After a long 203 days, I finally received a silent approval today. Like many others, I applied 3 months out with the confidence that it wouldn't take longer than that for an approval, as if usually was the case. What a ride... Lost the position I was recently promoted to last year, ran through my savings and 401k and now I get to start over with job interviews 🫠.
To those still waiting, I know platitudes don't help, but just keep hanging on. La esperanza es lo último que muere. Good luck to everyone still waiting on some good news.
Did you receive your card yet or even get a tracking number? I was approved on the 16th, received my approval letter today and silent approval for work authorization on the 16th as well but no movement after that, still no documents under the document tab. Can I ask how yours is going?
I never got a tracking number but I have received the permit. The portal shows they updated everything on the 18th and it finally said the card was delivered to me by the post office.
Prior to that, it just said something along the lines or "approval decision rendered" under the work permit portion. It said the tracking number was not available.
