EAD delivered but it is not a combo card.
Hi guys,
I recently just received my EAD card yesterday. It is not a combo card. The odd thing is my AP was approved more than a month ago. Is there a reason they would not send me a combo card yet they approved both the I-765 and I-131? Has anyone experienced this?
Update- they said it was a mistake and are putting in a Service Request for me.

My AP was also approved since July 26 and I’m still awaiting notice in mail or document itself

are you marriage based or employment? it is strange that EAD is not combo card! you can call uscis and ask sbout this.

did you check the ead card to make sure it isn’t written on it that you can use it for entry?
B KAug 25, 2021
@Nick Kool.
It’s a marriage based application.
@Blessed Yep. It says not valid for reentry into the US.

B k , did u file both together i-765 and i-131. if u file both together u will surely get a combo card if not u will get them separately.
B KAug 25, 2021
I filed them concurrently. They both have the same receipt date.

your timeline gives me hope. I'm a March 2021 filer too but no EAD / AP combo card yet. My AP says it's outside normal processing time but I can't put a case inquiry because of the I-765

Hey @RL
My case was adjudicated faster because I got a lot of help from the Congressman both to get my Biometrics and to expedite my EAD. Have you tried going that route?
RL 26Aug 25, 2021
@BK I don't really know how to get help from a congressman to be honest 😁 I requested an expedite before I had my biometrics and that somehow triggered them to schedule me for biometrics then they denied my expedite. I was trying to expedite it again after biometrics but the agent said if it'll be denied the 2nd time it'll delay my case. the agent mentioned that the denial of my 1st expedite has nothing to do with my bio appointment 🙄
