My renewal was accepted the 11th of January, biometrics taken on the 31st. My EAD expired June 18th. Done a service request on the 2nd of June and no answer as of yet. I also received an IOE #...

I started my application renewal process around February 2017. I faced a couple of problems due to money order issues (as I put the wrong amount and my lawyer had to send back my money order). I then tried to exchange the money order to the correct amount but had to send it by mail and had to wait until my money was returned in check form through the mail. Which took foreverrr My application was finally sent out and received on April 17th, 2017. Mind you, my permit itself expired on April 27th, 2017. Biometrics appointment was done on May 8th. My status has not changed at all since then. I'm really stressed and cannot wait until I get my approval because I'm in desperate need of a job! Everyone that I've talked to has asked me why I waited so long to send in my renewal but the truth is that I had no money to do so. Times are definitely rough these days.

When you go for the biometrics did you have any problems? My daca is gonna expire a day before I have my appt and I'm kind of scared anything could happen to me.

Why don't you try going before your card expires?

i believe its via appointment only, dont think i can change the day.

You can do a walk-in in most places I believe. As long as you already have the letter and they're not too busy, they should take you in.

Finally I was APROVED!
Since my case was received Dec4,2016

For those who havent get any response:
please be patient>>>keep praying and you'll be fine.

I lost my first City Job as a Full time Intern, But GOD had something better for me. I was offer a better job with higher salary and ALL benefits. ALL Thanks to Jesus Christ that gave me strenght and to an EXPIRED EAD.

Congrats I'm happy for you

Question ?

How long does it take to recieve EAD ?
