EB1A EAD Timeline Question
Hey everyone. My i-485 and i-765 were both received on 03/24/2025. Biometrics were done on 04/17.
I understand the i-485 takes times, and it's okay, I can wait, but I'm wondering why the EAD is taking too long.
I've seen posts (here and on Reddit) where people have gotten their i-765s as little as one day after their biometrics, some in a week or two, even a month.
It's going to be almost 3 months. Last time my i-765's API was updated was 06/09 based on an address change, before that it was on 05/30.
Anyone dealing with a similar situation? Or has any idea how long I can expect to wait?
Thanks!

There isn’t much to do here other than wait. If you need it sooner and have a valid reason, you can expedite it but that is USCIS’ perogative to accept your expedite request.

I received by AOS based EAD 134 days after receipt date. My observation is that people who have calid work visas don’t get EADs processed fast, people who have no way of working here or have visas close to expiry are prioritized. Just a theory though

I got EAD approval today. The receipt date is March 27.

I agree with Ashley's theory. My wife's EAD and Advanced Parole has been approved, yet mine, the principal beneficiary has not approved.

I am in the same position just a shorter time frame, and have only done biometrics today (filed May 1st)
I can let you know how mine goes! @D 3

Similar with me, receipt date of 14th March, dependent EAD already approved. I'm also on H1b & 18months still left on the visa.
