Delayed EAD notifications/card 2016 - Page 55

Case tracker still says card has been produced since 09/26. Maybe it will change couple days later after my card has arrived.

That's great I hope its in your hands soon.

It still says bios scheduled for me lol. But my SR reflects completion. Have two emails indicating production and mailing within 30 days. Seeing that nquiroga just saw production on his casetracker, I think ours should be next!

Does anyone know how long it takes the Service Center to email you back after you send them an email?

I submitted a service request through ELIS before I did the email method to NCS...so not sure if I still have to wait 30 days because of the ELIS auto reply notice.

LOL I am actually starting to think it may be a bad idea to have let HR keep me on payroll...I am effectively working on the books without a work permit approval...lol...this may haunt me later but its too late...I already let them put me on payroll for these past couple of weeks based on an I821D approval...

...We humans sure do gutsy things in times of desperation and frustration...smh...only myself to blame if this comes back to haunt me.

I am even more worried now, because I have a feeling this EAD bullshit isn't being resolved anytime soon...and if Trump wins and I am still waiting on some kind of EAD approval...then that's some fucked up shit...

I'm not worried. Many USCIS officers are suggesting to give employers DACA approval letters for the time being OR checking e-verify. There's proof that I resigned for a week and proof that HR was the one saying approval notice was fine. The lag for production was something we weren't aware of and card production/approval was confirmed by more than 2 USCIS resources. This isn't the same as working WHILE expired; which many did for weeks and montths.

USCIS replied to my SR and confirmed approval/card production within 5 days. ELIS got back to me within 15 days. Same answer.

ALSO, if they wanna get technical. Those thay are under LOA while expired (without approval notices) are at risk too. Though they aren't working, they're still "in the books". My point is there's no room for technicality at this point because the delays and lags are something USCIS had admitted to. Employers get desperate and people have responsibilities that they can't afford to be technical. *micdrop*.

At this point, I wouldn't worry. I feel super blessed that my employer kept me on at their discretion and blessed that I have been notified of card production/approval. Many people kept working when they got approved 2-3 days before their expiration date WITHOUT a card for 2-3 weeks. Are they gonna get penalized for that? Highly doubt it.

21 days after approval, I got an update saying my EAD went into production.
Hang in there guys

Awesome! Approved on same day so hopefully I'm next. Does it say it on your case tracker or ELIS?

Still waiting here lol luckily school has kept me occupied

I hear ya...only thing we all can really do is wait...while bugging USCIS when we can.
