85 days-My case is still under initial review. What can I do to expedite OPT card pro

[DesiOPT-FaceBook-Admin]

Hi I have been waiting for about 85 days since I received the receipt for my EAD card. My start date was June 1st but since I don't have the card I can't start my job. My boss has been understanding so far but I'm starting to get desperate. All my paperwork is in order but my case just doesn't go past initial review. Is there anything else I can do?

Just call 18003755283 and follow the instructions accordingly. Also have your receipt with you because they ask for the receipt number.

1-800-375-5283

listen to options (option might vary)

If you have questions about forms,card.. must be 1

Again the menu will ask if you know your uscis id please press 1 if you dontknow please press 2

Go ahead and press 2

It will give you some options to trace out your uscis id on EAD card
If you have found out uscis id it will ask you to press 1
if you still didnt make out where is your USCIS ID then press 2

eventhough you have USCIS ID goahead and press 2 that will redirect you to USCIS customer service agents

there you can talk about your issue . Hope this helps.
