This article introduces several methods to check the status of your EAD card after you submit your OPT application.
1. USCIS Website
Starting July 12, 2023, USCIS has introduced an online status check feature for I-765 and I-130 applications on myProgress.
2. OPT-Timeline!
This website allows you to continuously track the status of your application. You can see how far along USCIS is in processing applications based on the submission date. By comparing the progress chart with your own submission date, you can estimate the current progress of your application. Once your case is approved, you can also track the shipping status with it.
3. Lawfully
This is a phone app synchronized with USCIS. After downloading, you can use your Case Number to check the status. The information on the app is synchronized with USCIS.
4. USPS Informed Delivery
Once you have the tracking number, you can subscribe to this feature on the USPS website. You will receive text message updates whenever there is a change in the status of your application. After the card is mailed, using USPS Informed Delivery to track the shipping status is more convenient than using the USCIS tracking number.
