My card just expired today. And I haven't received an approval letter yet but can we apply for jobs with just an approval letter?

Halleluja!! Finally APPROVED!
Well at least it is only showing approved for the EAD but not for I-821D. But I've read here that's been happening a lot. The best way to begin my day! Now off to my Anatomy & Physiology exam!

By the way, it says I was approved yesterday, but it did not show until today.

Congratulation! My timeline is similar to yours (5/24) so hopefully I am next!

BTW: is the approvals only in the morning? Have anyone not get an approval in the morning and received an approval in the afternoon?

That's the same information that the Immigration officer told me. There is a hold up on my background check. I don't know what to do anymore. Mine expired on 08/26/16. My old job wouldn't even hire me back at this point anymore.

I applied on 5/24/2016 and EAD expired on 9/18/2016 and I've been on a leave of absence since then. I work for a major hospital so HR is pretty strict with their policies. So I cannot go back to work until they see the physical EAD card. It's been really tough just waiting at home and not knowing when your life will start again.

I did all the things you can possibly do; made several service requests, contacted ILC, contacted Ombudsman's office etc. The attorney that worked on my case is good friends with the senator so I've been getting periodic updates on my case. I just want to share with everyone the message that I got back from the senator...

"USCIS electronic records confirm that your constituent’s DACA renewal case is pending background check clearance. USCIS is committed to adjudicating these cases in a timely manner while also ensuring public safety and national security. A small percentage of cases have unresolved background check issues that temporarily delay adjudication. Although USCIS makes every effort to resolve such cases promptly, USCIS is unable to speculate when the background check will be completed"

I don't understand why there is such an issue considering they would find absolutely nothing with my background check. So I'm assuming a lot of people's cases has been delayed due to this reason, despite them saying "a small percentage."

I was approved on 10/4, but no EAD yet. My employer asked if I can show any other document to show my new expiration date. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can submit? Hopefully my card is produced soon. I'm glad my employer will take something else as proof, but ELIS still shows me as in progress, and I only received a letter in the mail about my DACA.

I showed my employer my DACA approval notice because it has the dates on it, and they gave me 90 days to bring my EAD card.

I'm really sorry to hear that. My EAD expired on 09/18/2016 and I've been out of work since then. I really don't know what to do either, I have exhausted all the things to do. When did you contact the immigration officer for that information?

Sorry to hear that. You don't need to mention your DACA and EAD situation until it's required which is at the time of hiring and going through paperwork for payroll. I would start applying to different places and hopefully by the time you find a position you will be approved. I expire in a week and I already started to apply for just in case.

Probably that's what I will do. You probably will receive the card soon anywhere between 2--3 weeks and 3 weeks will be 10/25/2016 for you...maybe it will arrive this weekend for you. And also have to account for the account updating on either ELIS or USCIS case tracker
