Just venting.. It’s May 1st already and I’m still waiting on my approval. My application was submitted Nov. 19, 2025 and I’ve been placed on LOA from my job since February 23.. I have until the 22nd of this month to present valid EAD or else I’ll be terminated. I have done everything I can on my end to ensure I get approved as soon as possible but with another month coming and going, I’m honestly losing hope that I will be able to keep my job. And with the job market being as bad as it is, I may remain jobless even if I do get approved.
I have been getting support from my partner and have savings to fall back on but it’s not going to last very long soon. I know I’m not the only one going through this right now, and it really sucks that so many of us are in this situation. Everyday I wake up hoping to see some sort of change on my case, but as of late, every time I open the website I’m not surprised to see it’s still processing.
I wish I could stay positive but with waiting almost 6 months for approval, I’m genuinely just tired and frankly depressed… I’ve officially lost hope I’ll get it this month as well..
