The wait goes on......
 
After five phone calls to BCIS, I finally got an agent that recommended opening a case file on my EAD application which I've been waiting on since November 2003.

I've got to call them back in 31 days if nothing comes through the mail in that time and they say that someone should call me about the case.

Sure would be nice to get a job in the US after all this time here. My freelance job in the UK is just about keeping me afloat right now.

I could go and get a temporary work permit, but I can't drive all the way to South Carolina without a drivers license (DMV wouldn't let me have that either).

Hopefully, it should all get sorted within the next few weeks but I've given up holding my breath, I've started turning blue :(

And when you get off him, make sure he does something about your EAD.

(I'm sorry, it must be the heat.:D )

:D :D

My mind was already there. You're right, it must be the heat.

Not sure what happens now, so I guess I just need to wait until I hear something. If not, then I'll have to make yet another call.

I appreciate it although there are others that have waited longer. Another few weeks won't be too bad, I just hope it's sometime this year :D

Hang in there!! I was in the same situation last year and finally got my card after involving my local mp from home in Scotland,I emailed him and he got on to things and after over 9 months of waiting I got my card 2 weeks after first contacting my local mp.It's worth a try! Good Luck
