 I know many of you are anxious about when you will be able to receive your I-765 Employment Authorization Card (EAD). Therefore, I put together some of my readers' timelines to give you an idea. 

How long does it take to receive my EAD card in 2021?

How long does it take to receive my EAD card in 2021?

As USCIS struggles to clear up a huge backlog on issuing EAD cards, many applicants are worried and waiting anxiously. Here are a few real timelines from my dear readers for your reference. I hope this will ease your mind a little bit and give you an idea of what to expect:

According to USCIS's website, the current processing time for I-765 application is around 9 to 10 months. (see the chart below)

This is a new system of calculating the processing time. They give you a range of time instead of a firm number. 
  • The first number means the time they need to process 50% of the cases;
  • The second one is the time they need to process about 93% of the cases.

As you can see, some of my readers' real cases are actually taking longer than what USCIS posts on their website. I think this may be because the estimated time range from USCIS is being updated every months and it really various case by case. So I would suggest you check the processing time range once a month to make sure your case is still within the range before you contact the agency!

I hope this information helps! Good luck!
