It's the 1st e-Request response I got that actually says something useful. I want to point out that this e-Request was the first one I submitted under my I-821D receipt number, my previous ones were done under the I-765 number... and I'm not sure why I did that...

Also, I had mentioned in an earlier post about being sponsored by my employer for a work visa (H1B), but it turns out that DACA recipients don't have a valid immigration status to allow for an H1B application... they will, however, sponsor me for a green card which is great news, but I will not be able to work after 9/8 until my new EAD arrives.

That is how I did it. Unfortunately they code they had for me did not work. My brother did the same thing and his worked.

Then I told him my EAD will expire in less than 50 days (about 40 actually), and he said there is chance that it may be approved before the 50 days but if it's not, you can call us again after 50 days. Has anyone else had this type of response? Now that I'm reading more posts, I wonder if his inquiry was the "outside of normal processing time inquiry". Anyone else have a similar phone convo?

Yes but I was told my call cannot be transferred because there is a high volume of calls already and the system prevents em from making an inquiry for a petition outside process times. Call tomorrow early so I can have an inquiry submitted. Asid3 from that asked their tier level and immediately was told" even the higher tiers will give me the same response "I m" giving you "......

EAD expired: 8/16/2016

I spoke with an immigration officer who said they may have received it on a certain day, but they don't start working on it until the next day. Again, who knows, but does anyone else notice a one-day gap?
