Did you had a service request raised?

Yes, I raised a Service Request.

I will list the details here in case someone needs help.
On my 75th day (Jan 20), I raised a service request.
On Jan 21, I've seen a message in Case History that an officer was assigned to my service request.
On Jan 28, the message on Jan 21st disappeared but the same message was repeated with the date Jan 28 (i.e., an officer was assigned ...)
On Jan 29 (around noon), I received an e-mail on my service request that I posted above.
On Jan 29, a couple of hours after I received the e-mail on my Service Request, I received an e-mail saying that "my New Card is Being Produced". Around the same time, I received a text message saying that there had been a change in my status.
On Jan 29, an hour after I saw "My New Card is being produced", I received an e-mail and text again, saying that my "my Case was approved"

congrats @sardes ... !!

Thank you! It's a great relief!!!

Congratulations! Do you know how long does it take to get the card?

Thank you!
I don't know, I haven't received my card yet!
It should not be more than 10 days though. USCIS uses USPS fast shipping service.

Would you mind updating this when your see your status as 'card was mailed' and when you receive your card? Thanks!

I will surely do, no problem! From what I observe from the updates, it should take at most 10 days to get the card after approval. Generally, it happens within a week.

Have you received your ead card? I notice there are a group of people got approved around 1/28.

No, not yet! I only received a I-797 notice today that says my application was approved! It says that card will be mailed in a separate e-mail.

I see. I received my I-797 notice on Monday, but the card did not follow up and my status stopped to update (still "case was approved"). Some people have already got "card was mailed". Just called and filed another service request to investigate that.

Just curious - When did you receive your I-797? @sardes and @starouterspace.

I received it today!

@pls291 I got the notice on 02/01, approved on 01/27.

I received the card today in the mail. After a few hours, I received an e-mail and a text by USCIS telling that "Card Was Delivered To Me By The Post Office"

First of all, congrats!! Just out of curiosity, can u let me know ur eac #? Not the complete no, atleast 7 digits?
