iggy901, it seems to be the pattern lately that people are getting approved days after their expiration date, so hopefully you will hear something by the end of the week. I'm hoping that's the case anyway, I expire Thursday and I have not heard anything yet either.

Unfortunately, there's also delays getting the actual work permit, so you might want to plan for a long wait, I've read people here wait anywhere from 12 days to 20+ days to get their permit in the mail after they are approved. I'm crossing my fingers that this week there is more activity in approvals and such, but being a short week, we might not get that. Seriously crossing my fingers this week!

I am really stressed out with the renewal process. This is my second renewal. I applied 6/28/2016 and my EAD expired 09/16/2016
I started a new job in August and I have been patiently waiting for my new card since the HR team at the hospital is very strict. They gave me two extra weeks from today to bring in the physical card, or I will be fired. I worked so hard to work at this hospital. They understand it is out of my control and I have done everything I could do. It's really unfair, and not to mention embarrassing. i really don;t think I will get my card within two weeks. My bio was done 9/19/2016.
I see that some users from the beginning of May are just now getting approved.It is really upsetting.
I am married to a natural born citizen. Our I130 petition has been approved. however, our lawyer has not answered any of our emails or calls. we have already payed him the total too. We are just gonna show up at his office this week and hopefully get some help. He was so helpful up until a month ago. I hope that ends well. I'm sure you guys could imagine the frustration we are both going through. And, me especially. I look at my husband and he just has such worried eyes. I hate thinking it and saying it, I feel completely responsible for all this mess. He shouldn't be going through all this stress with me, I feel so mad he has to go through this.

i really just wanted to vent on my current situation.

So sorry to hear. Keep your head up and use all the resources you can to get your case approved. Since you are an end of June app, you should be approved in the next 2-3 weeks if USCIS keeps up this pace. Hopefully your case status will update to approved and maybe your employer can use that to keep you on the job. Worst case scenario, you may have to be fired and rehired a couple weeks later which is what a lot of employers are doing with people on here. Good luck.

Hopefully there are more approvals this week and also to factor in, voter registration deadlines are over in some states so maybe more resources will go back to DACA

We initially sent in our application last year. We were busy with some other things and had to pause the process. Our petition got approved in February. We were ready to start back and we can't get in contact with our attorney.

Guys, do you know how long it typically takes after the EAD card is mailed out until it comes in?

I am seriously freaking out because I have a job I love and now I am at risk of losing it.
I need this job to pay my bills and keep a roof over my head.

Does anyone have any advise on what I should do?
I'm on the same boat, my EAD expires on Friday and I did my bio early July. I contacted the congresswoman here and also NILC. All I can do now is wait.

I my EAD expires, I also lose my job; hopefully we get approved soon!

EAD?

Still waiting and nothing, my EAD expired on 11/06/16 and my employer is already asking me for some information. I called USCIS and they told me to call back on 10/31/16 because that's when 105 days will be since my application. The last 2 times I applied I got my renewal in so quick. Whats going on this year?

The technical error for Feb.-May slowed things down, this years election are slowing things down because of the N-400 (trying to push out a lot of immigrants to USC to vote) and they are backlogged. But hopefully they will start picking up the pace.

Damn looks like we are both in the same boat right now. It's just going to suck big time not being able to work or drive. How am I supposed to get things done?
