OPT EAD Delayed
I applied for my post OPT on October 29, 25 and March 13, 26 is the day to communicate with the USCIS. previously the center was Texas, since when I contacted on March 13, 26, I got reply as case was moved to Potomac Center. Still, it showing, I have to wait another 2 months. Now I almost completed 5 months, still no EAD approval notice. Worried either to wait for the update or go for premium processing. Here is another, my lease ends next month, considering next lease. Does it affect my process, If I change my address? #OPT #EAD #F1 #Immigrant

ssn with ead
Hello guys, a question recently when you received the work permit card did you also get the social security or did you have to go to the office to apply for it? I ask because many say that they are no longer sending it, and that one has to go yes or yes, to the office to apply for #sijs #ead #ssn
Approved work authorization application I-765 but No EAD Card After 100+ Days
My work authorization application has been approved for over 100 days now( sep 3rd approval date), but I still haven’t received the card and the status never changed to ‘card produced.’ I’ve contacted USCIS so many times and every time they just tell me to wait another 30 days.
My Congressman submitted an inquiry and USCIS took 29 days to respond. They told him my application was approved back in September and that the card would be produced at a different USCIS facility, and that I should receive it within 30 days. Well, those 30 days are over and I still haven’t received anything.
So my Congressman submitted a follow up inquiry and we’re still waiting. I originally submitted my application in June, so this has been going on for a really long time. It’s honestly so frustrating and unfortunate.
Has anyone been through something similar?
* update: Jan 8th, 2026, I got a new approval notice for my work authorization from USCIS yesterday ( a second one with different dates with 18 months validity instead of 5 years ) . So hopefully they send me the card this time.

A special shoutout to those with NIW 2023 who are finally seeing their cases become current. Here’s to positive outcomes for all of us!
For those who are further along in the process, I’d love to hear from you:
- How long does it usually take for the fingerprint appointment to come through?
- And what about receiving the EAD card?
Thank you all!
