But when I check on their generic case status website, it says my EAD is in production. If it's in production, wouldn't that mean I have been approved? If so, where is my approval notice for the EAD? My employer was telling to me to show the approval notice of the EAD while I wait for the card to come, but I didn't get any approval notice for the EAD, only the DACA.
Mine says the same. I plan on calling Tuesday to see if a tracking number is available.

He did mention the SR that the T1 officer put in for me should be answered before October 28th. How did you submit your inquiry, was it through Ellis, or SR e-request. And best of luck to you too. I'll keep you updated if I hear anything since we have similar timelines.
I submitted through SR e-request and I have emailed via ELIS but ELIS email responses were generic and that my application is within the processing time of 120 days - I submitted around 105 days before I expire. I'm supposed to get an answer for my SR by 10/27 so I'll have to see what they come back with.
I wonder how that T2 got that date. Hope we both hear something soon and I'll keep you updated also.

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem they are posting or sending EAD approval notices. The dates of the DACA renewal notice will be the same and the card number will supposedly be the receipt number according to what someone else posted. This info has been enough for some employers but not all. I'm not sure it helps either, but have you tried checking everify to see if it says you are able to work?

I am in the exact same boat! My card went into production the day before yours. I work contract jobs and just came all the way to Hawaii to start a new one on Monday, but I don't think they're going to allow me to start without further proof that I have been renewed. A USCIS officer told me I should have received an approval notice, but I didn't get anything. She gave me a link where I can request a copy, but once I filed they said to expect a response sometime before November 11. Ridiculous!

Hi all. I've been reading this thread occasionally for the past 3 weeks now since I too am experiencing the same delay. I've posted my details below. I hope something happens soon since I expire on Sunday and I can't take any more HR meetings!
You guys have definitely provided much needed support since I don't know and I am not exposed to anyone who is going thru this. So thank you for that.

I too have submitted service requests via the online tool. My response was "Your application is within the normal processing time." (which if I had known it was not going to be a "normal processing time" I would've submitted sooner)
I have also submitted an Ombudsman request with no response besides the generic receipt email.
I have also contacted my local congressman. No response from him yet.
I have called Customer Service multiple times to which they continuously tell me that they can't provide any information until it's been 105 days.

Application Receipt Date: 7/11/16
Biometrics Appointment: 8/12/2016
Current EAD Expiration Date: 10/23/2016
Approval: ??

You can do a self check there. I tried today but it didn't work, which might mean you can only do it once your card has been produced (mine hasn't yet).

That didn't work for me either. I guess the system did not have enough information on my identity in order to come up with questions to verify it was truly me. Kinda stupid...

I got my EAD in the mail today! Check my sig for my overall timeline. I have updated my entry in the worksheet too.

Get this... my EAD was approved on 09/29/2016, but my EAD shows a valid time period of 09/27/16-09/26/18. This reflects my DACA time period.

I got a DACA approval letter on 09/27/16. No approval letter for the EAD, just the card itself.

I wish all of you the best of luck with your renewals. Tell your friends and family to vote democrat so we can have comprehensive immigration reform and not have to struggle with crap like delays and losing our jobs anymore.
