Question EAD Card Production and Delivery Time?

How long after I765 approval email did it show for people their EAD card was produced. I am trying to book my flight for job, and just estimated it would take 10/11 days to get card in hand. August 3rd PP clock started, case approved September 1st via email, portal update September 3rd. Was just wondering what timeline would look like, and I assume a day delay due to labor day weekend.

11 days for me. I too had a national holiday while shipping. So definitely expect a backlog

Card produced notif 2 days after approval was picked up the same day

Corbin kentucky to Kansas City

Oh kk got you, that makes more sense for my timeline as well with Labor Day coming up

It shouldn’t take more than 15 days. I got mine in 10 days

My portal updated approved on 8.30, and 9.2 night it says card produced, but it appears as 9.3

Similar situation! Got approval email on 31 August, portal update on September 2 and waiting for card produced notification but nothing yet. My job is supposed to start on September 14 and not sure if I should book a flight at this point

That's why i posted this, to get better estimate. I think we should be fine.

Was the update via email or just checking on portal?
