EAD/AP Renewal- Combo Card

[Optimus Prime]

I recently applied for renewal of my EAD/AP renewal (I am on EAD with pending I-485 Application). Though I got the approval notice which says both my EAD/AP have been approved, my EAD card explicitly mentions "Not Valid for Travel" at the bottom.

 

The online status of my I-131 application still shows- Application received, Being processed.

 

Has anyone had a similar experience. Has USCIS stopped issuing combo cards?

 

Any input/suggestions on this are really appreciated.

Just an FYI for anyone who is in a similar situation.

 

I called USCIS and learnt that it is their mistake and that the applicant will have to send the following documents (express mail) over to USCIS to receive the right EAD/AP Combo card:

 

1. The Original EAD card sent in Error.

2. Copy of Approval Notice.

3. Copy of I-485 Receipt Notice.

4. Copy of current EAD/AP Combo Card (Which is about to expire).

5. 2 Passport Photos.

 

I sent my docs over today. Not sure how long before I get my combo card.

Thank you for sharing the experience. This confusion is primarily because of them stopping e-file.

Q: where do you file the combo application now? Is it the same place as where you file I-765?

Q: how many photos do you need to send?

Q: do you need to send separate checks for each application?
