EAD - K3: It's been 45 days, no NOA?
Hi all,
My wife sent in her EAD (she's on a K3 visa) to the Chicago address about 45 days ago. she still hasn't received her first notice of action!!!
The check was cashed soon after I mailed the application. I don't have the phone number for the appropriate office. And I'm not sure if the 1-800 hotline will be able to help me. What can I do about this?
Thanks,

continuation from my prior email...
It's been 60 days now... and haven't received first NOA yet!!
Should my wife file again? What recourse do we have?

Another update...
I called the INS national hotline. The rep. told me that it could take up to 4 months to receive the first notice of action for an EAD (hard to believe!). I asked her about the 90 day ead policy. And she said that this is the time it takes after fingerprinting. So this puts my wife in quite a a quandry. I don't want to wait 4 months and find out that the application/receipt was lost in the mail. This whole INS process is like a big Catch-22 situation.
So i guess it's just a waiting process. Has anyone's first NOA for EAD taken this long?
