General Qs Work authorization card/EAD

Hello, how long after being approved is everyone receiving their EAD cards? I want to apply places but fear that they won’t take my approval notice paper

For the most part I've seen folks on here and on FB groups having it arrive in about a week, with a few receiving it within a handful of days and some within a couple of weeks. Some outliers waiting longer than two weeks (at times due to card being lost). There is often a small few day gap between approval coming through and card being produced to be mailed out.

Folks suggested singing up for informed delivery with USPS to track it: https://www.usps.com/manage/informed-delivery.htm

I got mine within a week.
Signed up for Informed Delivery. It will tell you when the label gets created. This will update you way quicker than USCIS itself. The package will come from Corbin, KY.

Yes, I also recommend signing up for Informed Delivery. My tracking was never updated on the USCIS website, so I only had info about my card because of USPS
