Expert Answer: Asylum-based (C08) EAD applications typically take 3 to 6 months to process, though some are approved faster. Since it has only been 36 days, your case is still within normal processing times. You can check the USCIS processing times for Form I-765 on their website and track your case status online. If your application remains pending beyond the normal timeframe, you may submit a case inquiry or request expedited processing if you meet the criteria.
