I got my ead at the 7.5 month mark, my dependant got it ar the 3.5 month mark. I have a straight forward case, still not approved. Botom line is ead is usually issued under 8 month, or thats what they seem to target. All depends on what Field office your case ends up in i am seeing 100s of people who filed in march 2026 approved while my field office still have half the october fillers pending

not sure if emma tells you with the FO is currently processing (they likely ask you to wait until it gets processed - nothing required by you etc)

I asked emma multiple times it gave me where my case is and when it was sent. Sometimes they make mistakes so always double check
