how many months did you wait for your i-765?

I would say do not expect soon, it’s Texas, they are very slow. I applied in Dec 2020 EB3 and am still waiting for my EAD. It looks that they are more focused on cleaning the EAD backlog. Be happy that you have a combo card.

@Joshua Wynn, oh wow, did you have an interview? Tried to expedite?

anything lower than 20 months since the receipt date is optimistic, and that’s if you are current.

@Joshua: Why is it taking so long? TSC is now processing December 2020 for I-140 and July 2020 for I-485. If there are no other outstanding issues on your case, you are long overdue for a service request about why is it taking so long as well as expedite processing request.

@Sassy J, where did you find that information? TSC is processing EAD for Nov and Dec 2020, but I-485 best-case spring 2020.

@Omo B currently 15 months, but it should be less soon.

@Dana: Sorry it was a typo, July 2020 for I-485 and Dec 2020 for I-140 E3, Oct 2020 Schedule A nurse. I fixed it.

Sassy J, they are still working on Oct-Dec 2020 ead cases (although oct seems finished, there are cases still pending but the number is way lower than for Nov and Dec 2020). Don’t even look at the processing times on their website, it’s just for show. I have been outside normal processing times 3 or 4 times and everytime I submit a SR they respond with an automated “your case is in line for adjudication, cases are processed in the order i which they are received”. Basically they are telling me to wait more. This is my 15th month waiting. Do not except to receive your initial ead before 15 months now.

@Uros: I know…right? Ridiculous! Maybe we should keep raising SR until they get fed up and do what needs to be done.
