How long will it take to receive the EAD card once you’re approved?

It depends on the status of your application. It can take a few days for the card to be produced and an additional three to five days in order for you to received it.

Mine was approved last week, on the 19th. The status changed to “card is being produced” until today, may 24th, and it changed to “card was produced”, which means it is now being shipped. From what I’ve been reading here, it takes about a week to receive it.

for me it was about a week. may 13th - approved/being produced may 17th - card was produced may 18th - picked up by usps may 19th - delivered by usps

@u r e na normally there is a barcode for each form the biometrics are being taken for. On my biometrics appointment I only saw barcodes for I-485 and I-765. I’m still waiting for my AP though which I actually asked for expedited reviewing. It could be that in your case they’ll send it as a combo so they’re probably working on approving the I-131 as well

@f d was it a stand alone card or did you get the combo?

I have the same dates and status with Bruna Garcia. The card should arrive on Thursday hopefully. Now I am wondering about the SSN?

SSN card may take a while to arrive depending on where your place of residency. I know mine arrived about a week after my OPT EAD but I heard conflicting stories from friends whose SSNs arrived within about month.
Bruna GarciaMay 25, 2022
@Rodi Bless I’ll share here when I get it, hopefully in two days as you said
Bruna GarciaMay 25, 2022
@Y E interesting, I thought they were mailed together. Did you get your AP too?

@Bruna Garcia No. USCIS only handles immigration procedures, social security numbers and associated cards are handled by the SSA, the social security administration. Those are two differents governmental departments. The USCIS will, however, send a request and proper documentation to the SSA in your name, provided you filled out the section in your forms. I never filled for AP as my wife and I were unable to get vacation or time off. We figured we’d wait for the permanent residency to be approved.

@Bruna it was a combo card, yes. My AP case on Lawfully didn’t even update. However my USCIS mailed notice referenced AP and my online case (MyUSCIS) showed Case Closed on the AP/131 case about 1-2 days after EAD was approved.
