Damn last time it took 6 month to apprived. This time is 15 days.

@Spandey808
Bro, I had changed my mind to travel since it took 5 months so I postponed my plan for later while waiting for AP. But suddenly my mother did not feel well and she had to undergo surgery. I got PTO approval from my work and I got doctor's letter which explained about medical emergency. I called USCIS and explained the situation and they suggested me to get an infopass appointment and visit field office with all relevant documents. Unfortunately, I did not get any appointment by close date so I just walked in and my luck favored me. I traveled to Nepal after 2 days of AP approval from the field office. I spent 2 months in Nepal and returned via Abu Dhabi pre clerance and it was very smooth. I traveled only once by using AP. I hope this information helps.

Application Acceptance notice: June 6
TPS approved :August 10

Anyone with new TPS/EAD update?

Seems like USCIS is doing a Last-In-First-Out process. Even people who applied in July have gotten their documents.

I applied July 10. Still waiting for biometric notice

Those who applied after June 24 2018, those are coming on time but who applied before that it’s taking time as I have noticed. coz in federal register it was mentioned not to apply before any notice is published. So in this case in my opinion it’s not right to blame USCIS.

@Rupa:
Read the federal register notice: https://www.uscis.gov/humanitarian/temporary-protected-status/temporary-protected-status-designated-country-nepal
The application date interval was from May 22-July23.

Almost 3 months now. smh

Lol, last day applications have been approved. What the heck is happening !

@pyackman, LOL. I though I was the only one who applied last day.
Guess they are working from top of the stack!

Good luck to everyone!

I think its the Nebraska Service Center that is lagging behind.

Application Received: June 5th
TPS: Pending
EAD: Pending
Advance Parole: Approved on July 30th.

Anyone else has this issue? AP approved but not the rest?

@chelseafc: Did you AP go to one center and other applications to other? It looks like any application that went to Nebraska is not getting processed quickly like others.

Any early applicants got their EADs yet? any updates?

Case Received: May 30
Biometric Reuse Notice: June 02

84 Days: No Approval

Receipt date June 5 for both me and my wife. My case was approved and recived EAD on Aug3rd. Her case is still pending.

@JonahRyan: What center is processing your case? It should be on the receipt apart from IOE.
