EAD Delayed 9+ Months – Anyone Else?
My I-730 is approved and I filed for my EAD as well as Green card(i485) under category A05. It’s been 9 months with no update. I submitted an ‘outside normal processing time’ service request on Nov 28, 2025 but still no response yet. This is at the Nebraska (LIN) service center. Has anyone else with A05 faced long delays? How long did it take after the service request for your case to move? Has anyone received their Green Card before they ever got approved for EAD???

after e-request you should give them 30 days, after that if you don't get any updates call them, during this 30 days there's nothing you can do, if you are from 19 ban countrys all benefits are paused.

I applied for Form I-485 and the A05 category EAD on November 1, 2024. My EAD was approved one year later, in November 2025.
