How long have you been waiting now? the whole process is 6 months. No EAD will be produced before approving the TPS. You need to wait for the approval and usually the TPS approval arrives at the same time than the EAD
anny plant-basedNov 16, 2021
6 months already. :(

Víctor ValderramaNov 16, 2021
You need to inquiry an e-request or call the USCIS so that they can give you an update. Typically the e-request is enough and you can do it online
Henry GuevaraNov 17, 2021
Nope, I think is 7.5 to 9.5 months in vermont center double check uscis processing times in google form I821
Daniela PirelaNov 18, 2021
Anny, I’ve read that Potomac has taken forever so far. I just turned 5 months waiting :( and nothing yet
Henry GuevaraNov 18, 2021
5 months after fingertips?
Daniela PirelaNov 19, 2021
Henry, it’s been 31 days since my biometrics. 5 months total! I applied for TPS and EAD June 18th

Víctor ValderramaNov 19, 2021
You guys are still within the processing time for that form. I know sometimes waiting can be frustrating but hold in there. It will come soon!

Dennis RNov 19, 2021
today was supposed to be a day to ask for a case inquiry. but when I tried to do the inquiry, the system says that I’m still within the processing timeframe. this is BS
Henry GuevaraNov 19, 2021

Henry GuevaraNov 19, 2021

Dennis RNov 19, 2021
for TPS???
Henry GuevaraNov 19, 2021
yes check procesing times in the website of uscis, in potomac appears now 6 to 9.5 months
Daniela PirelaNov 19, 2021
Henry, are there processing times for TPS in Potomac? When I check, I only find the times for EAD
D
Dennis RNov 19, 2021
it says 3.5 to 6.5 months

Víctor ValderramaNov 20, 2021
Hey guys. Those Processing times are constantly changing. You need to keep on checking and submit an e-request as soon as you can if it’s outside the processing time. Which service center is processing your cases?!
V
Víctor ValderramaNov 20, 2021
Remember that Venezuela is new on this TPS matter and processing time you are seeing on the website May be confused with processing time for El Salvador, Haiti or Nicaragua. Everyone you ask (including immigration attorneys) they all agree that standard time is 6 months. Some cases may take longer than this because of the person and not the service center.

Víctor ValderramaNov 20, 2021
Easiest way to find out is by calling to USCIS and requeste an info-pass in order to speak with an agent. This agent will give a clear date of your case processing time. Again, USCIS is still accepting TPS applications for Venezuela until next year; which means they are far away to post clear information on their website.
Daniela PirelaNov 20, 2021
Victor V, my processing center is Potomac! i’ve heard that one takes forever. I’ll see about the info-pass, thanks so much!
