  • EAD Card

    Hi,

    I am Shikha Duttyal. I have graduated On May 8, 2015. I applied for OPT on March 17th 2015. USCIS received it on March 20, 2015 and they claim of sending the receipt to me on March 27th 2015, which was never received. The date of joining on my EAD application and my actual date of joining with my employer is June 22, 2015. Till now I have not received a single notification on my case (not even seen the receipt to see if my personal details are printed correctly). I have called USCIS to raised an expedite two weeks back but did not receive any update. I called them on June 3, 2015 when my case went out of the normal processing time period and they again raised a service request saying that with in a few days to a week I would receive a response. I called them again today saying that it has been a week since I raised a service request but yet did not receive an update, so the agent told me that they can do nothing but to wait for 30 days with in the service request being raised. I have absolutely no clue on why my case is taking so much time and what I should do as my date of joining with my employer is June 22. The earliest appointment with USCIS InfoPASS is also available after June 22.

    Please suggest what should I do in my case. Any help or suggestion would be highly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Shikha

        there is a previous post on desiopt where a similar case is discussed. I think you can contact the congressman, who can do it for you.

                Yeah.. It's illegal to work before u get your ead card... If you get caught u can face deportation too... USCIS has become very strict these days so anything can happen.. Upon that your wish..

                  No, I did not. I raised expedite request on May 19th and got an email from them on May 22. They just asked me an explanation which I gave. After that I have never received a response on my expedite request. USCIS raised a service request again on June 3rd. I called today to ask for an explanation and they again told me to wait for 2 more weeks for any update. I have found out the congressman of my area. My question is, is it procedurally correct to contact congressman and would be safe to do so? I have seen posts and few people's response telling to take help from Congressman. Sorry about the question but in the past 1.5 years I have faced some strange situations in this country being unaware of the rules and conditions. So, just want to make sure of everything before involving government organizations.

                  Thanks,
                  Shihka
