EAD Status stuck in CPO since 10/7. No physical EAD card yet

[lyhy]

Hi,

 

I applied for EAD on July 15th 2014 as my current EAD was expiring on 10/14/2014.

 

Opened a service request on October 1st since it was past 75 days.

 

It was approved on October 7th but I have not received the physical card yet.

 

Checked with USCIS customer service and Infopass but they are asking me to just wait for 30 days.

 

I know there is some problem somewhere since we always received all our cards (mine and my wife's close to 10-12) within a week after approval. As you might have gathered, my current EAD expired and I am at home on unpaid leave. 

 

Checked with the congressman/senator's office but they expressed their inability to help.

 

Are there any other avenues than to just wait till November 7th?

 

Never been in this situation before. Really appreciate any inputs.

 

thanks

When you went for InfoPass appt or "checked" with Senator / Congressman, did you just "check" or really made your case that how this delay would impact your life, your career, how it is emotionally disturbing etc. If you simply asked can you help, they have 100 other things to do. We need to "move" these guys. Try contacting USCIS and talk to L2 officer. L2 could help you further. Make your case to L1 to transfer you to L2 and make a strong emotional case to L2 to help you out.

I was able to convince the senator's office to call uscis even though they were very reluctant. Within 10 minutes, they called me back with an update. The card was indeed not in production. This scenario appears very unusual. They expect to have another  update by afternoon. Hopefully, it will be a positive news..

 

Keeping my fingers crossed and praying..
