if it helps, my pd is jan 12, 2023, submitted 485 EAD and AP on jan 5, 2024. no update on EAD and AP, while i485 went into CRP because "visa isn't available".

@Charlie SC I know you from Pakistan, me too. At least they should process EAD if 485 is delayed. I am unsure if EAD approval is also linked to country.

@Charlie SC it takes 6 months in most of the cases. you will get it in September

@H N Sure. will do.

@h m Hopeinh for it.

mine is like this since Jan!

@Fez H Still no update on EAD?

no @Charlie SC it's really concerning now. i chatted with the live agent and he said it's still processing

@Fez H Yes. Especially when some people are getting EAD within a month. It's a black box with no pattern.

@Fez H When can you raise a service request? I can only raise in November.

@Fez H What's your current status? Is it still valid? Means are you still able to earn on some status?

yes, I am already on job. i can raise an inquiry on August 28

@Fez H EAD approved today.

hey congratulations 🎊 @Charlie SC that's awesome 👌

@Fez H Thanks. Have you dig more into why your case went into CRP?

i just talked to Emma and was told that it's still processing @Charlie SC

@H N Letting you know that I got EAD.

@H N Good to know that. EAD is 5 years without AP. Good luck for 485. This process is killer.
