address; and

8. the applicant's current or expired EAD, if USCIS issued one to the applicant in the past.
I'm in the process of trying this with an appointment Monday, so I don't know if it works yet. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Has this worked for anyone?

^Well, I'll try anyway. Nothing to lose at this point. Maybe it will hasten the DACA process if it's brings my application to the top of the pile. We'll see.

The 90 days waiting time only apply after your DACA is approved. Are you approved? Most of the people have both DACA and EAD approve in the same day.

You're right. I didn't read the whole thing. I'm pushing 6 months though. Is there some maximum amount of time before I could contact them?

Tey pretty much got rid of interim EAD's. I tried that venue as well and was unsuccessful.

There are a few people who are getting close to the 1 year mark. Yea, it's scary. The only thing you can do is wait. I'm so sorry, I know how it feels
